Hard Drives
Flashback Data offers risk free data recovery services for your desktop, laptop, or external hard drives. Our advanced recovery techniques allow us to repair and recover your critical data from any type of hard drive quickly. Whether you need to recover deleted files, suffered from a computer virus, or have had a full blown hard drive crash, Flashback Data has the solution.
Solid State Drives
With our advanced R&D, we are on the cutting edge when it comes to recovering anything solid state. We were one of the first labs the US to begin working on flash based memory at the chip level. We can recover data from many physical and electronic failures on SSDs as well as severe firmware or controller failures that can occur with many of the complicated devices on the market.
RAID Arrays
With our deep knowledge of how RAID controllers work, combined with years of experience with file system structures and virtualized setups, Flashback Data has had great success in RAID data recovery. We can recover data from any number of drives completely independent of the controller by manually de-striping the array into a single storage unit, and then recovering the data.
Flash Drives
We were one of the first labs in the US to start performing chip-off level flash recoveries. We can recover from logical problems such as deleted files, corrupted partition, and file system damage and we can also recover from physically damaged devices as well. We have seen everything from simple electrical damage, to thumb drives that have been run over by a car.
Mobile Phones and Tablets
With a working device, we can recover deleted SMS messages, pictures, call logs, etc. Deleted records can usually be recovered from iOS devices, but items such as photos, videos, or audio are not recoverable from iOS. Due to enhanced encryption iPhone models 4S and above, data recovery is limited if device is damaged due to water, cracked screen, electrical shorts, or damaged hardware.
HOW CONFIDENT
ARE WE THAT WE
CAN FIX YOUR ISSUE?
Well, unlike the other guys, we offer 24/7 support + a money-back guarantee. In fact, you don’t even pay us until we deliver your data. Which means, if we weren’t great at what we do, we’d have been out of business years ago.
WHAT CAUSES A DRIVE/DISK TO FAIL?
LIQUIDS
We’ve all been there. You set your coffee a little too close to your device — or maybe your phone decided it wanted to hop in the pool for a little summer swim. Suddenly, you are in full panic mode trying to save your electronics. Sometimes, the Pinterest remedies work and sometimes, you need a little help. One thing’s for sure, we beat out a ziploc bag full of rice anyday.
LOGICAL FAILURES
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a flu shot for computer viruses? As with everything, sometimes you can take all of the necessary precautions and external factors create issues that are out of your hands. Operating system errors, viruses and accidents can lead to file system damage.

First and foremost, turn off all power to your computer immediately! If you continue to leave your system running, or try to recover the data yourself, you will lower your chances for a successful recovery significantly. Do not run any software utilities on your computer. Many of these tools will change the structure of the data on your disk and possible cause more damage. Send your media in to a professional who has the tools and proper equipment to ensure a safe recovery. We have seen countless times where people try to recover the data themselves or have a technically inclined friend help, only to cause the drive to become unrecoverable. Please, at least call us first.
Yes we can! A clicking hard drive usually means that your drive has internal mechanical parts that have failed. In order to recover mechanically failed drives, a clean environment is needed. Flashback Data’s recovery lab is equipped with a Class 10 clean environment. The class number refers to the maximum number of airborne particles greater than or equal to one-half of a micron that would be allowed in one cubic foot of clean environment air. Therefore, A Class 10 clean room would not contain more than 10 particles bigger than half a micron in a cubic foot of air.
Contact Flashback Data by calling our toll free number at 1.866.786.5700 or by filling out our online forms (Just click ‘Send your Media’ at the bottom of this page). Package your damaged media in a anti-static bag in a box at least twice the size of the hard drive or media itself. Pack the media with plenty of packing materials to ensure no movement while in transit. When shipping, next-day air service is recommended for the least possibility for damage during transit. Please include your service agreement in the box.
