I just had my data recovered by Mike and his team and I can now say they did an awesome job! Because of a faulty SD card I lost all the memories of a journey abroad. MjM recovered all the data for a very fair price compared with other competitors (I sent 5 RFQs total) and in a glimpse! Moreover, Mike is very responsive and helpful, that was the best customer experience I ever had. I definitely recommend, other comments don't lie!

A failed 3TB external hard drive, which had been previously unsuccessfully recovered by another data recovery company, was resurrected by MjM so effectively that every single file has been recovered. Quite amazing and for a price that is lower than many others. I would not hesitate to recommend MjM to anyone with a data recovery problem. Many thanks.

I sent a Sophos Safeguard encrypted laptop drive to MJM as the internal processes used in my company for recover were unsuccessful. Due to this I had significant worries that the data would not be recoverable but after sending MJM a token file and going through a challenge/response they were able to recover everything needed. Fantastic communication throughout. Will certainly be using again in the future if required.

I sent MJM my memory stick as it was 'dead'; it had suddenly stopped working. I have never been in this predicament before, so I started to search the web for a data recovery company I could trust. Having contacted four data recovery companies, I decided to choose MJM as they came across as genuine, professional and reasonable in price. MJM managed to recover my data, and I was so pleased as this saved me hours of work. The whole process of me sending the memory stick to MJM and receiving a new memory stick with my recovered data, took about four days. I am pleased with MJM's service.

I work for a well known and respectable IT Services company in the North East of England, and we have used MJM Data Recovery Services as our data recovery specialists for the last 6 years. We would not use anyone else now, as we have found them to be both very reliable, trustworthy and efficient in what they do and the services they provide. In my opinion, a first class company who I wholeheartedly recommend.

Several years ago I had to recover data from drives RAID configured drives that were in a Netgear home NAS box. MJM had terrible trouble getting the data back due to the non-standard method Netgear had decided to use. They went out and bought the same box and reverse engineered a solution! It took a long time but they did get the data back. With the cost of the NAS factored in, I doubt they made much profit from that particular job either. I have used them ever since. Friendly, very knowledgeable and will to go the full mile.

After my hard drive with several years of treasured photos got damaged I was thinking the worst. Within a day of contacting this company they delivered me the good news that all the information was recoverable. They were very friendly, their service was extremely fast and communication faultless. I would definitely recommend them. Their were no hidden fees just a fixed price. They also made me realise how important it is to back up all important information in more than one place, which may seem obvious to most, but I had to learn the hard way. Thank you for putting a smile back on my face.

After a hard disk failure, I was concerned by the risks posed by many of the data recovery specialists I contacted. I chose MJM because they charge a reasonable fixed price, and because they are relatively local. They were polite and efficient, and retrieved my precious data quickly. I couldn't ask for more.

Following a failure on one of my QNAP Archive devices I was unable to connect to the LUNs on the device. MJM were called and quickly put me at ease with their professional and confident response. After sending the device to them on a Friday I was called on the Monday to be told they had recovered my data and had it on a portable hard drive for me. Payment was arrange and my device and the portable drive returned to me. I couldn't have asked for a better service and at a price that far outstripped a well known competitor!

I have been using MJM for the last 10 years and they always provide a fast professional service. They always do there best to get the data recovered but sometimes the disks can be too damaged but they never charge for any parts or time on these few occasions.
