I have had hard drives die because of a voltage increase.  Mechanically they seem fine, but the board which controls them gets smoked.  There is no way of recovering those files without replace the controlling electronics board.

I had the power company lose my neutral to the service to my studio.  It smoked five hard drives and a G5 when the voltage went up to 147 volts.  I have power conditioners on all my computers now!  I had surge protectors on everything before, but they do not handle these slow voltage increases.
