Data recovery from all media
For over a decade we have helped Icelandic businesses and individuals recover data they could no longer reach. Specialist data recovery brings back files that have been lost, deleted by accident, damaged or made inaccessible for any reason. We recover data from hard drives, SSD and NVMe drives, RAID arrays, memory cards, USB flash drives and smart devices.
Hard drives (HDD)
We recover data from all types of hard drives, regardless of operating system. We divide data recovery projects into three categories depending on how much work is required to recover the data. The price depends on the volume of data, the type of drive, the cost of spare parts, the nature of the failure and the method needed.
We recover data from
- Drives with mechanical failures (read heads, motor, platters)
- Drives with electronic failures (PCB, firmware)
- Drives with damaged sectors
- Drives with SMART errors
- Drives that have been formatted by accident
Common symptoms
- Drive does not spin
- Clicking or knocking sounds
- Drive not detected in BIOS or the operating system
- Computer very slow; data is visible but cannot be copied or moved
SSD drives
We recover data from SSD (solid state drive) storage, including SATA SSD, NVMe SSD, M.2 SSD and PCIe SSD drives. We have specialist equipment that reads data directly from the NAND flash chips on the circuit board inside the drive.
We recover data from
- 2.5" SATA SSD drives
- M.2 SSD drives
- NVMe SSD drives
- Apple SSD drives
- Onboard SSD drives
Common symptoms
- Drive does not appear in the operating system
- Drive appears but shows as 0 MB
- Computer will not boot into the operating system
RAID systems
We have specialist equipment for recovering data from RAID arrays and NAS boxes. RAID recovery is possible when a partition of the array no longer appears in Windows or in Disk Utility on macOS, and also when two or more drives in the array have failed.
We recover from
- RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and more
- NAS systems (Synology, QNAP and others)
- Server RAID controllers
- Rebuilding complex configurations
- Arrays with several failed drives at once
Common symptoms
- More than one drive has failed
- Corrupted RAID configuration
- Failed RAID controller
- Data deleted by accident
- The array does not appear in the operating system
Memory cards
We can recover data from almost any faulty or dead memory or camera card. Deleted files can be recovered as long as they have not been overwritten.
We recover from
- SD and microSD cards
- CompactFlash (CF) cards
- Sony Memory Stick
- XQD and CFexpress cards
- Cards with liquid or moisture damage
Common symptoms
- Card is not recognised
- Read errors
- Corrupted files or lines across photos
- Data deleted by accident
Smartphones
We can recover data from all kinds of smartphones and smart devices - Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Nokia, Sony, LG, HTC and more. Whether they still work or have a broken screen, moisture damage or damage of any other kind.
We recover from
- iPhone, Samsung and other Android phones
- Phones with liquid or moisture damage
- Phones and smart devices left inaccessible after an update
- Smart devices that have been in an accident, broken or otherwise damaged
Common symptoms
- Dead and will not turn on
- Broken screen
- Dropped in water or another liquid
- Black screen
USB drives
We recover data from every kind of USB flash drive, whether the files have been deleted but not overwritten, the drive is dead, or it does not appear in the operating system.
We recover data in cases of
- Electronic failures
- Damaged USB connectors
- Firmware problems
- NAND flash failures
- Water damage
Common symptoms
- Drive is not recognised
- Broken connector
- Corrupted files
- Not visible in the operating system
Laptops with built-in SSD/NVMe drives
We recover data from laptops with built-in, or "onboard", SSD/NVMe drives - the kind used by every recent Apple computer and some newer PC laptops.
We recover from
- Apple MacBook (M1, M2, M3, Intel)
- Laptops with built-in NVMe/SSD drives
- Soldered SSD chips on the motherboard
- T2/M-chip encrypted drives (when the customer provides the password)
- PC laptops with onboard SSD/NVMe
Common symptoms
- Laptop will not boot into the operating system
- Liquid or moisture damage
- Blue screen
- Failed motherboard
