“Very helpful and friendly staff. Prompt and effective service. A pleasure to deal with these guys!”

“With so many options out there, I was unsure how to proceed, so I tried calling quite a few. From the initial phone consult with R3, the way they listened and provided honest answers, I felt like they were able to deliver what they said they could. And they did! Very happy with what they managed to do - all the data I needed from my broken iPhone was recovered - and they even fixed it for free which I didn't expect. I would definitely recommend R3 if you need a fast, reliable and honest option - and peace of mind. Because with a lot of options to choose from out there, they're probably the best at what they do.”

Hi Natalie. It was good to meet you and your colleague and I took onboard the importance and stressful situation you found yourselves in. I hope you read this and see that saving data was the priority. I am obviously disappointed in the reviews and understand your criticism for my mistake in the communications and my mistake with formatting your drive to transfer the data to during a very stressful and sleepless couple of nights. Re 5TB WD Portable 5 Platters 10 Heads Mac Formatted Mostly High Resolution Photo Shoots Pictures. Upon your arrival an immediate whilst you wait assessment was carried out. During your wait in the lab I was able to take onboard the situation you were in and the importance of the data to you and your clients. The initial test showed at least 1 weak head and confirmed scratches to at least 3 surfaces causing the complications we had to work out a solution for. The priority data could not be done within 24hrs and as it turned out it was also too difficult to complete within 72Hrs. The full recovery could take at least an additional 10 days of processing and would have cost 3 to 4 times as much due to the platter damage. I was under the wrong assumption the case was covered by insurance but again there were issues on who was indemnified, so we worked to the original quote for the priority data that could be recovered before close of business Friday having some delays getting the re copying the data formatted correctly which you did have to wait for whilst it completed. The mistake in the copying was entirely mine on the night I was assisting in the first transfers after checking with you that I could change the portable G Drive you supplied to exFAT as the machine used to write the image to could not be removed from the windows system the recovery was being done on. I had a couple of nights before formatted the drive and started copying data, the engineer carried on adding the remaining data unknowing that the drive was formatted incorrectly until you arrived. In fact when I found out about the delay I was adamant I had formatted it exFAT and insisted I check myself to put my mind at rest. This confirmed my mistake of formatting it NTFS. The revised plan had been largely successful in targeting and recovering the priority projects. It brought the task down to less than 300GB which we did, this was an achievement in itself. In fact on the week your drive was recovered we were processing other drives from other labs around the UK and Europe already deemed unrecoverable, which to many others would have been, so you were fortunate to find R3. This was a difficult case and one you could not get done anywhere else in the UK currently or within the 3 day time frame for emergency at the cost of £850+vat Your not having professional indemnity insurance and your friend not having enough because of another claim was also a factor. As it was an emergency I cleared it for release without the invoice being paid. I am sorry you felt your time was lost in travel and waiting for the copying to finish. Hopefully you will never have such a severely compromised drive again. I hope your clients are not so upset at being delayed by the accident that caused you to be in the situation. Any delay you think there was is purely communication and a basic mistake that are rarely made. It is in part because of my managing several cases in the same period and you amending the order of the recovery then changing it back, which I and the engineer worked into the early morning hours to help get you the data needed as quickly as possible. The engineer assigned is dedicated and works to maximise the quality and will also be disappointed in how little regard you place on his efforts to assist as I am in your rating of me personally. Working under pressure for clients under pressure themselves is not easy. Best wishes in your photographic endeavours and hopefully you will never need the services of a data recovery lab again but know we will be here for you should you find yourself in difficulty again.

“I contact R3 following an issue with Bitlocker that had activated when my motherboard was replaced. Everybody I spoke to said there was little to no chance of recovering the data but R3 gave me a glimmer of hope. I dropped off all the hardware and waited in anticipation of some good news. a Few days after dropping everything off I received a call from Will telling me they had managed to access the data. Sure enough, everything was recovered and placed on a brand new SSD. Communication and service was excellent. I would have no hesitation in contacting them again should I be a wally and not back up my data. 5 stars!”

“Communication great however my recovery was not a success my important files were not recovered so I do not understand why I had to pay in full for a recovery that was not successful I guess that is why you have to pay first so what ever you get back that’s your problem I’m now still stressed without my files and £310 down never again when it says if unsuccessful it’s £10 VAT not true you will pay in full and if you want more you will pay again in full feel cheated”

Hi Cee As discussed extensively there are factors that have affected your view of me and my team, and the results of the recovery quoted for. We processed this on the day it arrived using equipment geared to the task quoted and understanding of the stress you are under. Recovery of files from a degraded 64GB HP memory stick. Many of the recovered files opened but many did not. There were also many revisions of the same file. You paid for the recovery and the data and password sent. You then said that some of the files were corrupt. In particular Zip files. I started to look into this corruption last night and had the task queued for further work today. After the data recovered was returned were you mentioned that there was data that should not have been on the memory stick. That pointed to a completely different explanation to the cause of the severe degradation which was assumed to be as a result of unsafe removal of the stick as per my questions during the quote assessment. It now appears that your memory stick was being written to by your computer without you knowing it. This was a new development and then pointed to the monolith controller having had much more use and a relatively small area of the memory banks being used repeatedly than is normal. After requoting for the additional work to do a PIN out read of the memory banks bypassing the worn controller you reacted by saying you felt cheated. In no way do I work to deceive, my engineers and resources are not to be underestimated but they do come at a cost to the company and therefore to you the customer. You received the files that were recovered from the memory stick. The type of memory used in the HP is in effect the cheapest way to make one for the most profit for the brand owner and is not the easiest to recover when it comes to reading bad blocks in the memory. I will still look into what improvements can be made if any without further cost, but it will be our spare time at our own cost not on an emergency and with your agreement.

Hi Christine, Many thanks for the review, the team at R3 have been developing the best value high success rate data recovery services in the UK for over a decade. We have specialist Western Digital data recovery engineers and the resources to most often quote the best price based on the symptoms and model of the drive before it arrives. For those reading it is important to choose a real data recovery lab. Just because a company claims to have ISO 27001 or ISO 9001 accreditation does not mean it is a company that you can trust to deliver the highest success rates. There are many in the Fields of data recovery who are not what they seem, and we have been helping many of those scammed by a group of companies in Wales who dominate the data recovery searches then cherry pick the easiest work. This has resulted in many not getting a good recovery despite paying much more than we have quoted but misled by a "free assessment. It is important to do your research and find a reputable and consistently reliable data recovery lab like R3 Data Recovery 🌎 www.R3datarecovery.com ☎️ 0800 999 3282 WD5000AAKX
