Every review below comes from a real customer who trusted R3 with their data. These stories reflect real challenges, real recoveries, and the work our engineers do every day.
Very helpful, informative and genuine. My hard drive corrupted and almost all Of the files were saved. I can’t thank the team enough!
Excellent service very polite and helpful staff. Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs help.
Thank you SO much for your great work in recovering my data from my USB memory stick. I had no recent backup (I know!!) and a lot of very valuable files which would have taken hours to rewrite. From the moment I spoke to Will, I began to have hope. No false promises, clear outline of costs, timescales and possible outcomes. Fortunately, I was one of the 97% "lucky" ones. All but 13 (unimportant) files restored and returned to me within 48 hours. So pleased I found you!! THANK YOU just doesn't do it really. Can only recommend you at every possible opportunity. x
Quick and easy process. very professional and all data was succesfully recovered from my device.
Did the job. Did it quickly. Communicated effectively. Some miscommunication occurred. Price was more than anticipated.
Great service. Picked up same day. Didn’t get my videos but got most of my photos. Thanks
I accidentally overwrote my Masters portfolio literature review. I rang R3 data retrieval in the morning and Andy was amazing and managed to retrieve it for me within the day. Best money I ever spent, excellent service and customer care. 10/10 would recommend.
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!
expensive but value for money
These guys were really professional and straight forward. Highly recommend their service if you have old hard drives that you think have died and need resurrecting
Worked hard in recovering my important date
R3 successfully recovered 850Go of data from my failed hard drive in about a month. At first I was sent a file list that was only showing about half of the content, which scared me, but after sending further details and explanation the team was able to find everything I wanted. Each step was clearly explained to me and the communication was great. It's not a cheap service but it's a huge relief for me to have everything back. Now I'm copying all my data on 3 different drives + Cloud.
