Data Recovery for Clayton and Monash Students
Clayton is about 5.5 km east of our Bentleigh East workshop. Losing a thesis, research data or a semester of assignments to a failed drive is a common reason Clayton students call us, often right before a deadline.
Laptop and MacBook Drive Failures
Most modern laptops use SSDs, which can fail suddenly without the warning noises of an old hard drive. We recover data from both, including newer MacBooks where the SSD is soldered to the logic board.
Recovering Data from a Dead MacBook
On recent MacBooks the storage is encrypted and tied to the logic board, so the drive can’t simply be removed. To get your files back, the board itself has to be brought back to life. We do this chip-level repair in-house.
Before You Bring It In
Don’t keep restarting a failing drive or run free recovery apps on it. Each attempt can reduce what we can recover. Assessment is $70, and most recoveries cost $199 to $299.
- We provide same-day data recovery services
- We use advanced data recovery mechanisms for preserving data integrity
- We extract the data from both laptop and MacBook
- Comprehensive diagnostics for accurately locating files and folders on the hard drive
- Affordable data recovery service
Data Recovery in Clayton: Common Questions
My SSD failed without warning. Can the data be recovered?
Often, yes. SSDs can fail suddenly without the noises an old hard drive makes. We recover data from both SSDs and hard drives, including laptops and MacBooks.
Can you recover data from a MacBook that won't turn on?
On recent MacBooks the storage is encrypted and tied to the logic board, so the drive can’t simply be removed. We repair the board at chip level in-house to bring it back and reach your files.
Should I try a free recovery app first?
It’s better not to on a failing drive. Each attempt can reduce what’s recoverable. Switch it off and bring it in.
How much does it cost for students?
Assessment is $70, and most recoveries cost $199 to $299, quoted before any work begins.
