We can perform repairs on PCBs and connectors.

We can read directly from NAND flash chips when necessary.
Don't try it yourself
Incorrect repairs can cause permanent damage to your data.
First actions matter!
If your USB drive is not being recognized or data has been lost, stop using it immediately. Do not try to format it or run data recovery software yourself as this can make things worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I bring in a USB drive for data recovery?
We examine the drive and perform a diagnostic assessment. You receive a quote and an estimate of the likelihood of success before we begin. If you accept the offer, we start the recovery immediately.
How much does USB drive data recovery cost?
The price depends on the type of failure and how complex it is. We always provide a quote after inspection. A fixed offer is given after diagnosis and you know exactly what you're committing to.
How do I receive my recovered data?
Data is delivered on a new USB drive or sent electronically for smaller amounts of data. We send you a list of all recovered data before you pick it up.
How long does data recovery take?
The time depends on how complex the failure is. Simple cases often take 1–3 business days; more complex cases may take longer.
What do our customers say?
We are proud of our outstanding service and results
I received very good service. The intake process is simple and smooth. The work is done quickly and reliably. In my case it was a difficult job but I got all my data back.
Þorgeir Arnórsson
Short and sweet. Brought in a dead drive but after a lot of effort by Datatech they were able to recover everything and transfer it to this itty bitty drive from them. Dream come true and everyone is happy to finally see everything again.
Leifur Reynir Björnsson
I received exemplary service. My personal computer data was unfortunately mostly stored on a single drive that suddenly became unreadable. After a diagnostic elsewhere I was referred to Datatech. The data was recovered 100%. All communication was as good as it gets.
Bjarni Frímann Karlsson
Truly fast and professional service. Recovered my data 100% and was always available to answer any questions. Highly recommend.
Helga Lilja Magnúsdóttir
The Apple store couldn't do anything for me and referred me to Datatech but didn't promise results. I wasn't optimistic but decided to try. It took time but it worked and the cost estimate was honored. I give them the highest possible recommendation.
