What does a file recovery service include?
DIY-ing your data recovery is risky. Accidental overwrites, formatting and further damage to the device makes data recovery especially difficult. (And possibly more expensive.) The first step: get your device in the hands of an IT expert. Here are some of the devices and common problems your data recovery expert can help with:
Hard disk drives (HDD)
Hard drives are prone to physical damage and system errors. Whether it’s an external hard drive or the one inside your computer, the internal moving parts mean over time they wear out and degrade in performance. Hearing clicking or whirring noises? There could be physical damage, so your data recovery expert will use a precision screwdriver to repair the motor and hard drive heads. Seeing error messages or experiencing power problems? A system fault or virus may need fixing. Your techie might first try installing recovery software onto your computer. Or they could remove the actual hard drive from the case or computer and use a SAS/SATA to USB adapter to access and recover your files that way.
USB memory sticks
When your flash drive stops working or isn’t recognised by your computer (even when you’ve given it a wiggle) the problem could be faulty connectors, a bad computer USB port or something more serious like a virus. To recover your files, your data recovery technician will first test the memory stick by plugging it into a different computer or USB port. If this doesn’t work, they may use small screwdrivers and pliers to straighten out the connectors. If the damage isn’t physical, checks are made to identify a reason for corruption. This often involves recovery software, which can also help with deleted file recovery if anything has gone walkabout.
Solid-state drives (SSD)
SSD file recovery isn’t easy, because it relies on electrical components to save and retrieve data. When these go bad, it’s very difficult to recover files. But not impossible. Your data recovery expert will ensure a technology called TRIM isn’t enabled. To do this, they will use special recovery software and commands for SSD devices. If they can’t recover your files this way, your drive is sent to a forensic data recovery lab for further investigation, restoration, and data extraction. Be aware, though - this can be expensive.
Phone and smart devices
Need to retrieve messages, photos, numbers, and videos from your phone’s internal memory? Depending on the type of damage your phone has suffered, it may be salvageable. If your phone still switches on, your IT expert will first try downloading specific apps for data recovery. If this isn’t an option, they’ll plug your phone or device into a computer via USB for further debugging and file extraction.  Â

Taylors Lakes VIC 3038, Australia

I need data from an external hard drive (Western Digital SE Elements 1TB) recovered urgently. It contains important music projects and business documents that are needed tomorrow. I already own a new SSD (Samsung t7 1TB) for documents to be transferred to. I'm available to have this service done at the soonest time possible. After running some tests myself I believe it is a mechanical failure. The drive had 0 issues until it was dropped from knee height onto carpet. When plugged into a computer it is recognised but does not show up on windows explorer. In disk manager it shows a drive that needs to be initialised. Using a WD drive program I was able to find out that the drive fails a SMART analysis and shows 0mb of storage. The cable has been swapped and issues still persist. - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 29 June 2023

Hi Helen, I don't know what is happening with my account but I want to retrieve my data off a 1TB external hard drive with MAC formatting. The most important thing to me is the photos. I have had Jim's IT look at it and they tried 7-8 different software programs and couldn't get the data off so recommended that I try Payam. The power goes to the hard drive and it clicks as if it wants to load something. I am in Melton West and not very far from your location at all. Please HELP!
