A few write-ups from the South Gyle bench this past while — identifying details held back, every result verified before it left the lab.
The heads had stopped flying and the drive sat silent. Matched donor heads went in under clean-air conditions, a careful image was pulled past the fault, and the file tree was rebuilt from the copy rather than the ailing original.
We cloned the card forensically before anything touched it directly, then rebuilt the file system on the copy with a deep carve running behind it for anything the fault had orphaned. Every frame came back.
Both drives were imaged past their bad sectors, the array reassembled virtually from whichever image held the healthiest copy of each region, and the file system repaired on top. The shared drive came back whole.
A lot of recovery firms quietly hand your drive to a third-party lab or subcontractor. That never happens here — every recovery is worked from first look to final handover by our own engineers, under one secure chain of custody, and your media is never sold on or passed to an outside company.
Every job stays with our own team — never handed to a subcontractor or third-party lab.
Your drive is tracked from drop-off to return — logged, handled only by our own staff, and never sold on or outsourced.
Registered with the ICO (No. ZC173784) and fully GDPR-compliant, with an NDA available whenever you need one.
A seized desktop drive. A NAS caught mid-rebuild. A snapped USB stick. A ransom note on a server. However it reached you, our data recovery services usually reach it the same way — imaged first, worked in-house — and it usually goes home again.
There’s no call-centre here and no third-party lab — just an Edinburgh data recovery service staffed by our own engineers, twenty-five years at the bench, and the equipment and patience to take on the cases other firms hand back.
On the majority of jobs nothing is owed unless we recover — and you see a full file listing to check before you commit a penny.
Your drive is opened and imaged by our own engineers — never subcontracted to a third party.
A no-obligation diagnostic and a fixed price in writing before anything begins, so nothing on the invoice is a surprise.
