A failure in Craigavon does not necessitate travel to England or to send it to an unknown national laboratory. We are Belfast Data Recovery, located a clear run up the M1. We have recovered hard drives, SSDs, camera memory cards, NAS devices and servers locally at our office for over two decades. Send it by post in fully insured packaging or drop it off in Belfast. Diagnostics are free, and in most cases there will be no charge unless we successfully recover your data.
Approximately 27 miles and 40 minutes north of Craigavon along the M1 to our Belfast office. Post it in fully insured packaging or drop it off as you head towards Belfast by way of the motorway.
Regardless of whether you're based within the town centre or reside in Lurgan, Portadown, Tandragee or Waringstown, service remains the same. Simply post it to us in fully insured packaging or drop it off in Belfast.
The planned town of Craigavon which was developed during the 1960s as a new town located between Lurgan and Portadown, surrounding the two lakes and based around the Rushmere shopping complex forms a population base of approximately 72,000 people in the north of County Armagh. There are a variety of employers located throughout the M1 corridor including manufacturers, logistics operators, retailers and food processing companies. These businesses operate along the M1 motorway with Lurgan and Portadown being situated at each end.
This creates a large amount of unique/irreplaceable data: e.g., manufacturers and logistics operators use servers and NAS boxes along the M1 corridor to store their data; retailers in the Rushmere Centre will also be storing customer information etc.; food processors/traders will have customer orders/invoices; households will have thousands of digital photographs stored on an external hard drive, therefore when the storage fails it can appear to 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 have been recovering lost data for Craigavon clients from Belfast, about 27 miles along the M1, for more than two decades. You have options to send your storage device to us fully insured and tracked, or bring it into our Belfast office in person if you are passing through. Every recovery job starts with a complimentary diagnostic followed by a fixed price quotation in writing. In most cases there is no charge to the client unless successful in recovering the lost data.
For decades now, Craigavon has relied heavily upon engineering/manufacturing and agriculture, which influences the nature of devices sent to us from North Armagh for data recovery. If a server or NAS fails within an engineering or manufacturing company it may mean years worth of CAD drawings/job files/accounts cannot be accessed; if an external hard drive is dropped by a farmer it could contain all of his/her records regarding livestock/herd/yield; a corrupted memory card can be disastrous for a local photographer who loses wedding photographs/day at the show etc. No matter what type of device you are trying to recover, the process remains the same: first image the storage media cleanly, then rebuild your lost data from the image so that the original storage device is never further compromised.
Because we are only a run down the M1, many residents of Craigavon, Portadown and surrounding areas will either send in the device by fully insured post or drop it in to us on a visit to Belfast. No waiting on a national lab; no drive leaving the country; and a fixed price quotation in writing before we do any work, so you'll never be unsure of what you'll pay when you decide to go ahead.
Four types of devices from Craigavon and nearby are recovered most frequently by us.
Craigavon is located directly on the M1 motorway making it an ideal location for both dropping off your drive or sending it via post. Both methods are just as convenient.
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.

You can either send your faulty device to us (fully insured) or deliver it personally to our Belfast office, Monday to Friday, 9am-5:30pm.

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.

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.
