Our recovery team works at the physical level: opening drives in controlled conditions, reading the raw data off the platters, and rebuilding it into files you can use again. We combine competitive pricing with fast turnaround times.

CRITICAL WARNING SIGNS

Signs you need data recovery

Hearing unusual sounds or unable to access files? Early diagnosis prevents permanent magnetic platter damage.

Non-Destructive Lab Diagnostic
  • A clicking, grinding or beeping hard drive
  • Physical or logical damage to the drive
  • Read errors, or "no operating system found" on startup
  • A drive that isn't detected at all
  • A drive that asks to be formatted every time you connect it
Emergency Diagnostic Tip: Turn off malfunctioning or clicking drives immediately to protect delicate magnetic platters from physical scoring.

HDD & SSD Storage

Hard Drive Recovery (HDD & SSD)

We recover data from traditional spinning drives (Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba) and from modern solid-state drives (Samsung, Crucial, SanDisk, Kingston). That covers physical failures such as head crashes and spindle motor faults, logical problems like bad sectors and corrupted partition tables, firmware corruption, and damaged file systems including NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, HFS+ and APFS.

RAID & Server Arrays

RAID System Recovery

Failed arrays are among the most complex jobs in data recovery, and they're a speciality of ours. We work across all common configurations ??? RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 ??? and handle controller failures, failed rebuilds, and arrays where more than one drive has dropped out. We support Adaptec, LSI and Areca controllers.

Portable & NAS Units

External Drive Recovery

External drives take more physical punishment than any other storage device. We recover from drops, power surges, damaged USB, FireWire, and Thunderbolt connections, and file system errors caused by unplugging a drive mid-write. All brands and models, including LaCie, G-Technology, Buffalo and NAS units.

USB Flash Media

USB & Flash Drive Recovery

Flash drives and thumb drives fail in their own particular ways: bent or snapped connectors, water damage, accidental formatting, deleted files, and corruption from viruses. We recover from all of them.

SD & Camera Cards

Memory Card Recovery

SD, microSD, CompactFlash and Memory Stick cards from cameras (Canon, Nikon, Sony), phones and other devices. Deleted holiday photos, a card that's corrupted mid-shoot, a formatting error before you'd offloaded the files ??? we can usually get them back.

When the whole machine has gone down ??? virus infection, boot failure, an operating system that won't load, or total drive failure ??? we recover documents, photos, videos, and business-critical files. Windows, macOS, and Linux; laptops and desktops, including systems with serious hardware damage.
