Questions
Can you recover data from a water-damaged hard drive?
Yes, we regularly recover data from water-damaged devices. Do not power on the device - send it to our lab for professional recovery in controlled conditions.
How much does hard drive recovery cost?
Costs vary based on failure type. Mechanical failures start from £350, electronic failures from £250. We provide free assessments with no-obligation quotes.
Do you recover data from encrypted drives?
We can recover data from most encrypted drives, though decryption requires appropriate access credentials to be provided by the client.
What should I do if my drive is making clicking noises?
Immediately power down the drive. Clicking indicates mechanical failure - continued use risks permanent data loss. Contact us for professional recovery.
Can you recover data from failed RAID arrays?
Yes, we specialise in complex RAID recovery including arrays with multiple drive failures. Our proprietary techniques rebuild arrays with damaged metadata.
How long does the recovery process take?
Standard service takes 7-10 days. Emergency service available with 12-72 hour turnaround. Recovery time depends on failure complexity and required parts.
