Data Recovery Services

There are many companies that have sprung up over the last few years and price ranges for data recovery services seem very wide. So how do you go about selecting the right data recovery company and expect the best service and true cost.

Before committing to a quote from the Data Recovery Company, check with them about any possible extra charges. For example, some may charge for diagnosis or for a report; do the prices include the return media? If the problem is mechanical, does it include the cost of spare parts? Do they have their own cleanroom?

It is frustrating when you get a low quote then find out you have to pay more for the extras and in most cases it is not a choice and should be known by the company providing the quote.

Some will charge you for whatever they recover, so again make sure that you will only be charged if they can recover the data you actually need.

At MjM Data Recovery, our prices are fixed and there are no extra costs. We calculate our prices according to the problem and the service level you require and are not subject to any extra charges.

So how do I know you have recovered my data?
We send you a list of the files that we have found on your hard disk. Our software tests every single file and includes it's status in the report so you know before parting with any money that your data is safe.

If your data is not there, we can then perform any further work that may be required before sending out the data. Only when you are certain that we have recovered your data are you asked to pay.

Laptop Data Recovery

A large number of computers sold are laptop computers. They are light and portable. Modern laptops contain very large hard disks at the time of writing this article 500Gb are often seen here for data recovery. One of the most common problems we see are drives where the heads have crashed. The main cause is actually part of the design of the computer - remember the bit where I said 'they are light and portable'? It is easy to put the computer on your lap, then when you need to get up, lift the computer up and put it to one side. This movement can cause a head crash especially if the heads are reading or writing at the time. Most manuals that we have seen recommend putting the computer on a firm surface like a desk or a table and in fact NOT putting it on your lap - strange that they are called 'laptops' when it is not recommended to use them as such. Some manufacturers have developed hardware that detects when the computer is being moved and pulls the heads to a saf...

Raid Recovery

Raid recovery is a specialist type of data recovery service. RAID is an acronym of R edundant A rray of I nexpensive D rives and consists of at least two drives that are configured as a single volume or container. The most common forms of RAID are described below. RAID 0 requires a minimum of two drives that gives the full disk size of both drives as a single volume the data is stored in stripes each stripe consisting of a block of data on each drive block sizes are typically 64kb but we have block sizes from 4kb to 2 Mb in size. This is the cheapest type of RAID but has no redundancy. If one drive fails, then access to all data on both drives is lost. RAID 1 Requires 2 drives the second drive is an identical copy of the first drive meaning that you only get the equivalent of one drive for the price of two. Expensive but offers redundancy so one drive can fail and you can still access the data on the second drive. RAID 5 Requires a minimum of three drives. Is similar to RAID 0 in...
