How to get your data in 5 easy steps
Unlike most companies, our initial evaluation process is completely free and with no strings attached. Upon receiving your device in our secured facilities, we will commence a full examination of the drive.
Upon completion, we will provide you with a technical summary outlining the cause of the problem, estimated turnaround time, chances of successful recovery and the best possible quote to get your data recovered.
Once the evaluation is complete, our team will reach you by email and/or phone to discuss the next steps.
Our success rate is 96% across more than 10,000 recoveries. Success depends on the device type, the nature of the failure, and how much the drive was used after the failure. With our no-data-no-fee guarantee, you pay nothing if we cannot recover your files.
Most standard recoveries are completed in 5 to 10 business days. We provide a free evaluation within 48 hours of receiving your drive, with a clear turnaround estimate before we begin. Emergency 24-48-hour service is available for urgent cases.
Yes. Our main cleanroom lab is in Langley, BC, with drop-off locations in Vancouver and Burnaby. All recovery work is performed in-house in Langley by Canadian technicians. Your drive and your data never leave Canada, which matters for privacy, legal, and chain-of-custody reasons.
Yes. A clicking sound almost always means the read/write heads have failed and are striking the platters. Do not power on the drive again, as repeated clicks cause permanent platter damage. Ship the drive to us as-is. We open it in our cleanroom, replace the head assembly with a donor drive, and clone the data.
Absolutely. Every recovery is covered by a strict confidentiality agreement. Your data is handled by Canadian technicians in our BC lab and is returned to you on encrypted media. We follow industry-standard chain-of-custody protocols.
Yes. External hard drives are one of the most common devices we recover. We handle Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, LaCie, Buffalo, and all major brands. External drive failures usually fall into two categories: USB or interface board damage (often a quick fix), or internal drive mechanical failure (cleanroom work). Both are recoverable in most cases.
Yes, SSDs can be recovered, though the process is different. SSD recovery often requires chip-level work: reading the NAND flash chips directly and reassembling the data using the controller’s firmware logic. It can be more complex than HDD recovery because SSDs use wear-leveling and TRIM, but our lab has the tools and expertise to handle most SSD failures including controller faults and firmware corruption.
Yes, in most cases. “Dead” hard drives are usually mechanical failures: failed read/write heads, seized spindles, or damaged platters. Our cleanroom lab in Langley, BC can open and repair the drive long enough to clone the data. Drives that won’t spin up, won’t be detected, or make grinding noises are recoverable in the majority of cases.
