Very helpful and professional service, R3 Provided an up front indication of the costs. Once they had received the drive they kept me informed of what was going on and informed me as to what data could and could not be recovered.

"Hard drive from a Laptop, no longer booting gets as far as starting windows, Hard drive is not recognised when connected to another computer and can not be accessed." In this case the the 500gb WD Blue after 4 years of use in a laptop had suffered enough knocks to setup the drive to fail. Multiple issue from the spindle beginning to seize and head crashes causing platter scratches meant it was not possible to get a 100% recovery but by targeting just the priority data it was possible to recover what was needed. Glad we could be of service. Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery
Basically they have restored all of my files.

"hi we have a seagate HD 1000gb ,the cable was damaged so we got a new and now when we plug it in it comes up with a fault error code 49244 could not mount "seagate"{com.apple.diskmanagement.dis enter error 49244}" After 6 years of use the Samgate Momentus degraded affecting the ability to access the drive and enter the password to the file vault protection. R3 Engineers were able to convert the drive from USB to SATA create a good image which accepted the password provided and allow access to the data.
R3 Data Recovery has done swift and solid work for me, retrieving 2TB of data out of a HDD failure at the worst possible time. A stressful moment as I was short of 2 weeks of backups in a tight deadline context. This was a high vulnerability event, and Andy and the team at R3 Data recovery delivered a service with a proficiency I cannot praise enough. No downplay of the possible outcome, no drama either. I had a diagnostic less than a day after I delivered them my HDD. They manage to recover my data in less than 48H. R3 Data Recovery is the type of company you are very glad that exists, for circumstances you never want to occur.

Thank you for your review Xavier R3 Data Recovery a effectué pour moi un travail de récupération rapide et efficace de près de 2TB de données, provenant d'un disque dur défaillant, au pire moment possible pour moi : Il me manquait 2 semaines de backup à très courte échéance d'une deadline importante. Un imprévu qui me plongeait dans une vulnérabilité certaine, durant laquelle Andy et l'équipe de R3 Data Recovery ont assuré un service d'un grand professionnalisme, sans minimiser les risques ni dramatiser les enjeux. Moins d'une journée après livraison de mon disque, ils m'ont fourni un diagnostic. Ils avaient recouvré toutes mes données le jours d'après. Je recommande chaleureusement l'expertise de R3 Data Recovery et leur capacité à résoudre ces problèmes que personne ne souhaite voir advenir. Xav
I waited 2 years before getting my external hardrive assessed, but all communication from R3 was clear and not too technical, and they managed to salvage most of the data which was 20yrs of group family photos and very sentimental, the service was good and would use them again if I needed to. would highly recommend.

Many thank s for the review of R3 Data Recovery Ann Your enquiry "external hard drive failed. failure occurred during copying and reorganising folder data whilst copying photograph files from laptop" The external drive was actually a laptop drive in a casing which had sustained a drop and sever platter damage. The first rebuild was successful but had over 5000 damaged files out of 360,000. An additional rebuild with a fresh donor head stack further improved the recovery reducing the damaged files to around 1100 but crucially recovering what was needed.
these people provide a great service and are really helpful and friendly I would recommend very much

Thank you for the review William Your Recertified Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB hard drive had put in a good service and was actually in its second life. Your enquiry "CANT ACCESS DRIVE OR DATA ESPECIALLY MY ENCRYPTED PASSWORDS" puts in perspective the issues of storing not only data but passwords and security keys. R3 Data Recovery Ltd is one of the few high security labs in the Uk trusted by every type or organisation and individuals. For those looking for data recovery specialists beware that data theft is as much a problem as data loss. Always Pick a reputable company data recovery service like Team R3 www.r3datarecovery.com The data recovery hospital.

Glad we could be of service Paul and that your contact through Linkedin was able to point you in the right direction. For those reading do not assume SSD are more reliable than HDD should not forget to backup. In reality SSD are not just faster in use they are faster to die and fail if used a lot. The growing number of failing SSD needing data recovery follows the uptake of SSD in laptops and macbooks. Ultimately it comes down to backing up data. If you do not have an up to date backup you may need Team R3 ! Andy R3 DATA Recovery 0800 999 3282 www.r3datarecovery.com

Hi Will, Following your enquiry "My backup internal hard drive has failed .Its not detected by the OS. I have removed it and put in an external cradle , tried on 2 other PCs nothing." Cradle is working fine with other spare drives . One of the six heads in the drive was preventing the drive from reading and needed a head stack replacement. Fortunately the drive was not over filled and all but one file was recovered fully from over half a million files. Folders - 81713 Files - 571644 ( 1050.03 Gb) Normal Files - 571643 Problem Files - 1 R3 Data Recovery are constantly recovering these Seagate Barracuda and carry many revisions in stock, however this particular donor was sourced from another supplier. The head stack surviving and now added back to our stock for future use. For those reading this R3 Data Recovery carry a catalogued stock of over seven thousand working hard drives used as donors. We do have to order some drives but most are in stock and the stock is continually updated. This ensure the lowest cost of data recovery from failed hard drives.

Superb service. Great communication and explanations of the process.

