Data Recovery
Dropped the laptop? External drive making clicking noises? Photos gone after a Windows update? We handle logical data recovery from failed laptop HDDs and SSDs, external USB drives and SD cards on-site across Adelaide. We do not run a clean-room (so we don't open physically destroyed platter drives) — but the vast majority of 'dead drive' jobs are logical, file-system or controller failures we can recover from, often the same day. Quoted upfront. No fix · no fee.

Can you recover data from a dead hard drive?
If the failure is logical — corrupt partition, formatted-by-accident drive, file-system damage, controller failure, accidentally deleted files, emptied recycle bin — usually yes, and often same-day on-site. If the drive is physically damaged (mechanical clicking, dropped, smashed) we honestly tell you that's a clean-room specialist job, refer you to one, and don't charge you for the assessment.
How much does data recovery cost?
We give a fixed upfront price after we see the drive — typically $199 to $499 for logical recovery from laptop HDDs, SSDs, external USB drives or SD cards. No fix · no fee: if we can't recover your data, you don't pay. Physical-damage recovery via clean-room partners is quoted separately and is typically several times higher.
Will my data stay private during recovery?
Yes — every technician is police-checked and signs a confidentiality clause. We don't browse your files. The recovered data is copied straight to a destination drive you supply (or one we sell you new), the working copy is securely wiped, and we never retain a backup of your content.
How long does recovery take?
Logical recovery from a single failed laptop drive or external USB: typically same day, often within 2–4 hours of starting. Larger drives or heavily fragmented file systems can run overnight. We give you a realistic time-to-recovery estimate before starting.
