John wasn’t advertised as the cheapest but I had read some fantastic reviews about his company online and decided maybe cheap wasn’t the best option this time, after all I had just deleted every photo we had taken ranging back 20 years, wedding, child births - the lot! Needless to say I wasn’t in the good books and this needed sorting. John was fantastic and transparent throughout he advised me on the best approach and as he discussed when he hit unforeseen issues with the HDD there was no extra charge... ( I feel this is where the other cheaper companies would have made their sales) long story short John retrieved everything, minimum fuss and keeps you fully updated throughout the process. Just as it should be in an era where customer service all too often takes a back seat. Couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks John.read more

I fully recommend CDR for your data recovery needs.After losing a large hard disk full of a lifetimes collection of media, I contacted CDR and spoke to John about the problem. He was honest, knowledgable and gave me very good advice explaining what had caused the failure. Importantly, he explained the actual costs of a mechanical failure recovery, honestly and concisely.There are many data recovery firms `out there` that will quote you a ridiculously low price for recovery and then raise the price considerably when they are in possession of your drive.CDR is NOT one of these firms, this gentleman is `on the level`.His quote for the work matched with what I expected. In my case I chose not to recover (* for now) as I was able to locate an old backup of some of the data I lost, so did not think it cost-effective to recover the remainder.*(for now..) john explained that I could store the drive for now and if still needed, send it in at a later date, the repair would still be possible.. - {good advice if your data is not critical}.).Be assured, Data recovery on a drive with mechanical failure IS expensive, it requires a clean room environment, long training and experience, and a deep technical knowledge of data storage. For the same reason that you would not want a cab driver piloting a jumbo jet full of passengers, neither do you want a script kiddy fiddling with your drive heads...;-)I appreciated the honest advice and truthful quote, so have no problem recommending CDR.read more

Very professional service! Data fully restored from mechanically broken HDD. I hope I never have to use John's service again, but will keep the number just in case somebody else has similar issues. )

It can be very daunting to find a company to recover a failured external hard drive! A lot of competition, very high prices for the job and you don't know for sure you will get your data back. I researched online, many big companies with fancy addresses in London, calling you back in the space of 2 seconds to talk you into sending the hard drive to them...they must make a lot of money to pay those very high rent in London! Instead of going with the big companies, I opted for Cheadle DATA. The reviews I read felt trustworthy and I was favourably impressed. John was very clear and talked me through the procedure on the phone. I got the feeling it was the right choice so decided to go with them and I'm very happy I did. My questions and emails were promptly and professionally replied and I didn't feel pressured to send my hard drive to them, unlike other companies, which offer free pick up and returns. Everything went smooth. I got my full data recovery back, so very happy! Highly recommendread more
