Most failed devices in Cradle Mountain are recoverable. Free phone assessment + free Quick Quote — see your file list before you pay.
How SSDs really fail
The flash chips usually survive; it is the controller or its mapping tables that die — from firmware bugs, power loss mid-write, or plain wear. Lab recovery talks to the flash directly or resurrects the controller long enough to read a full image, write-protected throughout.
The TRIM warning
Here is the honest part: SSDs erase deleted data proactively via TRIM, sometimes within minutes. Deleted-file recovery on a healthy SSD is therefore time-critical and occasionally impossible — while failed-SSD recovery (controller faults, dead drives) succeeds far more often. Either way: stop using the drive now.
The process, in four steps
- Free phone assessment — a technician triages it honestly, in minutes.
- Get it to us — drop in, we collect around Cradle Mountain, or mail it in via Australia Post.
- Inspection ($189) — then you receive a full list of recoverable files and a fixed quote.
- You decide — pay for the recovery only after seeing what is recoverable.
Mail-in recovery: the post office does the driving
Plenty of Cradle Mountain 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.
