“R3 did a great job of retrieving all the precious photos from my daughter's smashed iphone. Our local phone repair people and Apple said they couldn't do it so I was delighted when the R3 team got them all back. The customer service was absolutely excellent and the process from collecting my phone to getting the photos back was flawless. I would definitely recommend the team to anyone needing to recover their data. Thank you!!”

Hi Chris Thank you for the review and the chance to let potential clients know we can recover data from iPhones that Apple stores and mobile phone repair shops cannot. And many thanks for your recommendation of a supplier that has already helped R3 make an annual saving that will help keep competitive pricing. "The iPhone has been thrown hard on the floor - twice - and badly broken. it contains 2 years of my daughters photos which we are desperate to recover as they were not backed up." We have been recovering data from damaged iPhones since 2009 and were one of the first in the world to solve error code 14 in late 2020.

“This a genuine review from unconnected customer. I had 99.99% of lost data recovered by R3 Data Recovery Ltd (only one file was damaged/lost and this file was not important at all). I could not ask for more and I did not expect to get my data at all when on 30th of December 2021 my Seagate 1TB hard disk containing all important private and business data decided to give up and all format of the data was changed into the RAW files format. I knew the disk should be backed up but like most people, I just never managed to do it. I used the hard disk the day before and never noticed any issues and suddenly on the very next day - all data was lost. My computer could see the disk but could not access any data on it. I absolutely panicked, tried to google possible solutions, contacted Seagate support team but they could do nothing as the disk was not accessible. I have searched for data recovery companies online - and came across of number of ''so called'' data recovery companies, however after reading the reviews and after speaking to few sales people I have realized that they are not trying to help me to recover my data - they are trying to get me as a customer, get my disk with data and then get as much out of my unfortunate situation as possible for themselves by quoting me ridiculous price. How can you trust a data recovery company that cannot quote you a price upfront and number of reviews state this company is overcharging and don't really recover data in the right format? Believe me - it was my worst nightmare and unfortunately most of those ''so called'' data recovery companies do exactly this (I think they just rely on customers being desperate to get the lost data back and they charge those customers what they want). I genuinely thought I've lost all data till I found R3 Data Recovery website and came across the positive reviews. I decided to contact R3 Data Recovery and just have a chat to find out whether it is another company that I should avoid. To my surprise I could not ask for more professional approach. I was asked number of questions and straight away I received an answer of what possibly could have happened. The lovely and professional gentleman I spoke to explained all the process to me and straight away provided very reasonable quote. The quote was also confirmed in writing which made me feel like it is a genuine company. I have decided to send the hard disk to R3 Data Recovery and really hoped for a good result. Within a day from receiving the disk R3 Data Recovery contacted me stating that most of the data was recovered (I was also e-mailed image of the recovered structure of folders and files to check). I could not believe how quickly it was done and how excellent was the service they have provided. R3 Data Recovery has managed to recover almost 100% of my lost data (with only 1 file being lost - and it was a file I never used as it never worked). All the way during the recovery process I was informed of the recovery stages, the new disk with recovered data was returned to me within few days, safe and secured. I could not believe my luck and I will be always grateful for such an excellent service and all the help. I know it is a long review but please believe me - do your research and DO NOT TRUST first data recovery company you find online. You can definitely trust R3 Data Recovery. I could not recommend R3 Data Recovery more - be reassured this is a 100% genuine data recovery company with excellent service you can trust ( I was reluctant to trust anyone but had no choice and I'm so glad I was lucky enough to find this excellent company). Once more THANK YOU - you have saved not only my data but my time and saved me a lot of stress. Extremely satisfied customer (ref: R3-115368)”

Many thanks for such a thorough review. It is a sad situation that for many seeking help with data recovery it can take a while to properly identify a trusted data recovery company like R3 Data Recovery. Fortunately, R3s team of engineers and technicians are able to deliver consistently the highest possible success rates for everything from a memory stick to a Storage array and everything in between at reasonable cost for every task and service level. In this case the Seagate ST1000LM010 1TB had degraded but not completely failed. With just one file out of nearly one hundred thousand being affected by unrecoverable sectors. Despite there being several hundred thousand bad sectors caused by the scratches most were recovered except for the deppest scoring. ****************************************************************************** Folders - 3560 Files - 99236 ( 476.80 Gb) Normal Files - 99235 Problem Files - 1 ****************************************************************************** It is very difficult to compete against marketing and sales orientated data recovery specialists who claim to be experts in the fields of data recovery. Underquoting and offering free assessments should be a good thing but in reality, their market domination is achieved by defrauding consumers and preventing fair competition. R3 Data Recovery is one of the few companies to have helped victims of the "Friends of Fields" and their operation of the fieldsdatarecoveryscam. If you need advice or help with data recovery call Andy and the team at R3 even if you have been told your data is unrecoverable.

Many thanks for your review Randeep. It is good to hear you were able to complete your projects on time which at the time of your call was your main concern. "Hi. My USB stick has been ejected prematurely and now is not recognised. It might be RAW. I need help to retrieve the data please!" The controller on the 32GB memory stick had failed but the data was recovered by lifting the NAND chips, creating a dump of the memory banks then reassembling the data and file system.

“I used R3 Data Recovery Ltd following the complete failure of an external drive on which I kept all my data, both personal and professional. I can't begin to explain the level of distress and crisis the loss of this data caused. However, I greatly appreciated the time and the reassurance I was given by my first point of contact who talked me through the process of diagnosing and suggesting a solution. After this, I was given time to decide the options for service and followed the procedure for dispatching the external drive to the repair experts. I was kept informed at every stage and I am delighted to say that my data was recovered ( and placed on a new drive. I feel this was overall excellent service.”

