VerifiedData Recovery Strategies

James had been preparing a presentation for the past few weeks. After completing it, he saved the presentation on an external hard disk. Unfortunately, while travelling to give the presentation, James accidentally damaged the hard drive. Because the damage was irreversible, the data on the hard drive became unreadable and inaccessible. What type of data loss did James cause?

Explanation

Physical data loss occurs when storage hardware is damaged, preventing access to the data it contains. Irreversible damage to an external hard drive is physical data loss.
