“Excellent service in every respect. I cannot speak highly enough of the team, everything they did to recover my data, and the speed and efficiency which with they sprang into operation and recovered 97% of the pictures on my memory card. Great telephone support and updates on progress by email as the job was under way. They are all stars!”

Hi Nita Many thanks for the review, although one of the smaller recoveries at 1.2GB of data, it was bad sectors and corruption to the file system which had prevented access to the data. Glad we could be of service Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery

“Had a bad experience with a separate company, R3 Data saved my music video! No messing around. Honest, affordable fast and reliable.”

? Many thanks for the review, It was unfortunate for you that just because a large company gives a cheap price does not mean they intend to deliver on it. Your SanDisk Extreme Pro was successfully recovered by R3 at the price quoted at the outset. Even though our competitor quoted a cheap data recovery price of £97 or £99 in reality the actual price asked is 3 times what we quote at the outset, in this case we quoted £149+vat as of mid 2016. The R3 Team are building on their class leading success rates, hard work and willingness to help those affected by data loss across the UK and Europe. Andy Butler Operations manager at R3 DR - The Data Recovery Hospital

“My external hard drive failed and I stupidly had no back-up, all my clients work, created over the past 18 months was potentially lost forever! In blind panic I called R3. One of the team calmly talked me through what had probably happened to the disc and proceeded to send a courier to collect my disc and then go on to retrieve ALL my files and send a replacement hard drive by courier. All within 4 working days. These guys literally saved my skin!”

Many thanks for the Review Rachael Our technical expertise and the capacity of the lab does mean we can often turnaround tasks faster than the quoted service level. The lab is geared for handling hundreds of cases every month and capable of handling influxes of work dues to fire, flood or earthquakes ! Most cases can be handled within 24 hours of arrival, even for jobs which would have once taken a few weeks 10 years ago, however other cases that do take longer would have in the past been declared unrecoverable because of the time it would take. We remain committed to the very highest of success rates which has enabled us to offer more consumers access to a world class business level service for low cost. Andy and the tea at R3 Data Recovery

“Very quick and friendly service and data fully recovered.”

Hi David Many thanks for the review. Your 500GB Seagate ST3500418AS had obviously worked well for several years but succumbed to a power surge. Luckily the computer repair technician realised not to attempt anything himself. All the best Andy and the Team at R3 Data Recovery

“Made contacted with me on a bank holiday and spent time prior to commission to explain the issues, options and process. Impeccable service following commissioning.”

Hi Alistair Your Western Digital WD10JMVW-11AJGS1 1TB drive had suffered from bad sectors possibly as a result of a power fluctuation. It was fully recovered on the budget service. Many thanks for the review Andy and the Team at R3 Data Recovery

“The speed of service and the result was excellent from start to finish. I was reluctant to send my data to a company I choose on the web, my worries were unfounded and the results saved me hours trying to reproduce my lost data.”

Hi Paul Your unbranded 8GB stick had a number of faults common to failed flash memory which fail. In reality NAND chips should be regarded as temporary data transfer devices rather than places to backup data to. That said we were able to complete the recovery 100% and just 105.4MB of Microsoft Documents sent by secure download. The price quoted at the outset can seem expensive relative to the few pound or even freebie memory stick value, but the time and resources of our engineering capabilities and safe / secure service is cost effective. Again thanks for the review Andy and the Team at R3 Data Recovery

“Hi Andy, I would like to thank you for recovering my lost data! I have always appreciate your dedication and availability even on a Sunday afternoon! And even if I did not give you to much chance you have successfully recover all my data! To be honest, I hope to not be in business with you anymore but I know that when it will be necessary (and it will be!) you will be there to help me and my business! Thank you!”

Many thanks for taking time to leave a review Radu. I am glad the team could help you in your hour of need and of course hopefully you will never need us again. A little like a dentist of hospital operation, data recovery is often unplanned and an unexpected cost in terms of money, time and inconvenience. We do out best to mitigate this. The Security House lab is a real data recovery Hospital. Its engineers are the best in Europe and our support staff and sales and customer services are being developed to help with our growing reach and success rates. Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery

Hi Robert thank you for the review, we don't see many of those Western Digital 640GB drives but when we do we have the highest success rates. Glad we could be of service Andy and the Team at R3 Data Recovery

“Collected the hard drive as agreed. Contacted me promptly as they needed a donor part which they did not have in stock at up front cost of £240 - then no contact until I contacted them for an update, very next day they call to say the drive in unrecoverable. Paid £240 and no data recovered.”

