View ServiceYou do not need to be local to work with Aesonlabs. Failed hard drives, SSDs, RAID members, flash media and other storage devices can be shipped to us for professional evaluation and recovery.
We also accept previously attempted and complex recovery cases, making mail-in service a practical option when the right technical capability is more important than proximity.
Every case is approached according to the device, its condition and the type of data loss involved.
Recovery procedures are selected according to the actual condition of the storage media rather than applying the same process to every case.
We welcome difficult recoveries, including devices that have been previously attempted, declined elsewhere or require additional engineering time.
Our Mississauga facility supports professional diagnostics, hardware recovery procedures and cleanroom work when internal drive access is required.
We explain the condition of the media, the available recovery options and realistic expectations before recovery work proceeds.
From initial submission to the return of recovered files.
Tell us about the device, the failure and the data you need recovered.
Send your media to our facility or arrange a local drop-off appointment.
We determine the failure and establish the appropriate recovery strategy.
Recoverable files are extracted and returned according to the arrangements for your case.
A previous unsuccessful attempt or a difficult failure does not automatically mean the data is gone. We welcome cases that require additional diagnostics, engineering time or a second look.
