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.  Â

To whom it may concern, I have two External hard drives, one is around 8 years old approximately & around 500mb capacity from memory, it was used to full capacity. The other is around 5 years old approx & 1TB capacity from memory & approximately a quarter of the storage was used. Both hard drives where used on I Mac's & both where subject to various OS system upgrades. The newer drive was running a few months ago as I tried to transfer the files across to another device as i was concerned about the age of the unit. At that time (summer) I was trying to copy large groups of files & the device was quite hot & the componentry within was loud (whirring noise ?) The newer unit is my primary concern but pending price I would look at retrieving both. Both units show a light when plugged in & make a faint noise but do not come up in finder (assuming amongst many things it is driver / OS compatibility ?) I have two new external Hard Drives to transfer the information across onto. - Due date: Before Thursday, 7 July 2022

My laptop suddenly went black and wouldn’t turn on last week. I have had my company IT try to troubleshoot any issues over the phone. I.e turn on and off, hold rest and power and even remove battery and try to turn on etc All unresponsive and no sign of charging at all. I have a lot of sentimental files of my late father on my desktop that I’m desperate to recover. The laptop is a Lenovo thinkpad yoga 360 I think. Any help would be much appreciated

I have a Seagate external hard drive. When plugged into the computer it shows and says there is an issue then doesn't show - issue first occured after trying to render a video on it when the comuter froze. Blue light flashes, tried a data recovery scan and didnt work. Also tends to show as This PC rather than as an exteral drive. I need the files on the hard drive
