We fix all types of faulty hard disks, mechanical,

How much will Data Recovery or File Repair
cost?
A price / cost guide
for Data Recovery is given below. Unlike
many other data recovery and file repair
firms we keep our pricing policy as transparent
as possible.
The price covers recovery of your data as
it presently exists on your storage media.
This usually means your recovered data can
be opened by the original application. However
in the rarer cases the data loss results
in file corruption. Unless stated, price
does not included for repair of corrupt
files. If this is necessary we can discuss
your needs after the data is recovered.
The Data Recovery
Process and Life Expectancy of the device.
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.
Precautions to protect
your data during recovery?
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.
Speed of recovery
We understand
that when you have lost your data, speed
of return is essential. You may have staff
waiting to proceed. The sooner we see the
disk the sooner we can start to advise you
of the likely timescale. Every job is different
and may range from an hour for emailed corrupt
files to several days for damaged hard drives.
We will provide you regular information
throughout recovery and if required part-ship
data back to you to enable your business
to continue functioning.
Your data privacy is a
priority for us.
We have full non-disclosure
and privacy agreement for any data recovered
to protect your privacy.
We are not interested in the content, only
getting the data off your hard drive CD,
DVD, or memory card.
Returning your recovered
data or repaired file.
The data will be given
to you on either DVD, CD, Email, or another
hard drive. You choose!
Note we supply hard drives for those that
require their data back on a hard drive,
and we would be pleased to quote you the
additional cost of this based on the size
of hard drive and your personal requirements.

We aim to keep our prices low.
Most of our work comes through referrals. We don't wish to pay for massive marketing
and advertising campaigns used by the larger national data recovery services.
We keep our overheads low, enabling us to offer you a low price from a local
Staffordshire data recovery firm. We are simply determined to be No.1 for data
recovery in Staffordshire.
As a growing business
we don't want to see any Data Recovery job
leave Staffordshire.

If you have unintentionally deleted or formatted pictures, videos
or sound files on your data carrier or have pulled it out during a write operation,
no matter - Apex Technology can reconstruct the lost data for nearly all cases.
We can recover data when the computer complains that the "Disk is not formatted"
or "the disk in drive E is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?".
Of course you should choose "no" and give us a call! Alternatively
your disk may not be recognised by the computer and it asks you "please
insert a disk into drive". You know better, you know there is data there,
but you think "how do I get my data back?" - we know how to get your
data back.
We recover the following digital
camera picture file formats

We are presently spending
a lot of research time overcoming the 'Hard
Drive not recognised in BIOS' particularly
for the Fujitsu Hard drive. This an been
largerly attributed to the Cirrus logic
chip on the controller board for a faulty
batch of the hard drive produced during
2002. MPG3 and MPF3 series are particularly
affected.
The problems with this Hard Drive are currently
expected to peak over 2004/2005 and so we
would recommend having a good data backup
procedure in place, or perhaps moving critical
data to an alternative drive.
