A HP Raid 5 Server that had two failed disks. The HP Proliant server contained critical data for a factory, recovery was completed over a weekend so that we could reopen factory on Monday morning. Great work from you guys.

I am a teacher at Lancing College and I dropped my Toshiba laptop that contained 5 years of teaching resources and was broken beyond repair. All I had to do is drop it into Brighton Data Recovery who removed the HDD and worked on the data recovery. I’m please to report that they were able to pull all the data from the hard drive and I had it all back in my possession within 3 days. Thanks for your hard work.

The hard drive on our Apple iMac contained pictures and video of our grandchildren and would not start. Churchill Square Mac Store could not recover data, but recommended Brighton Data Recovery, who luckily could. Thank you so much.

After a small hiccup with a Seagate external hard drive and the kitchen floor, I needed an expert in hdd recovery. I found these guys on google and they did a great job in data recovery, sending me everything on a USB stick with exactly the same files and folders I was missing. Speedy service, great price, full file recovery. Could not have asked for more.

You are a life saver, my business was on the Dell PC computer and I was hijacked by a ransomware virus. Thanks for keeping me calm and assuring me you could recover the data and advising me not to try myself at ransomware removal. I am so glad I trusted you, and I got all my data back and a completely clean PC again. A speedy service, 5 stars!!!

I have a Fashion Brand and the Macs in the office all started failing. Of course not everyone was using the dropbox link and only saving locally! Wasted loads of time removing the HDD and trying to do it myself with free online data recovery software, before conceding I needed a professional data recovery service. Brighton Data Recovery managed to get 99% of file recovery back, including all the designs for the new season and photoshoots images. Worth every penny and very happy with their services in HDD File Recovery and heartily recommend them.

I needed some urgent help with a sd card recovery after my camera got knocked into a stream doing a photoshoot by an over-exuberant groom. It was tears all round as the Bride had lost her wedding pictures and my rather expensive Canon had gone for a swim. I tried some data recovery software but it didn’t really work so I had to take the plunge to find a local file recovery expert. I am so lucky I found Brighton Data Recovery on google, who managed to restore pretty much everything to a USB stick for me. One happy Bride, but the Groom is still in the Doghouse. We all thank you!
