Cheadle data recovery is highly recommended. John recovered my data even though I thought all hope was lost. When other technicians said it was not possible, he did a chip level recovery of the data.... This was for a difficult intel optane SSD with complex encryption. He was professional and maintained good feedback throughout the process.read more

I bought two LaCie 4TB disks many years ago, and one is still working away merrily.But one had suddenly started that ominous sound we all hope we'll never hear.By sheer chance, a colleague... recommended CDR, so I got in touch. The 'no data, no fee' arrangement was a winner. CDR were so professional and kept me informed all the way. Despite my disk being almost unique in their experience, they sourced the required parts, and within a few weeks I received the results. Apart from one recalcitrant file, they had recovered nearly 2TBs of data of almost 30 years of family and travel photos and movies, which are absolutely irreplaceable. I can't thank CDR enough and will recommend them to anyone who needs help with data recovery.read more

Thank you , thank you John for retrieving my data from a dead hard drive. As non tekke person John explained everything is simple language for me and kept me updated throughout the process. There... were no hidden extra costs, what was quoted was charged. I would highly recommend CDR and would definitely use again, should the need arise. Margaretread more

Excellent service, wonderful communication and great efficiency - all my data was recovered and John was amazing. I'm so, so grateful as I'd thought I'd lost 10 years of work but every single file... was retrieved for me. Thank you so, so much - I highly recommend this company. Thank you CDR!read more
