In the event of a failed drive in Carterton, there is no need to transport the device to London or submit it to a nameless national chain. Oxford Data Recovery are based in a lab approximately 22 miles from Carterton along the A40. We have recovered data from server systems (including RAID configurations), NAS boxes, memory cards from digital cameras, SSDs and hard drives in our laboratory since 2002. If you pass close by, drop in and see what we can do; alternatively, post it to us. Either method provides a complimentary diagnostic, and in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
The distance (and travel time) by car between Carterton and our bench is approximately 40 minutes and 22 miles; you can deliver it personally or send it via post.
Carterton is a west Oxfordshire town with an approximate population of 16,000, established near RAF Brize Norton. This area has a large service community. As such, the people there experience a lot of movement; because of these movements, along with the variety of equipment used there, there are many different types of data being created on a daily basis that could cause great loss if lost: account information, client documents and photographs along with all of your hard work over the years.
If you have an old failing hard drive (or other storage device), the good news is all of your files are probably intact; the problem typically lies with the head(s), circuit board or file system, not the data. We specialise in recovering damaged files and we use our many years’ experience to get them back for you. Although we’re located at Oxford Science Park, only 22 miles away from Carterton, sending your drive via the postal service also works perfectly well. We will even cover the cost of returning your drive once the recovery process is complete.

Probably not. Most drives labelled as “dead” have intact data. What typically occurs are failures either on the heads, circuit board, or file system. Once a qualified person reads this data cleanly from the device (first attempt), it can be recovered.

Then you can choose to come by our Oxford unit during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm) and bring us the device (for laptops, NAS and servers, just the drive), or you can post it to us, insured.
We will inspect the damaged hard drive (usually within 48 hours), and send you a fixed written quote of what it would cost to recover your files prior to doing anything.
We will then perform the data recovery, compare the recovered files to a list of your files, and allow you to retrieve them from us directly or have us return them on fresh media.
You can bring it straight to us if you want to avoid using the postal service, and urgent cases can usually go direct to the front of the queue. If your case is urgent, tell us that when you call.
