The problem
Lost data, and
no idea what to do next?
Data loss rarely announces itself politely. A drive starts clicking, a laptop won’t boot past the logo, a formatted USB stick turns out to have the only copies of your photos, or a ransomware note appears where your files used to be. Most people’s first instinct — restarting the device, running random recovery software, or opening the drive themselves — is often what turns a recoverable problem into a permanent one.
And the backup you assumed was running? For most households and small businesses, it either never existed or quietly stopped working months ago. That’s exactly when experienced data recovery Perth households and businesses can trust matters most — not a generic call centre or a mail-in gamble. If the problem turns out to be the device itself rather than the data, we also handle computer repair Perth-wide.
01
A hard drive or SSD that’s clicking, grinding or not detected at all
02
Accidentally deleted files, folders or a reformatted drive
03
A laptop or desktop that won’t boot past the logo screen
04
A phone, tablet or camera dropped, crushed or water-damaged
05
Files encrypted by ransomware, or a corrupted backup
06
A RAID or NAS array that’s failed or won’t rebuild
Why it goes wrong
One wrong step,
and it’s gone for good
Off-the-shelf recovery software and DIY fixes can work for simple cases — but on a genuinely failing drive, every extra read-write cycle reduces the odds of full recovery. Here’s where most attempts go wrong.
Risky
DIY software writing over recoverable data
DIY recovery tools and free software can overwrite the very sectors that hold your recoverable data — one wrong pass and it’s gone permanently.
Reactive
No backup, discovered after it’s too late
By the time most people realise their backup wasn’t working, the original files are already gone — there’s no second chance to try again.
Costly
National labs charging lab fees before they’ll even look
Big national chains often charge an upfront lab fee just to look at your drive, before they’ve told you if recovery is even possible.
Slow
Weeks of turnaround for a mail-in service
Mail-in services can take weeks — meanwhile you’re locked out of the files, photos or business data you need right now.

FAQs
Good questions,
straight answers
How much does data recovery in Perth cost?
It depends on the type of failure — logical issues like deletion or formatting cost less than mechanical drive failures or RAID rebuilds. A $99 assessment (credited to your recovery) tells us exactly what’s needed — standard logical recoveries are a flat $150, with more complex jobs quoted from there.
What are my chances of getting my files back?
It depends on the failure type and what’s been done to the drive since. Logical failures (deletion, formatting, corruption) usually have strong recovery odds. Mechanical failures are more variable — the diagnostic gives you an honest, specific answer for your drive.
Is it too late if I’ve already tried recovery software myself?
Not necessarily, but stop using the drive immediately. Every extra read can overwrite recoverable data. Bring it in as-is and we’ll assess what’s still recoverable.
Do you recover RAID and NAS arrays?
Yes — including degraded arrays, failed rebuilds and multi-drive business storage systems, both on-site and in a controlled workshop environment.
Can you recover data from a phone or tablet?
Yes, including devices affected by water damage, physical damage or software corruption, where the underlying storage is still intact.
Is my data kept confidential during recovery?
Yes — recovered data is handled securely and confidentially, and never accessed beyond what’s needed to complete the recovery. Drives and data are securely wiped or returned, as you choose.
Do you come to my home or business, or do I need to send the drive away?
Both — we offer on-site diagnostics and many recoveries across the Perth metro, and can also manage more complex cases without the delays of a mail-in national chain.
