Hard drives, SSDs, RAID and memory cards — recovered for Aberdeen, the North-East and across Scotland.
A drive that has started clicking. An SSD that vanished from the machine overnight. A RAID that fell over halfway through a rebuild. A card reading empty where the photographs were. All of it is routine here, and most of it comes back. Asking costs nothing. The number is fixed in writing before a case is opened.
Nearly every job runs the same road. Send the drive in. Get told what is recoverable and what the number is. Decide in your own time. The answer costs nothing either way.
Free diagnosis, fixed quote. One written figure, agreed before work starts. Every band is listed on the data recovery cost page.
A snapped USB stick earns the same bench hours here as a forty-drive SAN. Diagnose first, then one service that handles deleted, damaged and flat-dead media, HDD and SSD alike. Pick a device below, or phone and describe it plainly. You are speaking to data recovery specialists rather than a call handler with a script in front of him.

Tracked, insured post reaches the lab next working day. Or drive it: 130 miles, two and a half hours down the A90.
Two working days on the bench, then you have the fault, the honest odds and one fixed price.
Say the word and everything recovered returns to you on encrypted media.
Nearly everything on this bench came by tracked, insured post. It is the safest way to shift a failing drive, and a parcel handed in at a North-East post office is usually here the next working day.
Still bolted into a laptop, desktop, MacBook, iMac, server or CCTV / DVR box? Get the hard drive or SSD out first. The bare drive travels on its own. Stripping machines down is not a job this lab takes on. Flash soldered to a motherboard, as on Apple Silicon Macs and a couple of very thin laptops, is our one flat no: if it will not unbolt, it cannot be worked on.

Address it for the attention of Edinburgh Data Recovery. From Aberdeen that is roughly 130 miles and two and a half hours down the A90, or next working day by tracked post if you would rather not make the run. You get a call the moment it is booked onto the bench.

"Portable Seagate off the worktop onto a tiled floor, eleven years of photographs on it. Clicking away when it went in the post on the Monday. By Thursday they had told me the lot was coming back. No fuss and no sales patter."
Alexia C · Portlethen"Our practice server dropped a second disk during a rebuild and the IT company stopped returning calls. All four drives were copied and nine years of records handed back. Straight answers from the first call onwards."
Blair M · Inverness"USB stick snapped off inside the laptop with my dissertation on it. Sensible answers on the phone, connector rebuilt, everything back on a new stick with photos of the work. Cost exactly what they quoted."
Stevie H · WesthillFrom the city out to Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Elgin, Inverurie, Stonehaven and Montrose, this is the data recovery Aberdeen households and firms come back to, and the hard drive recovery Aberdeen offices ring when a server stops. Everything moves by tracked next-day post, so data recovery Scotland wide is the same service at the same price, whether the parcel starts in Inverness, Elgin or Montrose. It runs UK wide as well: a drive posted from Cornwall or Cumbria is handled exactly like one from Dyce. Firm at a standstill? There is a plain guide to disaster recovery for Aberdeen businesses on the blog.
