When a drive fails, what you do in the next hour matters more than anything else. Keep the device switched off, don't run recovery apps that write to the same drive, and don't open it up.
We recover data from hard disks, SSDs, pen drives and memory cards — deleted files, accidentally formatted drives, corrupted partitions and drives that are no longer detected. We start with an assessment that tells you what is likely to be recoverable before any paid work begins.
Recovery is never guaranteed. The outcome depends on the condition of the storage device — physical damage, overwritten data and SSD TRIM all reduce what can be recovered. We will be clear about the realistic chances. Afterwards, set up backups so it doesn't happen again.
Recovery success depends on the condition of the storage device. We do not promise results before assessing the drive.

Data Recovery FAQs
Can you recover data from any hard disk?
Not always. Success depends on how the drive failed and whether the data has been overwritten. We assess the drive first and explain what is realistically recoverable before you decide.
What should I do before sending a hard drive for data recovery?
Stop using it. Power it down, do not install recovery software onto it, and do not open the casing. Every write or power cycle can reduce what can be recovered.
Is SSD data recovery possible?
Sometimes. Many SSDs erase deleted data permanently through a feature called TRIM, which makes deleted-file recovery harder than on hard disks. Failed SSDs with intact data have better chances.