Dear Andy We processed your case after explaining that it was a donor killer, I am sorry but your situation requires that multiple donors and rebuilds will be needed to stand a chance of recovering any data. We undertook the work the strip down of the donor and rebuilds of your drive on the understanding you paid for the parts. Unfortunately it was not successful. I am sorry you felt the need to leave a negative review, but you are welcome to visit the lab and inspect your drive in our cleanroom yourself. We can show you why your case will need extended rebuild attempts. We are here to help and we are one of the very best teams of engineers in the country. The process flow of the lab is geared to emergencies and is only held up looking for donors. We are investing in the development of one of the largest donor hard drive stocks held by any data recovery lab in the UK Andy and the Team at R3 Data Recovery andy@r3datarecovery.com

“Whilst the data on my disk was not easily recoverable, R3 were clear about the potential further work that could be taken, and the costs. As the disk content was not critical I declined; they thus lost on the deal. I'd not hesitate to use the service in the future”

Hi Sam I am sorry we could not help in your case, there were two factors, failed heads and some platter damage and worse a relatively rare version of a Western Digital WD20EARX-00MMMB0 Although we have dozens of similar models in stock, the correct revision could only be found on eBay at the time it is was needed and the sellers had also realised it was a low production run version which will take time to come into the data recovery parts system. Obviously in the future get in touch if you decide the data is worth recovering. Andy and the team at R3 Data Recovery Ltd

“I suppose there will always be some data that is not recoverable, however.......we had our money back as the data recovered was unusable and the files could not be opened, let alone used. So my experience is a distinctly poor one!”

Many thanks for the review Martin It does help to identify situations where even the very best data recovery engineers and service can fall foul of a situation which is a truly terrible situation for you- Namely overwriting your business critical data and not backing up emails. I am sorry you did not recognise our attempts to assist and that our company did the work free of charge trying to help you. When speaking to the customer he was not fully sure whether or not he had written over the data on the internal hard drive. data seemed to be lost after upgrading to windows 10. we had told them that if they have accidently wrote over the old data then we may not be able to get it back so that they are aware but told them to send in for the free assessment anyway. A recovery was undertaken and it produced a quality of just 47.12% 12.7GB which was accepted. The client accepted the file list and paid the invoice and testing the data himself then complaining that the results were not good enough when we had already advised that it was a low quality result. Sadly we cannot help everyone and we are also distinctly saddened that even in our trying to help, only the negative aspect of the result is focused on. We remain positive and will continue to help everyone in their hour of need. Andy and the Team at R3 Data Recovery Ltd Delete

“Data was recovered with no issues, but communication was very bad and would think twice before returning.”

Dear Badr Your original contact was in Early 2015 and at that time we gave an accurate cost of recovery which we stuck to almost a year later in 2016. Your QNAP RAID 5 failed with 3.7TB of data due to 2 failed Disks. We were successful in recovering over 99% of the 3.7TB in perfect condition at the price quoted from the outset. Any communications issues with International transport and customs is regrettable and an aspect of the company which we are working on continually to match our unrivalled cost effective data recovery success rates. Thank you for taking time to leave a genuine review. Andy and the Team at R3 Data Recovery

Many thanks for the review, Your WD 2TB Green had suffered damage which included broken PCB and power connector fractures. Our Electronics specialists correctly matched and reprogrammed a donor PCB with information from your PCB to enable proper communication with the heads. A successful recovery was then transferred to a new drive. Many thanks for the review of R3 Data Recovery - The UKs main independent data recovery lab. Andy and the team at R3

“I run a small IT support company in London and I have had several clients who have needed professional data recovery. When I first approached R3 data recovery I had a portable hard drive that wouldn’t start up. I called up and spoke with Andy, who was extremely helpful. He went through all options and possible outcomes with me. He then arranged a courier to pick up the hard drive. A few days later I got an email with the file list everything that could be recovered and the recovery price, asking me if I would like to go ahead. I did, and everything came back by courier well packaged, in full working order, on a new hard drive as promised! I have since used R3 data recovery on many occasions, and have worked with many of their team – all who were very helpful and professional. They have always catered to my specific needs. So far I have sent in all sorts of hard drives, SSD Drives, USB Drives, Memory Cards, Overwritten CCTV footage, and have always gotten dedicated attention however big or small the job has been. I would fully recommend R3 data recovery. I have always had high quality results, dedicated support, fast turnover time, reasonable prices, and of course they always manage to save the day! A very happy customer!”

Many thanks for the review. Those 128GB SanDisk memory sticks can be problematic to recover. Despite being declared unrecoverable our data recovery engineers are geared for giving the very best chances of a successful recovery at the price quoted at the outset.

Glad we could be of service. When a memory stick asks to be formatted it is often a controller fault or corruption of the file system, this can also be as a result of bad sectors. Once we had gained access to the memory and created an image all data was recovered successfully. The file list and integrity report showed over 99% of the data was intact and even the few damaged pictures were editable. These were all returned by secure download. Many thanks for the review Andy Butler and the Team at R3 Data Recovery Andy

“Irrespective of how effective you are at backing up your sensitive data, when your backup needs backing up and everything fails - R3 Data are there to help! The fast track service that I used ensured that 100% of my data, especially irreplaceable family photos, were backed up and copied to a new external hard drive device. I trust R3 implicitly with my data. Not only are they highly competent, but I found them to be quite personable and understood my situation. I would highly recommend them to anyone who experiences the same levels of anxiety when they think they've lost all their data!”

We do our best to meet the needs and expectations of every client. Losing data for some can be financially disastrous or emotionally distressing or both. The entire R3 Data Recovery operation acts as a full data recovery Hospital, working 7 days per week handling many thousands of communications and hundreds of successful recovery engagements. Our success rates are the best of British and we are Internationally recognised as one of the best teams of data recovery engineers assembled in Europe.
