Very helpful, informative and genuine. My hard drive corrupted and almost all Of the files were saved. I can’t thank the team enough!
Good service
Very fast and effective service
Fantastic service when you find yourself in a dark place, they assisted quick efficient and without any hidden agenda ss other were trying to peddle, they saved my skin and is the first place I will go to if I find myself in this position again
Excellent service both in recovering data and after sales service. Frankly the price for the service is irrelevant when faced with loss of essential data. Delivery was prompt and efficient.
Excellent service. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Would have been 10 but very bad service from Parcelforce .
Fantastic service and could not be more pleased with the results. They managed to recover precious photos of my son from my phone which I thought were lost forever. Could not be happier!
Efficient-Rapid-Sucessful! I don't know how bad my external hard drive was but I know I needed the data recovered. I tried a local company and they were no help at all. These guys had the job sussed in a matter of days and a cost-effective proposal that suited me perfectly. Once agreed, the job was completed quickly and I'm back in touch with all my data. Thanks very much!
Relieved to have the data back and the iPad apparently working. Early communication could have been more efficient but generally was ok. Greater clarity of file type - I expected something that could feed into Word or into my IPad. I was unaware that I needed another app to access the data.
Excellent company to deal with. Highly professional and patient and no pressure to get the files. The only company to do it. All other ones are scams.
Absolutely brilliant and bona fide company that does what is says in its company title. How important is your lost data to you??? Well if it means as much as it does to me and you are stupid enough to not have those back ups in place, then do not complain about the costs to recover them. Relatively speaking, was quite cheap considering there was 25 years worth of data recovered. I used my credit card on this failure on my part, but don't regret a single pound spent. Will and his team recovered the data from an old Linux system drive and put it onto a brand new one terabyte external hard drive for me ready to run under Windows. To all persons who need a reputable company and are trawling through various Google searches, this is the real deal and actually do their recovery on site. Hopefully you will never need to be in this situation, but if you do give them a call. Great interaction and regular updates throughout the process. Many thanks to all at R3 Data Recovery. John C.
Amazing Service, spoke to the MD. He explained the process involved with the data recovery. Certainly much cheaper than other data recovery services I have used in the past and customer service is far better. The turnaround was quick too. I highly recommend R3 Data Recovery
