Data recovery in Blyth.

Right from industrial estate and distribution park locations to all of the offshore wind work at the port, Blyth is all about data and we make sure it can be recovered. Based in Newcastle city centre, a short stretch along the A189 Spine Road, we’ve been recovering hard drives, SSDs, RAID arrays, NAS devices and servers in-house as part of our service provision since 2002. Send your device over, drop it off, or send it via post; there is no charge for diagnostics, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.

// data recovery in blyth

A port town on the move.

Blyth has approximately 40,000 residents. There is also Northumberland College, the offshore wind industry, the Port of Blyth, and the National Renewable Energy Centre. All of these entities create a lot of data that could be lost at an awful cost (e.g. dissertations and research, client work and case files, business records, family photos that were never backed up). The data is stored on drives which may fail without warning.

The majority of failed devices contain perfect data. In nearly all instances the problem lies in the hardware or electronic components of the drive (heads, file system etc.) rather than the data. The only issue is safely retrieving the data. Our engineers have many years’ experience doing this on an almost daily basis. If you need to drop off your device, we are approximately 14 miles down the road from Blyth (along the Quayside), however if you would prefer to use the postal service, then again there is nothing to stop you sending your device to us. We will cover the cost of returning your device.

Common questions from Blyth.

We operate out of Newcastle, approximately 14 miles down the road along the A189 Spine Road, about 25 minutes from Blyth. We have been recovering data for customers in Blyth and Newsham since 2002. Customers may drop their items off at our Newcastle location Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, or post them to us using a fully insured shipping method.

Yes, that is a significant component of what we do. We recover RAID arrays, NAS devices, physical and virtual servers, and SQL and Exchange database files in-house; we do not outsource. In many cases business critical jobs can be given priority and when required we will document a chain of custody.

Quite frequently; however, do not turn it back on or use heat to “dry” it. This will likely result in further damage. Bring it to us and we will evaluate the device. Water damaged drives are commonly restored provided the drive was not powered on while it was wet.

All of Blyth and the surrounding area (including Blyth, Newsham, Cowpen, Cramlington, Bedlington and Seaton Delaval). Regardless of location the price and service are identical.

Normally we will recover data from most jobs in 3 to 4 working days, and normally complete the free diagnosis within 48 hours. Please note: as a rough guide our prices start from £250 + VAT for recovery of individual USB sticks and memory cards, from £300 + VAT for hard drives and solid state drives (SSDs) and from £500 + VAT for recovery of RAID, NAS and server systems etc.; however all quotes are fixed and provided in writing prior to commencement of work, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
