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.

Thank you for your review Petros, You were right to stop, your enquiry helped Team R3 Data Recovery to give an accurate cost from the outset. After the rebuild the image made was all but complete with just a few UNC errors. The recovery statistics are testament to the success rates and quality of the work done and service provided by TeamR3 Britain's Data Recovery Hospital. Folders - 32143 Files - 454987 ( 600.15 Gb) Normal Files - 454982 Problem Files - 5 "I've got a WD My Cloud 2TB NAS which was accidentally dropped. Attempted removing hard disk and trying to detect via Linux but no luck. It sounds like the disk its spinning but isn't being detected by the system(s) (linux, windows & my cloud). There's roughly 700GB of data to recover. More details on the drive: SATA/64MB Cache (WD20EFRX), Nasware 3.0, WD Red Nas Hard Drive. Could you please drop me an email with a price for both Standard & Emergency service level. Thanks & Regards,"
I would recommend you guys any time.. Thank you for saving my life and restoring my hard drive. 100%

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.

Fantastic service I have never needed the use of a data recovery company and I had all the nerves we all have. They answered all my questions before during and after. Quick service very reliable will recommend in a heart beat!

From your enquiry "Not for a company - personal request. Usb snapped in half having been in a laptop at the time. I have both parts out of the laptop." The Sandisk 16GB CruzerEdge has a plastic usb connector with a wafer thin printed circuit board, this can be seen as a weakness or a safety feature. Although we see a lot come into Security House for recovery they are almost all recovered as long as they are not interfered with.

Many thanks for the review Ricci From your enquiry:- "My external harddrive took a fall and now it makes a beeping sound but does not connect. After a bit of Googling I suspect it may be the read-write head stuck onto the disk drive platter?" The Western Digital WD10JMVW was inspected in the cleanroom, both 2 platters had minimal scratches and all 4 heads were present with the filter and chassis clean of any debris. An R3 engineer completed the rebuild using the matching donor supplied from our own parts stock, this helped with a full read of all sectors used by the data needed totalling 566.4GB Gald we could be of service. Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery
Quick, professional and polite. Great team. A huge relief dealing with our very stressful problem.

Thank you for your review of R3 Data Recovery . In this case the insurance company were covering the cost and Nick wanted wanted it processed by a secure data recovery lab. In this case the data over 14TB was recoverable thanks to the redundancy of RAID5, despite all working Seagate Constellation ES.3 Enterprise-class disks having bad sectors and one failed clicking disk having severe platter damage. The data returned on a new 48TB Lacie. "The drive is a Lacie 5Big 20TB Raid with a variety of data on it, but mostly video clips and Picture Images. I believe disk 2 is the sick one. Light blinking red, and beeping. "
The simplest, most efficient service I have encountered. I didn't have any communication problems whatsoever and the turnaround time was quick. I can't fault this service at all.

Thank you for your review of R3 Data Recovery Rebecca Glad we could assist with the transfer of your data to a new drive as per your enquiry. Technically not data recovery but a safe and secure service and secure wiping of the old drive. "I have an old Apple laptop that won’t turn on. I need the hard drive recovered/put onto something I can access please (needs to be windows friendly as that’s what I use now)"
Cannot thank the company enough. My compact flash card was not accessible and had some critical data on it. Rather than try 3rd party softwares and the possibility of corrupting the data further, I rang R3. Andy was extremely helpful and very reassuring. Arranged to have the card to them with ing a few hours. Within 6 hours of R3 receiving my parcel, they quickly arranged for me to have all the files that I desperately needed. Throughout the whole experience Will provided excellent communication as and when needed and more. I would not have any hesitation recommending R3 Especially for those who are in the photography industry like myself. Thanks again to the team.

My 1TB external hard drive stopped working several years ago & contained approx 5 years of family photos that I was not able to recover using various data recovery software versions. Having trawled the internet on numerous occasions, I came to the conclusion there are an awful lot of people trying to claim they can recover anything, but often at formidable cost upfront & no guarantee. The reviews of some of the more common companies did not make pleasant reading either & there was every chance of being ripped off & my data lost. So I decided not to risk my hard drive or my money. Due to family pressure, I decided to do another trawl this year & found R3 Data Recovery, which stood out as different as they had consistently good reviews for capability, cost, communication, good info video of the whole process, etc. So nervously I took the plunge. I would describe my own experience with R3 as being truly fantastic & reassuring from start to finish. From a simple email enquiry, communication was fast, clear & concise. They arranged courier pick up, on Monday, told me when it had arrived at site on Tuseday morning & gave me confirmation of a list of all of the recoverable files on same afternoon & what it would cost if I wanted to proceed. At £334 (including data transfer onto new stick) I regarded this as very reasonable for recovering 99.3% of my data & the stick was ready to be shipped back to me on Friday of the same week ! What incredible service !!!! So I can only speak very highly of the whole end-to-end process & would be more than willing to recommend them to anyone who felt as nervous about the whole thing as I had done for several years.

Thank you for your review of R3 Data Recovery In this case a 10 year old Western Digital 3.5" WD10EARS-00MVWB0 had developed bad sectors on one surface possibly as a result of a knock or abrupt power disconnect during its long service life. Although the data was inaccessible R3 were able to regain control of the existing head stack and recover the data without the need of a rebuild at the lowest price quoted during initial enquiry.

My laptop hard drive crashed and I thought I'd never see its files again. Then I referred it to R3, who I had come across several years prior through a YouTuber they had helped out, and their service was excellent. Once it was collected, they communicated updates to me at every step and managed to promptly return a full recovery, so I now have all those files back again exactly as they were. A little expensive but I understand that's just the nature of the industry and it was well worth it. I will definitely be using them again in future should the situation arise
