Just because a computer's hard drive has failed does not necessarily mean that you'll need to send it to a national lab or even to England. Our company, Belfast Data Recovery, has operated in Belfast for over two decades. We operate an in-office hard drive recovery centre for all of Northern Ireland, just a short drive or train ride from Bangor, about 13 miles along the A2. We are able to recover hard drives, solid state disks (SSDs), digital camera memory cards, network attached storage (NAS) devices, RAID and server hard drives, all in-house. If you are looking for a Bangor data recovery option for your home or business, bring it by our office in Belfast or post it to us. Free diagnostic, and in most cases, if we cannot recover your data, you don't owe us a thing.
Approximately 13 miles and 25 minutes from Bangor, you can either drop off your device at our office in Belfast or post it in.
Whether you are on the beach fronting the sea in Bangor or heading out to Holywood, Donaghadee or the North Down coastline, the service is exactly the same. Drop off your device at our office in Belfast or post it to us fully insured.
Bangor became Northern Ireland's latest city with around 61,000 residents situated along the shores of Belfast Lough about 13 miles east of Belfast City Centre. It was once a Victorian seaside resort which eventually evolved into a commuter town for many workers. Today Bangor offers a bustling marina and rejuvenated seafront; it also features a burgeoning cafe/artistic scene and a variety of professional businesses, independent retail outlets and people working from home throughout Ballyholme, Groomsport and along the North Down coast.
This means there is a lot of invaluable data: photographs taken by photographers along the coastline, businesses located either on or near the waterfront, students as well as remote workers, and countless family memories captured on photographs stored on a single external hard drive. When these drives fail, it feels as though an entire disaster recovery situation needs to be addressed.
Not usually. For most dead-looking drives that appear to contain no readable data, all bytes of original data remain intact; it is simply the electronic components, heads or file systems that have failed to read/write properly. All that is required is proper, successful access to that data, which can typically happen on the first try by someone who does this each day.
Based in Belfast, about 13 miles down the A2 road (a short drive or train ride away), we have been providing data recovery services to Bangor area customers for over two decades. Due to being so close, you will find that you may travel to our office in Belfast for delivery of your failed device or post it in fully insured. All jobs begin with a complimentary diagnostic test followed by a fixed price quote. In most instances you will only need to pay for your data recovery service if it has been successfully completed.
The four types of recoveries that occur most frequently from Bangor and surrounding areas.
Many of our customers from Bangor use this service by dropping their drive off (so convenient), although if you would prefer to avoid the travel, sending it via post is equally simple.
Just give us a phone call or message about the device and the problem that has occurred, and we'll tell you approximately how much it's going to cost right then and there, before you even bring it down to see us or ship it to us.
Drop your device (or just the drive for laptops, NAS and servers) into our Belfast location Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm (walk-ins welcome) or post your item to us fully insured at your convenience.
We will assess your device, most of the time within 48 hours, and issue a fixed written quote prior to performing any work.
Once your data is recovered, we compare it against a list of files; you may choose to pick up your data yourself or have it posted to you on brand new media.
Dropping off saves you the shipping hassle, as well; if you're in an emergency situation and need this job done quickly, please let us know when you contact us.

Our office is located in Belfast which is approximately 13 miles down the A2 road from Bangor, a short drive or train ride away. We provide recovery services to both Bangor & North Down residents from there and have been doing so for well over two decades.

Whatever you prefer. Many of our Bangor customers bring the drive in as they come into Belfast. Bring just the drive for laptop, NAS & server, labelled. Alternatively, you can simply post it, fully insured and tracked. In either case you will receive a complimentary diagnostic and a fixed quote prior to us starting work on your device.
Anything that holds data: hard drives, SSDs, USB memory sticks (pen drives), camera cards, Macs, laptops, external hard drives, RAID arrays, NAS boxes, servers and databases. It does not matter whether the media has been formatted or whether it was damaged due to a simple accident, a failed array or a ransomware hit: every item that contains data is worthy of a free diagnostic.
Bangor and its surrounding areas, which include; Ballyholme, Groomsport, Helen's Bay, Crawfordsburn, Conlig, Donaghadee & Holywood. Regardless of where you live within these locations, the service and price will be the same.
Most recoveries take 3 to 4 working days with the free diagnostic completed in most cases within 48 hours. A rough guide as follows; USB sticks/memory cards from £250 + VAT, hard drives/SSDs from £300 + VAT, RAID/NAS/servers from £500 + VAT, always with a fixed written quote first. And in most cases you only have to pay if we recover your data.
Written diagnostic for free, and in most instances you will only pay if we recover your data, and over two decades of experience a very short journey along the Lough. Bring the device to Belfast, or post it in fully insured.
