Advanced Data Recovery Services - Data Clinic's research & development programme

Hard drives can fail in a variety of ways and sometimes, due to the damage sustained by a hard drive, it's not possible to recover the data from it using conventional recovery techniques.

Data Clinic's Advanced Data Recovery Services form an ongoing research and development project involving Manchester Universtiy and Italian hardware specialists GCubic. The scheme is backed by the UK's Department of Trade and Industry.

We often use this service to successfully recover data from drives where other data recovery companies have failed.
