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)"

“I have had to use them twice within a year. They make everything so easy and have managed to retrieve most of my data. I have been very impressed.”

Thank you for your review Rachel. The MaxOne storage was a Toshiba MK3265GSX 320GB which in over a decade had developed bad sectors but was fully recoverable with help from R3 Data Recovery engineers. "I have a MaxOne Hard Drive that I have been using this morning but appears to have just stopped working. My IT department believes there may be a problem with the information board. I wondered whether someone could give me a quote to see if you can recover the files on it."

“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.”

Thank you for your review of R3 Data Recovery Your enquiry suggested a degrading memory area on a NAND chip this was confirmed with a handful of files (28mb) from the 11.8GB being affected. "Hi I have a CF card 32GB that has suddenly stopped working on my canon 5d DSLR. Attached is the error message. I am unable to view files when I connect the DSLR up to the laptop to extract the files. It has not been formatted.

Many thanks for the review. Glad we could be of service. In this case Patient Hard Drive : Clicking Toshiba MQ04ABD200 Assessment: Drive spins up but clicks and becomes ready, mods backed up, but drive very unstable needs CR inspection, probably been dropped In Lab Cleanroom Inspection: 2 platters and 4 heads (present) filter and chassis clean minimal rings Requires; Strip down, donor and rebuild. Donor sourced externally. Outcome : Successful recovery despite scratch rings Stats: Folders - 9833 Files - 85010 ( 110.74 Gb) Normal Files - 83636 Problem Files - 1374 Data returned on client supplied usb drive. Another successful recovery by the engineers at R3 Data Recovery the data recovery hospital.

“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”

Thank you for your review Andrew. To recover the data from a dead Liquid Damage Macbook Toshiba MK5055GSXF 500GB HDD required a donor pcb so the ROM could be swapped and to make the drive spin back up up.

Thank you for the review Jackie The western digital WD20SMZW-11JW8S0 2TB had suffered a knock and was not able to calibrate but R3 engineers were able to solve the head control issues without the need of a full rebuild. The knock had caused some damage to the platters which affected a few files but strain to the heads was not enough to prevent the recovery.

Thank you for your review Jill You were fortunate to find your local data recovery lab in Sheffield. "My usb stick has broken. Part of the end/cover has fallen off. Probably as it’s so old. Just need to recover the files off there please." The Sandisk Cruzer Blade needed temporary connections to enable a full clone to be made to ensure any corruption to the files were minimised. A 100% recovery was confirmed and the data was returned by secure download within 4 days from arrival to return. Sheffield Data Recovery 0114 4081282

Thankyou for your review of R3 Data Recovery. In this case your Samsung ST1000LM024 had a weakened head and required a rebuild using a fresh headstack in order to recover your data. Although there was significant surface damage the recovery of the priority data was successful. When choosing a data recovery service, the quality of the recovery is more important than getting a low quote or free assessment. In some cases a poor assessment of a failing drive or have a go hero approach to data recovery can make the situation worse and in some cases render a recovery impossible. R3 Data Recovery have built a reputation for recovering the unrecoverable and have thousands of donor drives for parts in our stock to help save time and maximise success rates.

“Saved a long dead (10 years old) hard drive that had a botched recovery attempt by Fields Data Recovery. Reunited me with long lost data that i had almost given up on. Amazing service, so knowledgeable!”

Thank you for your review Khalil you are one of the hundreds I have helped over the years affected by Fields Data Recovery / Rapid Data / Data Recovery Specialists, Data Phoenix and other Fields Associates Ltd Websites. The #fieldsdatarecoveryscam is an industry disgrace but unfortunately it is very profitable and designed to put smaller good data recovery companies out of business. Fields staff operate "sector domination by unrelenting growth" in practice this means making as much profit from easy work, taking risks with clients property and data, and declaring dat unrecoverable when it was recoverable before it went to Fields. The upshot is that Fields market domination has damaged thousands of businesses and consumers and continues to do so. Find out more on www.data-recovery-blog.com

“After talking to Andrew who clearly knew his craft did I have no problems sending a broken HDD for recovery, and not only did they recover everything on it, they did it in a speedy manner and with amazing simple service, I felt that from start to finish did I have nothing to worry about and just had to wait for them to do their magic. Would use them again and recommend them to everyone who ever needs recovery done.”

Thank you for your review Morten. In this case a 12 year old Western Digital WD WD3200BMVU-11A04S0 was clicking and needed fresh heads in order to achieve a successful recovery of your data. In order to do this a matching donor of the correct revision needed to be found which did take time to source but once the rebuild was completed the recovery was almost 100% with just 4 files affected by unrecoverable sectors caused by the original drop / head crash.

Thank you for your review of R3 Data Recovery In this case the Western Digital 1TB Laptop hard drive had suffered from a drop or knock sufficient to cause one of the heads to be damaged and the drive data rendered inaccessible.
