Hi Thank you for your review. A NAND chip read was required to enable a full recovery of the data from a failed 128gb Lexar memory stick with a failed controller. 18.5GB of data was sent by password protected and encrypted secure download saving to reduce the time returning the data needed. Glad we could be of service Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery
Wasn't expecting any data to be recovered from flash drive having tried everything but the R3 lab managed to recover from the floppy 95% of the data which saved several days of work in having to reproduce A level course work. Thank you R3.

Hi Jayesh Despite your drive being opened and previously declared unrecoverable R3 were able to complete the rebuild within the day of arrival and recover almost all data. Although this took over 10 days to read as much as possible there were only 376 files damaged out of over 1 million. Folders - 38422 Files - 1151682 ( 144.01 Gb) Normal Files - 1151307 Problem Files - 375 Glad we could be of service and thank you for your review. Andy andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery.
You were able to recover data that someone else couldn't! Not a cheap option however - for ne - worth it!

Thank you for your review Wes Yes your Seagate 20gb ST320410A from a Zoom MRS1266 multi track recording studio had put in a good session ! Fortunately the head crash although causing platter damage was recovered by R3 Engineers. Almost all files were recovered in perfect condition, just a few of the audio files were affected by unreadable sectors but are potentially stll repairable / editable. Glad we could be of service. Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery.
Brilliant Service. We had a 15 year old device running windows XP suffer a HDD failure. This device was not previously known to exist by the IT dept, so it's failure blindsided us. We needed to be able to recreate the service that XP machine performed, however we had none of the physical media required to install software so we contacted R3 data for their data recovery services. We had hoped for a possible clone to be created of the disk, as that would provide the most straight forward resolution, however that was not possible due to damage already done to the platter. R3 data were up front about this. At no point did they ever promise all data could be recovered. They managed to recover a large majority of data, and provided us with that data on an encrypted drive which we could decrypt upon our payment to them being confirmed. Their response was prompt, their communication clear, and they were very accommodating of our needs. Hopefully we won't need to use any data recovery services again, but if we do, I would use R3 data and recommend them to anyone.

Hi James Thank you for your review. Your ST340015A Barracuda hard disk drive had certainly put a good service. Glad we could be of service. Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery 0800 999 3282 www.r3datarecovery.com
Cannot fault this firm. Successfully recovered 99.9% of my data, all within 5 working days , including collection of drive, I was kept informed at every stage of the process and as someone not very 'techie' was not patronised. Not cheap, but well worth the cost. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again (although I hope it won't be necessary!)

Thank you for your review Zara You were well advised to choose R3 Data Recovery. The KIOXIA SSD had succumbed to liquid ingress into the laptop. The recovery was almost perfect. Folders - 4627 Files - 59146 ( 85.11 Gb) Normal Files - 58958 Problem Files - 188 R3 Data Recovery engineers processed the case noting:- SSD is coated in sticky sugary coating - suspect drink spill on laptop SSD is completely locked up - No device ID, nothing. SSD chip removed from PCIe card Confirmed device has suffered Liquid Damage ALSO DEGRADED (ERRORS IN DATA AREA - CLONING IS SLOW) This SSD would have likely failed soon anyway as it was degrading. I have posted some information here about the work of R3 Data Recovery and the issues we are seeing with growing numbers of SSD coming in for recovery. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/andrew-butler-a9160645_linkedinstories-gdpr-cyberinsurance-activity-6854984441316573184-Wte_

R3 managed to recover 100% of our data that an IT expert thought would be doubtful. From our first phone call to R3 all the way through the process of recovering our data, we were extremely impressed with their knowledge, professionalism and outstanding customer service. We shall definitely recommend them to anyone in the future that may suffer a hard drive failure with no back up system!

Thank you for your review of R3 Data Recovery Jim The drive was particularly degraded after head crashes and degradation built up during the failure and subsequent power cycling.

Thank you for your review Roel From your enquiry "This my personal External HD. The power supply burnt out and caused a failure which burnt the HD PCB pins. I would like the data recovered from the hard drive."

Impressive and hassle free process. Both Raid mirrored drives failed while backing up to a new PC. Thought all that was left to transfer was lost but R3 Data Recovery Ltd pulled the rabbit out of the hat and saved the day. Magic.

Glad R3 could help Hugh, A good description helped keep the task and cost to the minimum and your due diligence to select a company with trusted data recovery specialists ensured the protection of the data and full recovery. Andy and the team from R3 Data Recovery 0800 999 3282 WD2001FASS-00W2B0 "2x drives were in mirrored RAID 1 in Windows 7 PC (non-boot drive, data only - family photos etc.). Both drives failed at the same time. Disabled RAID to attempt to recover data off of each drive directly to another machine. One drive was not recognised, but the other was and was able to pull some data off before it failed too - Windows 10 machine "recognises" the drive being inserted, but cannot read any partition information. Windows Disk Management tools, DiskInternals, etc. all fail to recognise either drive, freezing during the identification process until the drive is turned off / disconnected. Request a quote for recovery to get as much data as possible from the drives. They should be mirror images, so only need one copy of each file from whichever drive it'll be recoverable from."

Hi Steve, despite over 15 years of good service it was the drop of the 80GB WD800BB-00JHA0 Western-Digital hard disk drive that resulted in the need for a rebuild and recovery of your data. Fortunately, you found R3 Data Recovery which had the correct donor necessary to do the recovery and upon completion of the process, the file list sent confirmed 100% (70.2GB) was recovered. Andy
