What should I do if my hard drive starts clicking?

Turn it off immediately! Continued operation of a clicking drive can cause permanent physical damage to the platters, making data recovery impossible. Bring it to us for professional evaluation.

Can you recover files I accidentally deleted?

In most cases, yes. When files are deleted, the data often remains on the drive until it is overwritten by new data. Stop using the computer immediately to increase the chances of successful recovery.

Do you offer clean room data recovery?

We handle logical and minor physical recovery in-house. For severe mechanical failures requiring a dust-free environment, we partner with industry-leading clean room labs like DriveSavers to get your data back safely.

What We Recover

We work with a wide range of devices and storage media.

Hard Drives & SSDs

We recover data from clicking hard drives, failed motors, and corrupted SSDs. Whether it's a desktop, laptop, or external drive, we have the tools to retrieve your files.

RAID & Servers

RAID arrays are not immune to failure. We can reconstruct data from failed RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 arrays found in business servers and NAS devices.

USB & Flash Drives

Broken USB connector? Accidental format? We can recover photos and documents from thumb drives and portable external hard drives.

Mac & Apple Devices

Macs use different file systems (APFS, HFS+), but we speak their language. We recover data from iMacs, MacBooks, and external drives formatted for Apple devices.

Camera Cards

Accidentally deleted your wedding photos or vacation video? We can often recover images from SD, MicroSD, and CF cards even after they have been formatted.

Advanced Lab Recovery

For drives with severe physical damage requiring a clean room (e.g., dust-free environment), we partner with DriveSavers to ensure the highest possible success rate.

Common Data Loss Symptoms

If you experience any of these, shut down the computer immediately.

Clicking or Grinding

Mechanical noises usually indicate a physical head failure. Continuing to run the drive can scratch the platters and destroy data permanently.

Accidental Deletion

Deleted files often remain on the drive until overwritten. Avoid saving anything new to the computer and bring it in for recovery.

Drive Not Detected

If your computer no longer sees the drive, or if it asks you to "Format" the disk when you plug it in, do NOT format it. We can often bypass these errors to read the data.

Data Recovery is Time-Sensitive

The longer a failing drive runs, the more damage occurs. Don't try "free" recovery software on a physically failing drive.
