Data Recovery Capabilities

Part of Hard Drive Recovery Group's mandate is to continually expand its data recovery capabilities as new technologies emerge. The technology explosion of the late 1990s taught us that this was not only critical to retaining clients, but to attracting new clients. In fact, roughly 5% of new clients come to us after attempting to have their data recovered by competitors, only to find they lacked the necessary technical expertise.

Our facility features a Class 100 clean room environment for hard disk repairs, RAID, RAID 0, RAID 5, optical media, mini-drives, flash and Smartmedia cards, and others. We also equip our labs with ESD safe solder stations for PCB repair, as well as full custom tooling and jig manufacturing.
