In today’s digital age, our computers contain incredibly valuable information. We need to safeguard this, of course, but when these safeguards fail you need to trust the professionals to recover your data for you, lest it be lost forever.
When we talk about your data we are talking about your personal files, documents and photos.
The general causes of data loss are hardware failures, software malfunctions and human error.
Data on your device is either stored on a hardware part called a hard-disk drive (HDD) or a solid-state drive (SSD).
This is important. Data recovery needs to be taken seriously because if it is done incorrectly your important data can be lost forever, for good, permanently, good-bye.
We have 20 years experience in data recovery and over this time we have continued to learn and expand our knowledge. For every data loss scenario we have studied how the data can be recovered safely and securely.
We would always recommend that you back up your data wherever you can, whether that be another external drive or to a digital medium such as iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox.
Free diagnosis
We recommend this for any situation where your device is behaving abnormally. Our diagnosis is completely free and it allows our highly skilled specialists to isolate the exact issue and why your data has been lost. This step of the process will take no longer than 24 working hours.

Hard drives due to this nature they are more susceptible to damage from being knocked or dropped. Alternatively can easily over heat.
When your hard drive does it make a ticking or buzzing noise? This could be a sign that your hard drive has been bumped or dropped. Is your drive not recognised by your computer or is it running unusually slowly? Then this might indicate that your hard drive is over heating.
What should you do? Well firstly we will tell you what you shouldn’t do! Don’t attempt to keep using your hard drive and definitely don’t attempt to run a repair utility. What you should do is bring it to one of our data recovery specialists Caldicot at NiwTech and let us diagnose the issue, give you a quote and then if you’re happy we will go ahead and retrieve your important, lost data.
The data recovery process scans for lost files on your data storage hardware component and retrieves them. When data is lost, generally the references of the deleted files are removed, making them inaccessible, but not overwritten completely. This is what makes the data recovery process possible.
Don’t worry, you are not the first person and you definitely will not be the last. This likely means that although you have deleted the file itself, the drive will not have wiped the actual file content until the storage space is reused for saving a new file. When files are overwritten on a HDD can be more difficult to recover, depending on the age of the HDD. SSDs store data differently than HDDs so it can often be an easier process to recover overwritten data from SSDs.
This procedure creates empty file system structures on the storage and overwrites any information after that. If the new files and old files are of the same structure then the new files replace the old system structures. If the files differ than they are written to different disk locations and may wipe the data of the old files.
This is called logical damage. If the operating system critically malfunctions in such a way that even the smallest piece of incorrectly written data occurs this can make the entire file unreadable. The advantage of this type of data loss (yes, there is a positive to this situation) is that there is no actual damage to the drive itself, therefore the chances of data recovery are high.
Modern operating systems divide the entire physical hard drive into several parts- “partitions”. Each of these has very specific data such as the name, size, date/time, file system type and the exact physical location on the disk. If by user error any part of this important data is deleted then there can be a miscommunication where the computer is unable to find the file.
HDDs are incredibly sensitive and the slightest knock or build-up of dust can cause problems. Tell-tale signs that your HDD is about to fail are unusual noise such as whirring or clicking, overheating problems booting. Alternatively, there could have been some physical or liquid damage.
Data recovery is the process of recover lost data from a storage device such as a HDD. Data can be lost when it becomes inaccessible, corrupt, physically damaged or formatted.
Data recovery is possible via specialist software used by skilled technicians with a lot of experience as it is a delicate process.
The cost of the data recovery process depends on the type and age of the device that the data is being retrieved from.
Your personal documents and files are important to you. It could be school work or treasured memories, each holds it own personal significance. Very few people want to see these lost forever and that is why NiwTech Wales has created a service that has been perfected over the years to retrieve data from all kinds of hardware devices.

Our NiwTech data recovery specialists have an excellent data recovery success rate. Most data recovery experts would agree that the success rate highly depends on the condition of the system and the mechanism of the loss. At NiwTech we like to add that is also depends on the skills of the engineers performing the recovery, which is why we are so effective.

Yes, but there are certain limitations to this. Without being too technical, technology known as SSD TRIM means that recovery from this type of SSD is virtually impossible. However, we always try to recover data from every device we deal with.
