It should also noted that by the time any data storage item is sent to us it has almost reached the end of its life. The recovery procedure normally marks the last chance of life for it. The repair procedure is merely to get the data off the device and marks the final resting place of the hard drive / flash memory / usb memory stick! In any event we would never recommend re-using any failed/repaired data storage device. Your data is simply too important and precious to risk it.
We take a 'belt and braces' approach when it comes to recovering your data. If we use any specialist software, it is verified 'read-only' software, and we also take the added precaution of installing a 'data-write blocker' which physically prevents writing any data to your disk. This equipment costs several thousand pounds. Never let anyone near your data who simply relies on software alone not to corrupt or accidentally overwrite your data. We also only work on 'clones' of your original data leaving the original intact in a forensically sound manner. Not all companies take this additional step.
