Just a message to say thank you so much for all the help you and your team have done to recover the photos from my wife's Corrupted sd card. She is so happy they're not lost forever. From start to finish your service has been 5stars

Andrew

Recovered most of data very helpful explained process when we visited had a very interesting tour and an insight into a different world nothing was too much trouble and would use again and recommend very honest company

Mrs Whiston
Middlesbrough, United Kingdom

Great Reliable Service! Recovered 95% of my data in a Lab Recovery. I was very pleased with the communication and overall experience.

Sara
Birmingham, United States

R3 Data Recovery literally saved me. All data lost, and my current IT company couldn't help. They put me in contact with R3 Data Recovery, the next day they sent for the drive, and it took around 1 week to recover everything. They then sent it straight back and everything/all files was exactly how I had them before I had lost them. HUGE Relief, and extremely lovely friendly staff that put me at ease. DEFINIETLY recommend!!

Emma
Beverley, United Kingdom

These guys were really professional and straight forward. Highly recommend their service if you have old hard drives that you think have died and need resurrecting

Jake
London, United Kingdom

Ahemed

Saved my life! Thank you so much 😁

Hannah
Sheffield, United Kingdom

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. What absolutely legends they are. Not only did they recover all of my data from an completely dead hard drive which literally saved my business, but they also had all of the work (5TB) back to me within 6 days, literally driven to my door. They worked tirelessly day and night not leaving my drive and Andy was on hand no matter what the time to answer any of my questions, and calm me down when in tears and panicking. Much more than data recovery but in short, these are the people you need to go to if you have any hard drive issues - do not go to the manufacturers, you may end up with a new drive but no data!

Nicola
United Kingdom

The service provided was very good

Philip
Woldingham, United Kingdom

Very fast and effective service

Gary
United Kingdom

Could not have been more helpful. From the initial phone conversation with Andy, to the regular updates from Will, a thoroughly professional service, to say nothing of a successful outcome.
