Data recovery in Dublin — deleted files and failing drives

Deleted the wrong folder, or the drive suddenly isn't recognised? Stop using the device — every minute it stays powered on reduces what can be recovered. I do software and logical-level recovery, and I'll tell you straight away if a case needs a cleanroom lab instead.

Price range
€80 – €250 depending on drive size and damage (assessment free)
Turnaround
1–3 days depending on drive size
Warranty
6 months on parts

Signs you have this problem

  • Files or folders deleted by accident and gone from the bin
  • Drive asks to be formatted, or shows as RAW / empty
  • Clicking, beeping or grinding noises from an external drive
  • Photos missing from an SD card or phone backup folder
  • Windows won't boot and you need the data off the disk

What usually causes it

  • Accidental deletion, quick format or partition table damage
  • Failing sectors on an ageing mechanical hard drive
  • SSD controller failure or sudden power loss during a write
  • Corruption after a failed OS update
  • Physical damage from a drop or liquid spill

What I do

  • Free assessment before any cost is agreed
  • Sector-by-sector imaging so the original drive isn't stressed further
  • Recovery of deleted files, lost partitions and corrupt file systems
  • SSD, HDD, USB stick and memory card recovery
  • Recovered data returned on a drive you keep, with a backup plan

Common questions

Can you guarantee recovery?

No honest technician can. I assess first and tell you what's realistically recoverable before you commit — if I can't get your data, you don't pay.

What if the drive is physically broken?

I handle software and logical-level recovery. Cases needing a cleanroom get referred rather than risked — I'll say so upfront.
