I am really pleased with the service received from R3 Data Recovery. It has been nothing short of efficient and has been great overall. In terms of communication, I was always kept well informed and all my queries were answered pretty quickly too. I can't thank the team enough!
5* customer service. I cannot thank R3 Data Recovery enough. The team recovered all my photos and videos from a WD NAS drive. Would highly recommend, you definitely get what you pay for, Many thanks.
best service ive ever had from any company- thank you so much for you help this year
Fantastic people to deal with Totally honesty Kept me informed throughout the process, would have no hesitation in recommending them Martin C
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.
R3 data recovery was recommended to me after I had a major problem with data lost on a discarded hard drive. I had not backed up any of my data. R3 recovered data I needed and could not possibly have recovered without them.
My heart sank when my old 2GB flash drive 'died', knowing there was a lot of important and historical data on there. Advice from a family friend led me to R3 and I'm so glad I entrusted the recovery with them. The majority has been recovered with several corrupt files but I have the main ones I was hoping for! The service has been exceptional - extremely prompt response to my initial inquiry, excellent communication and customer service throughout, and organised collection and return of the drive. I shall learn by my mistake and make regular backups but I shall certainly know where to go if needed again! I can't thank the whole team enough.
Fantastic service, kept well informed throughout the process. All questions answered promptly. Sending Hard Drive easy, clear arrangements, likewise on return following data recovery. Many thanks to Andy, Will and Nick. R3 Data Recovery are the real deal in a sector where sadly too many scammers operate.
Excellent service and everyone was very helpful and friendly. Cost was comparable to other companies and I considered it good value for money.
Excellent service very polite and helpful staff. Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs help.
This is the second time I have used R3 Data Recovery in 10 years. Both times full fast recovery and was kept well informed during all stages of the process. This time is was after the failure of a 1TB internal hard disk. Collection and return of disk/recovery media fast and reliable. Although I hope not to have to use their services again I wouldn't hesitate if necessary.
Very fast and effective service
