We use specialist recovery tools to retrieve files from damaged, corrupted, and failed storage devices of every kind.
Free Assessment
We diagnose your drive and tell you what's recoverable before you commit to anything. No surprises, no pressure.
All File Types
Photos, videos, documents, databases, accounting files, emails — we recover every file type from every operating system.
Confidential & Secure
Your data is handled with strict confidentiality. Business files, personal photos — everything stays completely private.
Every Drive Type
Hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks, SD cards, external drives, NAS devices, and RAID arrays. If it stores data, we can work on it.
Lost Data? Here's What We Fix
These are the most common data loss situations we handle for Melbourne homes and businesses every week.
Crashed Hard Drive
Drive clicking, not spinning up, or not recognised by your computer? We recover data from mechanically failed hard drives using specialist tools.
Failed SSD
SSD suddenly disappeared or showing as unreadable? Solid-state drives fail differently to hard drives, but data is often still recoverable with the right approach.
Accidentally Deleted Files
Emptied the recycle bin too soon? Deleted the wrong folder? If you act fast and stop using the drive, we can usually get those files back.
Formatted Drive
Accidentally formatted the wrong drive or partition? The data is usually still there underneath — we use deep scanning to pull it back.
Corrupted USB or SD Card
USB stick or camera SD card asking to be formatted? Photos from your holiday or important documents can still be recovered from corrupted portable media.
RAID & NAS Recovery
Business RAID array degraded or NAS device failed? We recover data from multi-disk configurations including RAID 0, 1, 5, and Synology/QNAP systems.

What Melbourne customers say about data recovery
Verified Google reviews from customers whose data we recovered.
Irma de Bree
Shanesh was the best, my mother board was corrupt and he managed to extract and save files that I had not backed up, truly grateful and a lifesaver. He voluntarily spent longer time than what he was paid for and genuinely sincere person trying to help in a desperate situation. 5 stars is not enough. Would highly highly recommend and will ask for him personally next time.
Data Recovery FAQ
Answers to the questions Melbourne customers ask us most about recovering lost data.
Yes, in most cases. Even if your hard drive is clicking, not spinning, or completely unrecognised by your computer, the data on the platters is often intact. We use specialist tools to read the drive directly and extract your files. The key is to stop using the drive immediately and bring it to us.
Costs depend on the type of failure and storage device. Simple deletions and corrupted USB drives are at the lower end, while failed hard drives and RAID arrays cost more due to the time and tools involved. We always provide a clear quote after our free assessment — no surprises. No Data, No Fee — no surprises; you'll always know the cost before we start.
SSD recovery is trickier than traditional hard drives because of how they store data, but it's still possible in many cases. If your SSD suddenly disappeared or shows errors, bring it in as soon as possible. The longer you wait or keep trying to use it, the lower the chances. We have tools specifically designed for solid-state recovery.
Absolutely. Deleted photos are one of our most common recovery jobs — whether from a laptop, external hard drive, USB stick, or camera SD card. As long as the storage hasn't been heavily overwritten since deletion, we can usually get them back. Family photos, wedding shots, travel memories — we understand how irreplaceable they are.
Simple recoveries like deleted files or corrupted USB drives can often be done same-day. More complex jobs involving failed hard drives or RAID arrays may take two to five business days depending on the severity. We'll give you a realistic timeframe during the assessment so you know what to expect.
We strongly advise against it if your drive has a hardware fault (clicking, not detected, etc.). Running software on a failing drive can make things worse and reduce the chances of professional recovery. For simple deletions on a healthy drive, some software can help — but if you're unsure, it's safer to call us first. A free assessment costs nothing and protects your data.
Don't Wait — Every Hour Matters
The sooner you stop using the drive and bring it to us, the better your chances of a full recovery. Book now or call for urgent advice.
