Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t see yours? Call 02 6188 9898.
How much does data recovery cost?
It depends on the device and the type of failure. We start with an assessment and confirm the hourly rate before any work begins.
Can you recover data from a clicking hard drive?
Yes, clicking drives are a common recovery scenario. This usually indicates a head failure which we can often recover data from. Stop using the drive and bring it to us.
How long does data recovery take?
Simple logical recoveries can be same-day. Physical recoveries typically take 2-5 business days depending on complexity. We'll give you a realistic timeframe at assessment.
Is my data kept confidential?
Absolutely. All data is handled confidentially. We never access, copy, or view personal files beyond what's needed for recovery.
Can you recover data from an SSD?
Yes, though SSD recovery is more complex than HDD. Success rates depend on the failure type — we assess it and confirm the hourly rate before proceeding.
What if you can't recover my data?
We agree the price with you upfront, so you always know the cost before we start.
Should I keep trying to access a failing drive?
No! Stop using the drive immediately. Continued use can make data unrecoverable. Call us for an assessment.
Do you cover all of Canberra and the ACT?
Yes. We serve Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, the Inner North & South, and Queanbeyan. We're mobile and on-site right across the ACT.
