What customers experienced with R3?
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.
So after 20+ years of chancing my luck with no data backup my laptop one day wouldn't turn on. Slightly worried I bought another laptop and fitted the drive to transfer the data. But oh no that was dead. After looking around and reading reviews I messaged R3 late one Saturday night. 5 mins later I had a reply! Very professional and had all.my data recovered in the quoted time. I can't praise them highly enough. Of course I now have a nas drive and second backup of all my data.
Great communication and swift service. Successfully recovered important mobile phone data for me. Thanks!
Quick and easy process. very professional and all data was succesfully recovered from my device.
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.
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.
These guys managed to save several years of professional work from a Drobo RAID system. Fast, efficient, calm service. Expensive but effective.
Great service. Prompt and full recovery of data from my laptop hard drive.
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!
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
My hard drive full of every family photo for the last 20 years died. It also contained every document I had saved in that time. A hard drive full of very sentimental files such as photos of my children being born. Devastated at the prospect of losing all of this data, I set about finding a recovery service. So many providers had patchy reviews and didn't look legit until I came across R3. The service was very smooth and 99.9% of my data was recovered. Just 12 files could not be recovered out of 77,000!
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
Really helpful, clear pricing and great turnaround speed. Thank you to Andy and the team