Thank you for the opportunity to recover the unrecoverable !. From your enquiry "Currently not sure on manufacturer (likely to be Seagate) and capacity (laptop is not with me but will find out soon as possible). Have been informed that the problem is probably stuck heads, with beeping coming from the HD. The laptop it was in is a HP, probably at least 3 years old at a guess. Not sure if this has any bearing on it, but I only require up to perhaps 10 GB of folders/files recovering from the HD. If possible, email correspondence preferred. Thanks."

Glad R3 could be of service with your Western Digital 2TB WD20SDZW-11JJ8S0 "I've had the problem diagnosed as a broken laser platter so I need the data rescuing please. The data is fine. I've been told to stress that clean air is needed for the recovery. If I could have a quote, that would be great. Thanks" Several months after the initial enquiry at Christmas we we received the drive and sourced the matching donor. The rebuild was completed successfully but the file system had been severely damaged from the previous attempts to gain access to the drive. Despite the initial file system showing very little data it was found that most of the data over 60gb was in good condition although unlinked . Folders - 684 Files - 15078 ( 8.72 Gb) Normal Files - 13820 Problem Files - 1258 The recovery although successful and done to the highest possible success rate, was compromised by the numerous software recovery attempts and is why we always recommend to our prospective clients to not take risks with a failing drive if the data is important. A good outcome in a bad situation. www.r3datarecovery.com 0800 999 3282

Hi Kelly Thank you for your review of R3 Data Recovery Following your enquiry we were able to recover over 111,000 files with just 24 affected by bad sectors caused by the head crash. "The computer was dropped on the floor. Have taken to another IT consultant but they couldn't save the pictures on the hard drive. Was advised to contact you to see if you could save my family photos" Donor was sourced from stock and the rebuild solved the weak head fault and ensured the maximum quality of the data recovered.

Absolutely fabulous service from start to finish. Everything was completed ahead of schedule and as promised. We can recommend R3 without any hesitation.

Thank you for the review Le Roy Glad we could help you with your broken connector on your SanDisk Cruzer Blade. Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery Britain's Data Recovery Hospital
An excellent service. All of the data was recovered successfully. Over 15 years worth of privacy and IT stuff. I was lucky enough to know quite a bit about IT hardware and not to touch the HD nor to attempt repairing myself. Searched online and found R3 Data Recovery. I was very impressed with their facilities but also assured swing they have a very nice clean station. Having experience in repairing Hard Drives (corruption problems, hardware such as logic board, faulty head, or scratched platen). In my case I was 99% sure that it was a head problem therefore I stopped the HD and removed safely to avoid further damage. R3 Data Recovery did the rest. I have never been so happy of being billed as this means that recovery is possible with great success rate. No repair, no fee. These guys know what they’re doing and definitely recommend! If I could rate more I’d give 10/5.

Glad we could be of service Cleon From your enquiry the drive was degrading and running chkdsk had made the situation worse. - Spinning fine. - No mech noises. - Can see the drive but not accessible. - Can't access my files but sees the drive. Diagnosis Drive is showing SMART entries for relocations Folder structure has been chewed up by CHKDSK R3 engineer converted the USB drive to SATA and was able to regain control of the heads without the need of the additional expense of a rebuild. Although this was a good recovery some of the file system was damaged. For those reading this looking for help with data recovery, it is important to stop trying to access a drive that has begun to degrade if the data is important or precious.

I had an external hard drive with all the family photos and photography college work on that failed to be recognised by my laptop. I researched repair options and decided it was too important a job to trust to YouTube. I took it to a local market trader who was unable to help, however, he gave me the details of R3 Data Recovery (a previous customer had success with them) I called for a quote, and sent it off for initial investigation. I was then sent a list of files that could be retrieved and a list of 'problem files. and asked if I would like to proceed with further work to retrieve those. I went ahead. The upshot was they were very professional, from the initial call, through to the method of sending the disk back and subsequent update communications. The files were supplied back, on a replacement external 1tb hardrive (additional cost, compatible with Amazon so that seemed fair) I was advised to back-up this external drive with a 2nd and store away from home, for security which I'm in the process of doing. Whilst the price did creep up, I was happy with the service.

Hi Toni In this case the drive did need two donors and rebuilds to maximise the quality of the recovery from the Western Digital WD15EARS-00MVWB0. This 1.5TB drive had served a decade and was problematic but the recovery costs were kept down as there was only a relatively small amount of 80 GB of data needed which helped reduce what could have been a long and expensive recovery had the drive been full. Glad we could be of service, we do our best to maximise our success rates in order to keep costs down. Technically many DR labs would have declared this one unrecoverable because of the additional work and specialist data recovery equipment and expertise needed.

Thank you for your review which can help others looking for a real data recovery lab. From your enquiry "I dropped my 2017 MacBook. The screen broke so took in for replacement. When they unscrewed the back, they discovered the motherboard is broken. Are you still able to retrieve data? And a rough quote please" In this case the onboard SSD was affected as well as the LCD connector which had been torn from the logic board as well. R3 have highly skilled micro soldering technicians who were able to make temporary repairs to facilitate gaining access to the onboard SSD to recover the data. Glad R3 could be of service.
