“STOP LOOKING!!! R3 IS THE ONLY DATA RECOVERY SERVICE YOU CAN TRUST! Victim of Fields? I contacted Data Recovery Solutions first - they sound good and offer free collection, testing, etc., etc. and appear to have good customer service, however, luckily since I research everything to death, I saw the pattern in their Trust Pilot reviews and came across R3 Data Recovery (who can actually help you get money back from these fraudsters) - I have had a memory card reported as unrecoverable by a Fields’ subsidiary in the past, magically after paying the full amount requested! - They also tell you they can dispose of it for free which I stupidly agreed to - Should have sent it to Andy and his team but that’s not the point of this review. Drive Failure: I had an Apple Time Capsule 3 TB drive fail after about 7 years of it sitting in the corner. Tick, tick, tick, nothing. I changed it from a backup drive to a storage device recently when my MacBook Pro was full i.e. no backup of the Time Capsule drive. I was video editing a huge, expensive project i.e. the full 3 TB drive - sod's law for it to fail when it did. Andy and his team had my drive collected from another country (2,500 miles from the UK) and shipped to his lab in the UK, located on a secure site, so you can have full confidence your data will remain confidential. You’re an idiot! At this point you need to stop and admit something - you are an idiot. You did not back up your data and it is nobody’s fault except your own. If you cannot admit that then don’t bother trying to waste everybody’s time - This is a professional service, you get what you pay for! I have since bought a personal NAS system to backup all my devices at home to avoid such situations in the future. Rinse yourself of all your emotions to productively move forward - it is not R3’s fault (I also went through these emotions). Professional Service: You rarely meet people in life who are so technically knowledgable and a pleasure to deal with. Andy is one of these gems - I actually can’t wait to have the opportunity to visit his lab in person next time I am in the UK. I have a very strong technical background and grilled Andy on the phone for at least 1 hour before I fully understood every single option and the full process. These guys are nothing short of wizards, this is the most advanced, professional technology company I have ever seen in the UK. It is nice to know such companies actually still exist! Outcome: Read more on the website of the process - the drives have to be matched like for like. My first rebuild destroyed the donor heads due to the scratch on the platters (interestingly the heads can dive into the platters on power loss, something which happens every week where I live - the NAS will be supplied from a UPS - thanks for the advice Andy!). The file list I received had 10’s of thousands of fragments, however, I could see the main file structure of my drive i.e. proof these guys had actually done something and not just asked for money like other companies without ever plugging it in. It took a second, targeted rebuild where Andy’s team really cranked up the wizardry, they switch off the heads from the sound platters (x 4 in my case) that were fully recovered in the first rebuild and targeted the damaged platters (x 2 in my case). By doing this, they can sweep the data on each side of the scratch to avoid damaging the new heads. Their custom software rebuilds the full image. The scratch made it impossible to get 100% of the data however Andy’s team recovered every single video file (some of these files are >100 GB each!) and had only one file which was missing a tiny amount of information that affected a few frames in the video file i.e recovered 99.99% of the data - the file plays! I can edit out the damaged frames). I am seriously impressed that they managed to do this!!! Cost? I wanted to post the cost of my recovery but it does not mean anything. The real question is - what is your data worth? A dead drive backed up elsewhere - bin it. Kids' childhood memories - priceless. What you have to bear in mind is that you are paying for the best data recovery service in the world. If your data is priceless, then be prepared to pay for forensic level service. This is where the people who can’t accept that they are idiots start to create problems. Conclusion: The ONLY company I will use and recommend to friends and employers for data recovery. Recovered every single file in my project. I can now continue editing my full project without any loss except a few frames in one video file (compare that result to Fields saying that they cannot recover any data at all after taking your hard-earned cash! - If you are a victim, Andy can not only recover your data but also your cash). If you are very knowledgeable / IT-based, don’t hesitate to get the level of confidence you need from Andy directly, an absolute gem of a guy and why I took so long to write this review. If you are an idiot and cannot accept responsibility for anything, then don’t bother contacting R3 - create your problems elsewhere. If you are ready to proceed, seriously consider what your data is really worth to you and how much you are willing to pay for the best, forensic-level service in the world. I seriously recommend R3 to anyone or any company who needs help and is realistic with the cost of their data. Disclaimer: Each case is individual. I assumed my drive would be fixed in one rebuild i.e. head failure only and did not expect any scratched platters - not all drives will be scratched for example. It took 2 rebuilds in the end but some cases can take more depending on the nature of the damage. Andy and his team will be able to develop a quote after analysing the drive in the lab.”

