Our Data Recovery Services
We offer a full spectrum of data restoration services, catering to everything from individual laptops to large-scale enterprise storage arrays.
Hard Drive Data Recovery (HDD and SSD) We handle all forms of mechanical and flash-based storage failure. If you are experiencing a Hard drive clicking sound recovery Dubai emergency, our cleanroom technicians can perform delicate head swaps and platter transplants.
For solid-state media, we provide Emergency SSD firmware repair UAE, using specialized hardware to bypass failed controllers and read data directly from NAND chips.
Video File and CCTV Recovery Corrupted or deleted video footage can have severe legal or commercial consequences. We offer specialized CCTV footage recovery Dubai for security systems, as well as restoration for 4K/8K professional media files that have been formatted or lost due to card corruption.
RAID and Server Recovery Server downtime is a direct threat to business revenue. As professional RAID 5 recovery specialists, we excel in reconstructing collapsed arrays, fixing RAID controller failures, and restoring data from NAS and SAN systems even when multiple drives have failed.
Mobile and Laptop Data Recovery We provide expert recovery for iPhones, Android devices, MacBooks, and Windows laptops. Whether a device has suffered liquid damage, a smashed screen, or a “dead” logic board, our micro-solderers can often extract data from the onboard storage.
USB, Memory Card, and External Drive Recovery Even small devices carry significant data. We recover files from corrupted USB sticks, SD cards used in professional photography, and external backup drives that are no longer recognized by the computer.
Process: How It Works
Our streamlined five-step process ensures your data is handled with professional care from start to finish.
-
Free Consultation and Diagnosis: The process begins with a detailed discussion regarding your data loss event. We offer free consultation and a non-destructive diagnostic evaluation at our Dubai lab.
-
Device Inspection and Failure Analysis: Our engineers perform a thorough analysis to identify if the failure is logical (software) or physical (hardware). Physical inspections of opened drives occur exclusively in our cleanroom.
-
Recovery Plan and Transparent Quote: Within 24 hours, we provide a report outlining the expected results and a fixed quote for the recovery. You remain in total control of the decision-making process.
-
Secure Data Extraction and Verification: Once approved, we create a secure raw clone of your media. We perform the recovery on the clone to protect your original device. Every recovered file is verified for integrity.
-
Data Delivery and Post-Recovery Support: Your data is returned on a new, secure, encrypted drive. We also provide guidance on how to reintegrate the data and establish better backup practices for the future.
Issues We Fix
Data loss happens in many ways, but our techniques are designed to address almost any scenario.
Accidental Deletion or Formatting It only takes a second to delete a critical folder or format the wrong partition. Our logical recovery experts use deep-scanning tools to reconstruct file headers and directory trees, even after a “Full Format.”
Hard Drive Clicking and Physical Damage A clicking, beeping, or grinding sound is a sign of mechanical distress. We fix “head crashes,” motor seizures, and damaged platters. Our best-rated data recovery center Dubai is equipped to handle physical damage from drops, power surges, or fires.
Ransomware and Cyber Attacks Cybersecurity breaches can lock your files behind encryption. We provide Ransomware data decryption services UAE, helping organizations recover their data without rewarding malicious actors, provided the decryption is technically feasible.
SQL Database and Server Failures We specialize in SQL database restoration Dubai, addressing corruption in MDF and LDF files. We help IT departments recover from server OS crashes and RAID rebuild errors that threaten business operations.
Pricing Insight
We believe in absolute transparency when it comes to service costs. While every case is unique, we provide clear ranges so you can make an informed decision. The cost of recovery is determined by the complexity of the failure and the engineering hours required.
-
Logical Failures: Minor issues like accidental deletion or file system corruption typically fall into our base tier.
-
Firmware and Electrical Issues: Cases requiring Emergency SSD firmware repair UAE or PCB repair are priced based on the specialized equipment needed.
-
Physical/Cleanroom Cases: Mechanical repairs, such as Hard drive clicking sound recovery Dubai, involve the cost of donor parts and highly skilled cleanroom labor.
-
Enterprise/RAID Recovery: Reconstructing large-scale server arrays is priced based on the number of drives and the complexity of the parity calculation.
We always provide a fixed quote after the free diagnosis. If we cannot recover your required data, the recovery fee is waived.
Tips and Helpful Advice
The moments following a data loss event are critical for the survival of your files.
Immediate Action Steps:
-
Power Down Immediately: If you hear a noise or see an error, turn off the device. Continuing to run a failing drive can cause “head-to-platter” contact, resulting in permanent data destruction.
-
Avoid DIY Software: On modern SSDs and encrypted drives, “free” recovery software can actually make the data harder to retrieve by triggering background maintenance tasks that overwrite deleted space.
-
Do Not Open the Drive: Never open a hard drive in a home or office environment. A single dust particle can destroy the data surface when the platters spin at high speeds.
Best Practices for Prevention:
-
Follow the 3-2-1 Rule: Keep 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media types, with 1 copy stored off-site.
-
Use Surge Protectors: Power fluctuations in industrial areas can fry drive electronics.
-
Monitor Drive Health: Use SMART monitoring tools to catch signs of failure before they become catastrophic.
