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.

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.

George Scott

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.

Excellent Service all files recovered,couldn`t have asked for more.

Peter

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.

Rob
United Kingdom

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!

Gerry

R3 Data Recovery literally saved me. All data lost, and my current IT company couldn't help. They put me in contact with R3 Data Recovery, the next day they sent for the drive, and it took around 1 week to recover everything. They then sent it straight back and everything/all files was exactly how I had them before I had lost them. HUGE Relief, and extremely lovely friendly staff that put me at ease. DEFINIETLY recommend!!

Emma
Beverley, United Kingdom

What a fantastic company with great service! Excellent communication from my 1st email of the enquiry stage to receiving my fully recovered external hard drive. Had the pleasure of speaking to several members of staff during the course of them helping me, and aLao got to speak to the owner Andy. Can’t praise them all enough for the help they provided. Great team. Would recommend R3 without hesitation.

Mike Jones

I had an issue with a memory stick and lost 2 years' worth of designs. sent the damage stick to R3 and they recovered everything in less than 2 days. Fast and professional service, and was kept informed throughout the process.

Andrew
Coventry, United Kingdom

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

Brendan

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.
