Hard drive and SSD recovery in Lune River
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 forensic, write-protected imaging; physical failures are opened in our Class 100 cleanroom. Dropped externals from Lune River homes are among the most common jobs we see. More detail: hard drive recovery and SSD recovery.
Cards, sticks and the shoebox of old drives
- 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.

How data recovery works for Lune River
- Free phone assessment. Tell us what happened; a technician gives you an honest read on the options — expect priority and urgent turnaround options when the clock matters.
- Get the device to us. Drop in, we collect, or mail it in — whatever suits Lune River, with your device handled carefully and returned to you either way.
- 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.
iPhones, Androids and Macs
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.
Remote desktop recovery: no shipping required
If the computer still starts, many Lune River recoveries never need a courier: documents that have gone missing, files emptied from the Recycle Bin, vanished folders and lost emails (Outlook PST and OST included) can often be recovered through a secure remote session — you watch the whole time, you stay in control, and recovered files are saved somewhere safe before anything else is touched. Same free phone assessment, same fixed quote first. One honest rule: if the drive is clicking, failing or not detected, do not run anything at all — that is lab work, and mail-in exists for exactly that. See deleted file recovery and email & PST recovery.
When the office NAS goes red
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.
Too far from us? Mail in your device
Plenty of Lune River 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.

A recent Lune River client story
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.
After the recovery: never again
Lune River is on wireless internet via tower (up to 75 Mbps) — and even at those speeds, re-downloading a lifetime of photos from the cloud takes a while, which is why recovering them from the original drive is usually faster and more complete. The best data recovery is the backup you never need to use. The Australian Cyber Security Centre has free, plain-English guidance on backing up and restoring your files at cyber.gov.au.

Frequently asked questions
The camera says the card is corrupt mid-shoot. What do I do?
Take the card out, lock the write-protect tab if it has one, and do not format it in the camera. Shoot on a spare card and have the corrupt one assessed — mid-shoot corruption usually recovers well.
Can I just mail my device in?
Yes. Tell us about the device, pay the inspection fee, and we email you an Australia Post label to print plus our lab address (you pay the postage at your nearest outlet). After inspection we send a full list of recoverable files with a fixed quote before any recovery charge.
Will you set up a backup so this never happens again?
Gladly. Once your data is recovered we can configure an automatic local plus cloud backup, and the Australian Cyber Security Centre publishes free guidance at cyber.gov.au if you want to read up first.
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.
