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.
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.
Fortunately, they were able to do a geat job for me for me after a hardware failure inside a WD 2 terabyte external drive. The vast majority of files were recovered. The interaction with them was very good, they made no promises that they couldn't keep and were very swift in response. The cost of the work i found quite reasonable ( first and hopefully only time user!) - but then again it really depends on what value you put on your own threatened data (backed-up personal photos & work files).
Excellent service. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Would have been 10 but very bad service from Parcelforce .
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. What absolutely legends they are. Not only did they recover all of my data from an completely dead hard drive which literally saved my business, but they also had all of the work (5TB) back to me within 6 days, literally driven to my door. They worked tirelessly day and night not leaving my drive and Andy was on hand no matter what the time to answer any of my questions, and calm me down when in tears and panicking. Much more than data recovery but in short, these are the people you need to go to if you have any hard drive issues - do not go to the manufacturers, you may end up with a new drive but no data!
Fantastic service. Saved so much data from our broken harddrive. Excellent communication. Totally recommend!
Amazing service. Don’t waste money and make matters worse by purchasing online options or software. These guys will sort it, if it’s at all possible. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
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
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!
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!
Worked hard in recovering my important date
Excellent service.
Excellent website that conveys the professional facility they operate. Efficient and prompt communication with clear description of the process of recovery. Rapid delivery of the damaged drive and delivery of a new drive with my data. Friendly people to deal with. Highly recommend them.
