Could not have been more helpful. From the initial phone conversation with Andy, to the regular updates from Will, a thoroughly professional service, to say nothing of a successful outcome.
Just a message to say thank you so much for all the help you and your team have done to recover the photos from my wife's Corrupted sd card. She is so happy they're not lost forever. From start to finish your service has been 5stars
Swift successful recovery of Data - thank you
Great Reliable Service! Recovered 95% of my data in a Lab Recovery. I was very pleased with the communication and overall experience.
Really helpful, clear pricing and great turnaround speed. Thank you to Andy and the team
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.
The service provided was very good
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!
Did the job. Did it quickly. Communicated effectively. Some miscommunication occurred. Price was more than anticipated.
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.
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!
Communication was informative and timely throughout, my expectations were clearly set on the process that would be undertaken, the issues impacting potential success, the likelihood of recovering my files in the various options and throughout the actual process. The actual recovery process was much faster than expected and at every stage I was consulted to ensure that the approach met my needs. It's everything you could have wanted from this kind of service.