Hi Joan Thank you for taking the time to leave a review to help other looking for help with a failing or failed Western Digital portable drive. The donor needed for the rebuild was sourced from within our own parts stock which consists of over 7000 tested and catalogued hard drives from the last 10 years ensuring we can save time and money through efficiency as well as keeping the cost down for the highest possible success rates. Out of 48,000 files there were only 6 which had some unrecoverable sectors. A good result for a drive previously deemed unrecoverable by another data recovery lab.

Hi Richard, It was good to meet you when you visited Security House. I did a Linkedin post assist with the recovery of your video archive from the G Speed Studio R Raid 5 unit 4bay with 4 Hitachi HGST HUS726040ALE614 . Wow! Amazing news Andy. I can collect tomorrow if that's ok and not putting out out at all being Sunday? Again... fantastic news 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 👇 When a G-Tech RAID "popped" the concern was that the drives had failed and collection was arranged for it to go for #datarecovery to specialists in their Fields. But something did not feel right🚩 I personally took the early morning enquiry on Friday listened to the description from a potential client who was in the process of deduplicating data and had prepared his other unit to transfer to. He explained after several enquiries he had already found an online quote from one of Europes Largest data recovery labs £97 - for 4 x4TB RAID with 10.92TB of data. - A Bargain ⁉️ As a professional and a normally fastidious manager of data he knew it would take time and was concerned that the Fields Data Recovery Specialists "account manager" was just too slick for a £97 online quote from an ISO9001 global company with offices in Pall Mall and Canary Wharf in London and HQ in Bridgend Wales who had been calling non stop even after he had asked them to stop. This triggered a second search Fortunately he found the data recovery blog. www.data-recovery-blog.com The UK and Europe Account Manager of Fields is Also Account Manager for Data Recovery Specialists, Rapid Data and Fields Data Recovery in St Louis Missouri USA. A big hitter one of the "Friends of Fields" who deceives and defrauds and also in my experience known for his "bonuses" and believes he is the best at what he does - and he is, but it also means many have been defrauded by him and his colleagues ... The client had decided to call R3 and spoke to me Andrew Butler after finding my posts about the problems in data recovery that I have tried to help prevent but also been damaged by. If you are not aware I founded R3 Data Recovery Ltd Britains data recovery Hospital for Businesses and Consumers. We recover data from VM VHD HDD SSD USB Mobiles, well almost anything that stores inaccessible data. I am a Director, an operations manager and Disaster Recovery team coordinator, but I also help out on enquiries when lines are very busy😎 I help those affected by and at risk from those that "profit" from the #fieldsdatarecoveryscam I explained it would be very unlikely that he needed data recovery but if he needed time critical data transfer there is a fixed cost and providing it is in the lab Friday it would be ready for despatch / collection Monday. He set off and was driving direct to Security House and despite a closure on a section of the M1, a diversion and additional 90 mins driving he arrived as the lab was getting lunch. I was able to give a tour of the lab which had been refurbished since its last video tour but still essentially the same as it has been for 16 years. After an R3 technician completed booking in and an R3 engineer confirming the Hitachi Drives were working fine, 2 x 6TB and 2x 8TB image drives were selected to image to, imaging commenced and completed around 11pm Friday night. The first 7TB of data completed transfer overnight, the remaining during Saturday ready for Sunday The two 8TB WD Reds were file listed and ready for collection on the Monday. 💾 R3stored by R3 ☎️0800 999 3282 🌍www.r3datarecovery.com https://www.linkedin.com/posts/r3-data-recovery-ltd_datarecovery-fieldsdatarecoveryscam-activity-6868260588699561984-WB9-

Hi Sean Thank you for your review of R3 Data Recovery. Although the drive had been opened by Fileds Data Recovery Specialists and deemed beyond economic repair, their diagnosis was also wrong. Their diagnosis had failed because of a detail that either they did not know or did not want to take the time to bother to address without significant upfront charges without any guarantee of a recovery. Fortunately you were able to get a second opinion from R3 Data Recovery, we had the correct revision of the Seagate ST2000DM001 2TB in stock needed to do the recovery. It is impossible to say if the previous work by Fields had made the drive worse but we were not able to get all of the data so prioritised just what was needed which was around 90GB ************************************* Folders - 101 Files - 17147 ( 90.16 Gb) Normal Files - 17128 Problem Files - 19 ************************************* But all in all a successful recovery and as your review attests we are pleased that the service you received from R3 Data Recovery was of the highest quality.

Hi Paul, thank you for the review. From your emquiry it was clear the drive was working upto a point but the data needed was not accessible or recoverable by software. "2 x Partitions. Drive operates and data recovery software has attempted to rebuild the directory, but fails." In this case 1 of the 6 heads was dead resulting in some of the data needed being inaccessible without a rebuild with fresh heads. To minimize cost the 5 good heads were used to recover as much of the data needed as possible. This gave the result needed saving time and money.

Hi Veronique, glad we could be of assistance and saved you money in a situation that for some would have been quoted more, the over the phone analysis indicated a rebuild should not be necessary in this case and it was understandable that you wanted time to ask the opinion of other data recovery specialists who claim to be experts in their fields. "I copied the data from my old hard drive to paste it onto my new one and some of the folders seem to have failed to transfer. I therefore need to recover the data from the original hard drive." The old 2009 Western Digital 320GB WD3200BEVT-11ZCT0 had certainly served you well.
