The Data Recovery Process
Once you are aware there is a problem with your hard drive you should get professional help immediately . The more you try to fix the device the greater the chance you are causing more damage and this is especially true if you try and open up your hard drive as this can make data recovery impossible. The best thing you can do is resist the urge to play with the drive and call Data Recovery Perth straight away.
Using our specialized data recovery tools we will diagnose the problem. Once we know what the problem is, we will send you a quote. This will give you an exact cost for recovering the contents of your storage device.
It can matter what system is on the drive
Similarly it is important when recovering data due to accidental file deletion or reformats that the person recovering data has a deep understanding of the file systems that are used on storage devices. Knowledge of fat32 as well as HFS on Mac , NTFS on Windows and EXT4 Linux systems. We at Data Recovery Perth do know the differing file systems that exist and how they work but you should check that is the case with your data recovery provider.
We can work on any make of drive
The knowledge required to recover data from different hard drive types such as Western Digital, Seagate , Toshiba etc can change from drive make and model and you should ensure that the person recovering your data understands this. At Data Recovery Perth we are familiar with all drive makes and models.
As previously mentioned data recovery is actually the process of repairing the drive and then retrieving the data. How the device has failed will determine the cost of recovery.

About Us
We Are Data Recovery Experts
There are many companies that advertise they perform Data Recovery however very few have the requisite skills. I know this as I have had clients shop around until they can see that person has the equipment and skills required. This means They will need specialized hard drive diagnostic equipment I use Dolphin Data Labs tools. They will need soldering equipment and a hot airflow rework station. They will need specialised recovery software such as R-Studio.
We do not charge to Quote
Many companies charge to quote and while I fully understand why they do this we don not charge.
No Fee if your data is not Recovered
We only charge if your data is successfully recovered. This is true even if we have to attempt swapping heads on the problem drive.
