Fantastic people to deal with Totally honesty Kept me informed throughout the process, would have no hesitation in recommending them Martin C
These guys managed to save several years of professional work from a Drobo RAID system. Fast, efficient, calm service. Expensive but effective.
The R3 Data Recovery team are outstanding in every way, going above and beyond in all areas. Communication was great, making time outside of working hours to explain the situation and their plans. They worked tirelessly to get a positive outcome and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs their help.
Spoke to Andy on Friday afternoon after all the files on my hdd were not accessible, he calmed me down and I dropped the disc in around tea time, Paul took a look and told me how the disc had failed and confirmed it should be possible to recover most if not all the data, and they would drop straight onto it. I received a list of recoverable files on Monday, paid the invoice which was actually slightly less than I was expecting and Tuesday lunchtime was able to collect the recovered data on a new hdd. Great service, reasonable costs and all my data was saved. Definitely recommend R3.
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.
expensive but value for money
R3 Data Recovery literally saved me. I had lost hope that I would recover a lifetime of memories and they performed a miracle! I shall be forever grateful. Many thanks and highly recommended!
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.
Great service, very helpful and honest. Got all my data back with regular updates and great communication. While princely it is definitely value for money - saved hours of work and worry
Great service. Picked up same day. Didn’t get my videos but got most of my photos. Thanks
Superb service from R3 Data Recovery. Having stupidly deleted an external drive of all my files I called and Andy was of invaluable help. He went through different options and advised me on the one that would probably be the best for the issue I had. 24 hours later I have all of my data back where it should be. Cannot recommend highly enough.
One of the most expert professional, efficient, trustworthy and caring businesses I have ever experienced. Andy is calm and reassuring to help one deal with the panic of data loss. The successful and quick data recovery performed on my broken USB stick was a miraculous result!
