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. Around Moriarty — including businesses near Moriarty Industrial Estate — we regularly recover office servers, accounting data and shared drives. See RAID recovery and business data recovery.

From dead device to file list: the process

  1. 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.
  2. Get the device to us. Drop in, we collect, or mail it in — whatever suits Moriarty, with no pressure and no obligation at any step.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Hard drives, SSDs and externals

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 Moriarty homes are among the most common jobs we see. More detail: hard drive recovery and SSD recovery.

Remote desktop recovery: no shipping required

If the computer still starts, many Moriarty 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.

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.

Mail-in recovery: the post office does the driving

Plenty of Moriarty 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

Formatted SD cards, corrupted camera cards and snapped USB sticks are everyday recoveries. A re-initialised card usually still holds its photos — stop shooting on it immediately. See USB recovery and SD card recovery.

From the job sheet: a Moriarty recovery

The golden rule of data loss: 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.

Protect your data from the next mishap

Moriarty 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

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.

I dropped my phone in water. What now?

Do not charge it and do not press buttons — power plus moisture equals corrosion. Pop it in a sealed bag (skip the rice myth) and get it assessed quickly; fast action lifts recovery rates dramatically.

Do you recover data in Moriarty?

Yes — we help Moriarty (7307) 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?

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.

The drive is encrypted (BitLocker or FileVault). Is that a problem?

Not if you have the key or password. Encryption is recovered along with the data; without the key, no honest provider can read your files — which is rather the point of encryption.

How much does data recovery cost in Moriarty?

The phone assessment and Quick Quote are free. An inspection fee applies for the lab assessment (from $139, depending on the device and turnaround). You then receive a full list of recoverable files and a fixed recovery quote, so you see exactly what is recoverable before you pay for the recovery.

How long does it take?

Standard turnaround is 15–20 working days after the device arrives. Priority (10–15) and urgent (5–10) options are available — the inspection fee varies with the speed you choose. Simple logical jobs often come back sooner.

Can you prioritise a business server?

Yes. Priority and urgent turnarounds exist for exactly this, and we can often supply interim copies of the most critical files first so the business keeps moving while the full recovery completes.

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.
