Since 2001, family owned
More than two decades recovering Australian data. Free phone assessment for Table Cape.
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 Table Cape, with clear updates while the work happens. 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.
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 write-protected imaging; physical failures are opened in our Class 100 cleanroom. Dropped externals from Table Cape homes are among the most common jobs we see. More detail: hard drive recovery and SSD 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.
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.
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.
Too far from us? Mail in your device
Plenty of Table Cape 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.

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.
Details: USB recovery and SD card recovery.

Frequently asked questions
The computer will not start but I just need the files. Do I fix the computer first?
No — data first, repairs second. We image the storage before any repair work so your files are safe no matter what happens to the machine. One visit can cover both.
How much does data recovery cost in Table Cape?
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.
Can you recover my files remotely?
Often, yes — if the computer still runs. Deleted documents, missing folders and lost emails (Outlook PST and OST included) are routinely recovered over a secure remote session while you watch. Failing hardware is the exception: a clicking or undetected drive must come to the lab, because remote work on dying hardware makes things worse.
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.
Do you recover data in Table Cape?
Yes — we help Table Cape (7325) 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.
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.
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.
Protect your data from the next mishap
Table Cape 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.
