Case Study: Hard Drive Data Recovery

Introduction

It’s always easiest to explain and demonstrate the issues involved in data recovery by looking at a real-life example of our work. Here, you’ll see what’s involved in a typical case, how we differ from typical “guy in bedroom/small shop” data recovery services, why we charge a little more than them- and why we’re more than worth it!

This particular case started with a customer bringing a faulty external hard drive to us. The problem was very simple- the drive wasn’t being detected by the OS (in this case, Windows) at all and the data was important to the customer.
