Lost data in Davis?
Free phone assessment and free Quick Quote — onsite, drop-in or secure mail-in. You see a full list of recovered files before you pay.
RAID, NAS and business servers
A degraded RAID array or a NAS (Synology, QNAP, WD) that has dropped a disk is recoverable — if you stop. Do not rebuild, reinitialise or re-order drives, and do not reinstall the operating system; those steps destroy more data than the original failure. See RAID recovery and business data recovery.
From dead device to file list: the process
- Free phone assessment. Tell us what happened; a technician gives you an honest read on the options — expect a straight answer from a technician within minutes.
- Get the device to us. Drop in, we collect, or mail it in — whatever suits Davis, with your device handled carefully and returned to you either way. For deleted files or lost emails on a computer that still runs, ask about a secure remote session — often no travel at all.
- Inspection and your file list. An inspection fee applies for the lab assessment (from $139, by device and turnaround). You then receive a full list of the files we can recover and a fixed quote.
- You decide. Pay for the recovery only once you have seen what is recoverable. Data returns on new media, by secure download, or to your cloud.
Failed drives: the Davis bread and butter
Spinning drives fail mechanically — clicking, beeping, or not spinning up — and logically, through corruption, accidental formatting or deleted partitions. SSDs (SATA, M.2, NVMe) fail differently: controller faults, firmware bugs and sudden death with no warning. Logical recoveries run in our lab with write-protected imaging; physical failures are opened in our Class 100 cleanroom. Dropped externals from Davis homes are among the most common jobs we see. More detail: hard drive recovery and SSD recovery.
Dead phone? The photos are usually fine
Phones that will not turn on, boot-loop or have been water-damaged usually still hold their data — the job is making the device stable enough to extract it. The same goes for iPads and for MacBooks with soldered storage and Apple-silicon security, which need specialist handling. See iPhone recovery and Mac recovery.
Mail-in recovery: the post office does the driving
Plenty of Davis customers just want to send the device in. Tell us what has happened and pay the inspection fee (from $139, depending on device and turnaround). We then email you an Australia Post label to print plus our lab address — just lodge the parcel at your nearest Australia Post outlet (you pay the postage at the counter). When it arrives we inspect it and send you a full list of the files we can recover with a fixed quote — you only pay for the recovery once you have seen what is recoverable.

Memory cards, USB sticks and older media
- SD and camera cards — accidental formats and mid-shoot corruption recover well.
- USB sticks — snapped connectors and dead boards; keep all the pieces.
- Old media — IDE drives, tapes, ZIPs and floppies still readable in our lab.

Local to Davis
Davis sits about 194 km north-west of the Hobart CBD. We also help nearby Heard Island (0.0 km), Macquarie (0.0 km), Mawson (0.0 km), Mcdonald Islands (0.0 km) — onsite, by pickup, or by mail-in. Citywide: Data Recovery Hobart; national hub: Data Recovery; encrypted files: Ransomware Recovery.
From Curries River, Davis households trust local technicians with the files that matter. We have rescued more than one season of junior sport photos for families around Beechford Sports Ground.
First, do no harm: power the device off and stop using it — every minute of use risks overwriting your files. Do not run free recovery software (it writes to the very disk you are trying to save), do not open a drive outside a cleanroom, do not keep power-cycling a clicking drive, and please ignore the freezer trick — it ruins modern drives. Phone us first; the assessment costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions
Why does data recovery pricing vary so much?
Because the work varies: a deleted-file job is hours in software; a clicking drive needs cleanroom time and donor parts. That is why we inspect first and give you a fixed, itemised quote with your file list — never a guess.
Apple said they cannot get my files back. Can you?
Frequently, yes. Apple replaces hardware; it does not do data recovery. Macs with T2 or Apple-silicon security and dead phones need specialist extraction, which is exactly what our lab does.
My NAS or RAID dropped a disk — should I rebuild?
No. Do not rebuild, reinitialise or re-order the drives, and do not reinstall the operating system. Those steps destroy more data than the original failure. Label the drives and call for a free phone assessment.
Is mail-in safe for a failing drive?
Yes, packed right: original padding or bubble wrap, a rigid box, no loose movement. We email packing instructions with your Australia Post label, and tracking covers the trip.
Are deleted files on an SSD recoverable?
Honestly: sometimes not. Modern SSDs run TRIM, which can erase deleted data within hours. Failed SSDs (controller or firmware faults) are a different story and are often fully recoverable. Either way, stop writing to the drive and get it assessed.
Do you recover data in Davis?
Yes — we help Davis (7151) and the surrounding area, onsite, by drop-in, by collection, or by secure mail-in. Start with a free phone assessment and a free Quick Quote.

Can I just mail my device in?
