Failed hard drives, SSDs, corrupted partitions, and accidental formatting. We tell you the real odds before we start, and we don't charge for a recovery we don't believe will work.
The most recoverable case — as long as you stop using the drive as soon as you notice, before anything writes over the deleted data.
A clicking hard drive usually means physical head or platter damage — we assess this honestly rather than guaranteeing a result.
The file system table is damaged but the data underneath is often intact — recoverable in most cases.
SSD failures are different from HDDs — often firmware or controller related, and time-sensitive since some failure modes worsen with continued power cycles.
Power it off immediately, don't try to charge or turn it on, and bring it in as soon as possible — this alone determines how much can be saved.
We work on a copy of the affected drive, never the original, so a recovery attempt can't make things worse.
Chain of custody, forensic imaging, and a written report of what was and wasn't recovered.
