What does a file recovery service include?

DIY-ing your data recovery is risky. Accidental overwrites, formatting and further damage to the device makes data recovery especially difficult. (And possibly more expensive.) The first step: get your device in the hands of an IT expert. Here are some of the devices and common problems your data recovery expert can help with:

Hard disk drives (HDD)

Hard drives are prone to physical damage and system errors. Whether it’s an external hard drive or the one inside your computer, the internal moving parts mean over time they wear out and degrade in performance. Hearing clicking or whirring noises? There could be physical damage, so your data recovery expert will use a precision screwdriver to repair the motor and hard drive heads. Seeing error messages or experiencing power problems? A system fault or virus may need fixing. Your techie might first try installing recovery software onto your computer. Or they could remove the actual hard drive from the case or computer and use a SAS/SATA to USB adapter to access and recover your files that way.

USB memory sticks

When your flash drive stops working or isn’t recognised by your computer (even when you’ve given it a wiggle) the problem could be faulty connectors, a bad computer USB port or something more serious like a virus. To recover your files, your data recovery technician will first test the memory stick by plugging it into a different computer or USB port. If this doesn’t work, they may use small screwdrivers and pliers to straighten out the connectors. If the damage isn’t physical, checks are made to identify a reason for corruption. This often involves recovery software, which can also help with deleted file recovery if anything has gone walkabout.

Solid-state drives (SSD)

SSD file recovery isn’t easy, because it relies on electrical components to save and retrieve data. When these go bad, it’s very difficult to recover files. But not impossible. Your data recovery expert will ensure a technology called TRIM isn’t enabled. To do this, they will use special recovery software and commands for SSD devices. If they can’t recover your files this way, your drive is sent to a forensic data recovery lab for further investigation, restoration, and data extraction. Be aware, though - this can be expensive.

Phone and smart devices

Need to retrieve messages, photos, numbers, and videos from your phone’s internal memory? Depending on the type of damage your phone has suffered, it may be salvageable. If your phone still switches on, your IT expert will first try downloading specific apps for data recovery. If this isn’t an option, they’ll plug your phone or device into a computer via USB for further debugging and file extraction.

Data Recovery from a 8TB Mechanical HDD to New 8TB HDD

Data Recovery from a 8TB Mechanical HDD to New 8TB HDD Hi there, I have a 8tb mechanical HDD hard disk with folder and videos inside. This morning I tried to access the disk drive however, it started making a slight "itching" type noise. I tried to use Disk Managment to access the disk but it says I/O error. I then tried to use "EaseUS Data Recovery" software, but I cant see the folder structure. It hangs in the "Scanning" mode with no movement and progress. I then took the disk drive to a local computer store and they said they are unable to get access to the folders to recover anything using the softwares and techniques they use. I am stuck and need a solution to get all my folders off this disk, and copied accross to another disk. Please provide me a guaranteed quote of providing this recovery service, and the percentage confidence you have in completing this job. I will pay for a brand new 8TB hard disk to transfer everything accross too. Thank you - Due date: Needs to be done on Saturday, 20 May 2023

My external 1TB hard drive is no longer readable when connected. I'm hoping someone can please help me recover, access and transfer all my files over please. A computer technician looked at it however he wasn't qualified enough to carry out work on the actual drive. Connection had original broken and then it came up on my computer saying it needs to data restore to continue. Thank you.
