Just because your hard disk crashed in Cookstown does not necessarily mean that you have to travel across the Irish Sea or submit your failing drive to some anonymous national laboratory. For the past twenty plus years, all of the data recovery work on hard drives, SSDs, camera cards, NAS units and servers has been undertaken by Belfast Data Recovery, located near the bottom of the M2 and A6. If you wish to hand-deliver your failing drive to us, please do so in person. Alternatively, simply send it to us in fully-insured packaging. In both cases there is no charge for the initial diagnostic work. Furthermore, in most cases you will only be charged if we can successfully recover your lost data.
Cookstown is a mid-Ulster market town known for its mile-long main street, situated approximately 45 miles from our Belfast premises over the M2 and A6. As such, you may either send it to us in fully-insured packaging, or hand-deliver it if you are travelling into Belfast. No repair or further examination will take place prior to receiving your approval of a fixed price quotation.
Whether you reside in Cookstown itself or live anywhere else within the surrounding area including Coagh, Moneymore, Pomeroy or Stewartstown; the service remains exactly the same. Therefore, please feel free to send your failing drive to us in fully-insured packaging. Alternatively, should you happen to be visiting Belfast at any time then you are also more than welcome to drop-off your failing drive in person.
Cookstown is a mid-Ulster market town. Its broad and very lengthy main street stretches for a full mile. Located in County Tyrone and boasting a population of roughly 12,000 residents, Cookstown serves as both a retail and business hub for the larger rural area that surrounds it. It is an agri-based economy that provides employment opportunities in food processing along with engineering. There is also a major livestock auction centre in addition to many local businesses and retailers operating from the town.
There are many businesses using large amounts of irreplaceable data, including food processors and engineers who manage servers and NAS devices, the livestock market and agribusinesses, retail businesses and family-run companies and households who store years' worth of photos on an external hard drive. When one of these storage systems fails, it can be disastrous.
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.
We are based in Belfast, approximately 45 miles from Cookstown along the M2 and A6. Over the past twenty plus years, we have retrieved all types of lost data from Cookstown area customers. If you wish, you can send a package with your device (fully insured and traceable) to our laboratory for recovery. Alternatively, you may personally bring the drive by our Belfast office if you are travelling to the area. Every project begins with a complimentary diagnosis and a firm written quote. In most cases, you do not pay unless data retrieval is successful.
These four are among the top recoveries sent to us from Cookstown and surrounding areas.
It is a straight run by car from Cookstown down the M2 and A6 to our office, and just as easy to post your device to us, so you can either drop off your drive or simply put it in the post.
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.

We are located in Belfast, which is approximately 45 miles along the M2 & A6, roughly 1hr 10 minutes from Cookstown. For over two decades, we have been recovering data for Cookstown and Mid-Ulster area customers from this location. You may send your device to us (fully insured), or simply drop by our Belfast office Monday to Friday, 9am-5:30pm to hand over the item(s).
Either way suits you. The trip from Cookstown to Belfast is a direct route along the M2 & A6; therefore many customers will drive down and hand over just their drive(s) for laptops, NAS & servers etc. Please label the drive(s). Alternatively, if you would prefer not to make the journey, please insure your posted item(s) and track them. In either case, you receive a complimentary diagnostic assessment and a fixed quotation prior to work commencing.
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.
This includes all areas of Cookstown and the surrounding areas (Tullyhogue, Coagh, Moneymore, Stewartstown, Pomeroy, Ardboe, The Loup and Sandholes). Service and pricing is the same regardless of where you live.
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.
No charge for an initial written assessment; in most cases no cost unless we recover your data. Over two decades' experience, with the option to take a direct route on the M2 & A6 and drop it off in Belfast, or post it to us fully insured.
