Q: I pried my hard drive out of my computer and it appears to have suffered a lot of damage, I can see scorch marks and melted components. Is there any point getting it checked to see if anything can be recovered?

A: You would be surprised how much data can survive on a hard drive that has been through extremely hazardous circumstances. If the data on the hard drive is important to you, it is always worth contacting us to see if our expert hard drive recovery services can salvage something from it. Even if your hard drive is completely beyond repair, we can still restore whatever data is recoverable and put it on a new hard drive or other storage medium that is convenient to you, like a USB memory stick for example.
