How To Choose A Data Recovery Specialist That Won’t Let You Down

by Mike White

When choosing a data recovery company to recover your valuable data it is very important that you make the right choice. Making the wrong choice can be the difference between recovering useful data or potentially ending up with nothing.

The company that gets your vote should have dedicated Data recovery staff that are professionally trained for the required task.

Unfortunately some companies only undertake recovery tasks on an irregular basis and do not have either the skill set or necessary tools to carry out a full recovery of your data.

A true data recovery lab will be able to successfully recover data from Servers, Laptop’s, Desktop’s, CD/DVD’s and all other types of storage media, not simply just from a failed hard drive.

Top tier data recovery companies will be at the cutting edge and will be carrying out their own research and developments Changes to hard drive specifications or new tools are often unavailable so companies need to self develop.

If the company are an industry leader they will also offer a call out service as this is often a key requirement for server and raid recovery for example.

Frighteningly some companies will only have a basic workbench to recover your data, you want to ensure at the very least they have a certified (preferably certified to ISO class 3 standards).

In the event of your drive needing to be stripped down you need to know who is actually handling your data and is it secure? Having to send your drive to another country for assessment should not be a requirement in this day and age.

In summary your data has a huge value both on a personal and business basis so don’t rush in and make sure you ask the right questions to give you the best chance of getting your data back.
