1. A facility for accredited partners to submit their ow2n devices for Data recovery and to have this managed and charged at preferential rates.
2. To provide them with a client referral programme where they can recommend clients to dataLAB and have dataLAB manage the work directly with the client and where appraise pay a commission for the referral.

Your next step?

Call DataLAB now on 0800 328 2522. Please do NOT tamper with the hard drive yourself or let anyone other than an experienced data recovery professional do so as you may make a recovery more difficult or impossible.

The Sunken Ship

Case Study No 3

DataLAB was contacted by a marine electronics vendor.  They were working with a commercial fishing vessel that had partially sunk on a bar, crossing off the west coast of New Zealand in shallow waters. The vessel had a computer on board that stored vital and valuable GPS coordinates for fishing gear that had just been baited and left offshore. 

The ship had taken on a lot of water and the computer was swamped with sandy and corrosive seawater. The system was delivered to DataLAB and we began by removing the hard drive to see just how far corrosion had set in in the days since the ship took on water. We further inspected the inner chamber of the drive using our specialised positive-pressure clean room environment to see if any sea water had penetrated the drive's internals. 

Our client was lucky.  The outer components of the hardware were a write off but the internal chamber had not been breached…just. Our team were able reconstruct the hardware to a point the drive could be cloned and the vital data saved.