Many thanks for the review. The Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001 had suffered multiple power disconnects whilst in use in a country with an irregular power supply distribution system that added up to two surfaces out of the 6 sufficiently scratched to cause the first donor heads to fail. Although the first rebuild was technically successful in that it enabled the file system to be saved and reading of 4 of the surfaces, it was anticipated that it could take up to 2 additional donors and rebuilds to get a full recovery. One of the issues was that there were only 92 files in total accounting for around 75% of the capacity of the drive. ****************************************************************************** Folders - 43 Files - 92 ( 2147.05 Gb) Normal Files - 91 Problem Files - 1 ****************************************************************************** The recovery of all files needed was made more difficult by their size and the scratches affecting some sectors belonging to most of the files, by careful control of an additional donor it was possible to get all sectors needed except the few that had been rendered unrecoverable by the most severe scratches. Whilst a third rebuild was discussed R3 engineers were able to achieve the fullest possible recovery without the need of spending any more than was necessary. It was interesting to hear your experince of Fields Data Recovery / Data Recovery Services aka Data Recovery Specialists all are fronts for Fields Associates who have a history of fake reviews, hacked reviewer accounts, fake review websites and a fake comparison website.

“Can the victims get their money back? Yes. If you have been the victim of an unregulated binary options scam or any scam at all then you are 100% eligible according to the law to recover what was stolen from you. With the right approach and evidence of the fraud you were a victim of, you can recover back your Bitcoin. Those behind the binary options scam want to sell the idea that what happened to you was an ‘unfortunate investment’ when in reality what happened to you was theft via an elaborate scheme. If you are a victim like I was or know a family member or friend who is a victim of binary options fraud, you should speak to a financial fraud recovery expert – it is not too late to recover your money.

“Be nice and don’t ignore. Glory be to almighty God, who made me recover my fundz and my life after I met a woman on Discord who claimed she was an investment specialist and made me send her $3,000a few days after we started communicating. I lost a lot more than that the next day after she mysteriously got access to my retirement account, she made away with everything. The pain was unbearable. God Willing i met an old classmate at the local bus station who introduced me to a recovery person. We started the recovery 4 days later. It took less than 48 hours to receive the funds in my personal account. Only obstacle we encountered was viruss issue which he worked on and we were perfectly back on track. My friends, if you know anyone in such a situation or you yourself, kindly reach out to the same agency who did mine, you will not be disappointed, it is very convenient. this is their contact below, EMAIL: (dorisashley71 (@) gmail com) Whatsapp and xell : +1--(404)--721---56--08 I Love You all.”

“Relieved to have the data back and the iPad apparently working. Early communication could have been more efficient but generally was ok. Greater clarity of file type - I expected something that could feed into Word or into my IPad. I was unaware that I needed another app to access the data.”

“My hard drive full of every family photo for the last 20 years died. It also contained every document I had saved in that time. A hard drive full of very sentimental files such as photos of my children being born. Devastated at the prospect of losing all of this data, I set about finding a recovery service. So many providers had patchy reviews and didn't look legit until I came across R3. The service was very smooth and 99.9% of my data was recovered. Just 12 files could not be recovered out of 77,000!”

“Data was scrambled across thousands of files”

Thank you for the review Joe and unfortunately with data recovery and failed devices not every case can be perfect. Much of the folder structure was recovered as subfolders - the TLD top level structure was damaged as a result of the failure. The recovery of the file names and most folder structure was a very good result in the circumstances.

“Absolutely brilliant and bona fide company that does what is says in its company title. How important is your lost data to you??? Well if it means as much as it does to me and you are stupid enough to not have those back ups in place, then do not complain about the costs to recover them. Relatively speaking, was quite cheap considering there was 25 years worth of data recovered. I used my credit card on this failure on my part, but don't regret a single pound spent. Will and his team recovered the data from an old Linux system drive and put it onto a brand new one terabyte external hard drive for me ready to run under Windows. To all persons who need a reputable company and are trawling through various Google searches, this is the real deal and actually do their recovery on site. Hopefully you will never need to be in this situation, but if you do give them a call. Great interaction and regular updates throughout the process. Many thanks to all at R3 Data Recovery. John C.”

Thank you so much for your 5 star rating for R3 Data Recovery! We're so glad that you felt it was value for money even if an unwanted expense ! The TeamGroup 512GB SSD had severely degraded and required extensive processing to maximise the quality of the data. It was not possible to get a full 100% recovery but it was close Here are the stats !problem: 6.03GB (2162 files) rest of data: 133.03GB (40428 files) So by files 94.6 % or by GB 95.5% all sent back on a password protected portable drive.
