Hard Drive Data Recovery Experts
A failed hard drive isn’t something you should trust to an IT guy or computer repair shop. There are a number of places advertising “data recovery” services but most are little more than an attempt to run some off-the-shelf data recovery program. Hard drives are one of the most complicated parts of your computer. It requires a lot of specialized and expensive dedicated equipment to successfully extract data from a failed hard drive. If your hard drive is clicking, not being recognized in BIOS/UEFI, or you have any reason to expect it may have failed, go straight to a data recovery lab.
Our company uses state of the art data recovery systems such as PC-3000 Express, Deepspar Disk Imager, and countless other professional tools designed specifically for failed hard drive recovery. We perform all hard drive recovery right here in Rhode Island, including all clean room procedures.
We have experts proficient in data recovery from all brands of hard drives including:
- Seagate
- Western Digital
- Samsung
- Hitachi / HGST
- Toshiba
- Maxtor
- IBM
- Fujitsu
- Quantum
- and more
RAID Recovery Experts
RAID recovery is one of the most challenging aspects of data recovery. Many labs can handle hard drives but dare not venture into RAID data recovery. At Data Medics, we’ve spent years studying and perfecting our RAID recovery techniques. We can handle all software and hardware RAID types. Some of the RAID recovery services we offer include:

Free Data Recovery Evaluations
Some companies charge you just to look at your drive and see if it can be recovered. At Data Medics, evaluations are always free. Even if another company has already looked at it or attempted data recovery, we’ll still evaluate it completely free of charge. We even will cover the return shipping if you opt to decline our quote for recovery.
After evaluation, a fixed quote will be given for the recovery. There’s never any obligation to proceed if the quote is higher than you’d like to pay.

Data Recovery FAQ
Data Recovery FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How Long Does Data Recovery Take?
- Hardware Condition – A drive that is fully functional is much faster to recover data from than one that is severely damaged and must be repaired. So cases that are simply related to accidental deletion, format, viruses, etc. are generally pretty quick on the turnaround. Usually within 48 hours for most cases, however there are times when it takes longer. Drives needing hardware recovery generally take about 7 to 10 days, but can take longer based on other factors below.
- Drive Size – Even if the drive is fully functional a 4Tb drive will take as much as 20 hours to scan, and a recovery may involve several scans. Also, as a precaution, we always clone the data first to prevent any possibility of accidents while working with the data. Expect an extra day for drives larger than 500Gb or a few days for drives larger than 2Tb.
- Availability of Donor Parts – For drives with hardware issues, parts are often needed to repair the drive to a semi-functional condition where the data can be successfully extracted. Some hard drive sub-models are very common and easy to find the parts from one of our vendors. However others are not. At times we may even have to spend weeks searching online and calling other data recovery labs for the specific drive or parts we need. Or we may even have to buy a donor drive from overseas and wait for it to arrive. Usually this is the longest part of the whole process for hardware level recoveries.
- Functionality of Drive After Repair – Many makes of hard drives don’t take kindly to replacement parts, and don’t function anywhere near their full potential after an internal repair. As drives write magnetic data on a microscopic level, even the slightest micro variation (or micro jog) in manufacturing of parts may cause the drive to constantly have to re-read data over and over. While rare, some drives can take a month or more to extract all the data after such internal repairs.
- Service Type – Customers who need expedited or emergency services pay a bit more for our services, however they also get priority service. If you order expedited service ($150 extra) your project will be bumped to the front of the line and worked on before all other projects. However the work is still performed during normal business hours. If that isn’t fast enough you can order emergency service (quoted base on expected overtime) and we work through the night, and over weekend to finish the project as fast as possible.
What Is The Rate of Successful Recovery?
Many companies try to artificially inflate their success rate by quoting extremely high prices for projects they expect to fail, knowing that the customer is going to decline the quote and they won’t even have to attempt recovery. Thus keeping their impossibly high data recovery statistics up. Here at Data Medics, we don’t play those games. Upon successful evaluation of the media, we’ll provide a quote along with a realistic evaluation of the chances of a successful recovery.
How Do I Get My Data Back After Recovery?
In some cases the amount of data is very small, such as when recovering from thumb drives, CDs, DVDs, flash cards, etc. In these cases, we can simply put the data onto our secure, high speed, server for you to be able to log in and download your data.
What Happens If The Data Can't Be Recovered?
In some cases where the recovery is very partial, you will be given opportunity to preview the data to see if any necessary data has been successfully recovered. You will then have the option to accept the recovered data and pay the quote, or decline and call it a loss.
What If The Quote Is Too High?
