Highly recommend using east coast recovery as they know exactly what they are doing,My WD passport 2tb had a very light fall and stopped working as my laptop wasn’t picking it up anymore even though the lights still powered up, I tried it in a different pc and laptop but no luck.Louis from data recovery dealt with my issues from start to finish and kept me fully updated Friends and family recommended east coast and i am very happy that I gave it to them as it contained all my memories with videos and pictures of my family and kids and 99.99% of the data was recovered this could have been a lot worse.The 0.01% of videos still now come on but with slight skip but hardly noticeable I recommend anyone reading this that you back up your data to another 2 backups, I learnt this the hard way.Thank you Louis you are a life saver. - 7/06/2020

Great service and very professional. Recovered almost 20 years of photos and videos from my crashed NAS drive for about half the price of the first company I tried. Would definitely recommend. - 3/28/2019

Brilliant. Right next to my favourite Leith shop - the brilliant Weigh 2 Go. They were able to recover all the files off a drive that I had dropped. Even though another shop said it wasn't possible, these guys managed to do it.
Just had to drop it off for their free analysis. After a couple of days they sent me a report that I had to check through which showed all my files that they could recover which I had to accept first. Got all my Data back within 3 days of handing it in which was amazing and a relief. Very professional staff and excellent communication. Keep it up guys! - 3/31/2021

I got in touch with East Coast Data Recovery after I dropped my laptop and the hard drive started clicking. I was in panic as I fear I could lose all my data and most importantly, my recent pictures from my holidays. I went to my local repair shop in Newington first but they couldn't help me. So I took it to PC World who wanted to charge me £80 up front without any guarantee I would get my data back. So finally I called East Coast Data Recovery and they told me to bring the drive to their shop so they could have a look. It took a few days but they got back to me with the list of what they could retrieve from my drive saying if I didn't want it, I could still take the drive back free of charge. Long story short, I got my data with my pictures back and I'm very happy with the service. - 4/10/2018

Just wanted to thank Louis and everyone at East Coast Data Recovery. My laptop of 7 years finally died, taking with it (or so I thought) photos, videos, and documents of sentimental and professional value: holiday photos, uni work, tax info, work for my clients. Stupidly, I’d never backed any of it up. After trying to Google my way out of the problem for about a month, I finally called and spoke to Louis. He did a great job of explaining everything throughout the process despite the technical sophistication of his work. Ultimately - magically - Louis managed to recover something like 98% of my files, and anything that couldn’t be recovered was, fortunately, inconsequential. Incredible work and service - Louis has even given me advice about what hard drives to avoid and the ways I can secure and backup my files going forward. Can’t say enough about how happy and relieved I am. If 6 stars was an option, I’d choose it. Thanks a million - 5/25/2021

When we lost our house in a fire I thought we'd lost 20+ years of digital photography and several hundred CD's worth of music files, but fortunately East Coast took the damaged external drive and very promptly returned everything intact on a new drive. Better service than I could have wished for. Thanks Louis. - 6/21/2021

I had a hard drive fail on me with a last-minute client deadline the following day. Louis was very kind to take time out of his evening after closing to speak with me about the issues I was getting and made a lot more time for me than he needed to.If you're looking for a company that genuinely cares about helping you rather than making a quick £, East Coast Data Recovery is definitely the place to go. - 6/25/2021

Andrew Ramage
Excellent service. Dropped MyPassport hard drive leaving files unreadable. ECDR clearly explained difficulties in recovering data from this drive type and put significant effort into determining the feasibility of extracting the files. They produced a complete file list from the damaged drive and identified costs to recover the files. I decided not to go further and offered to pay for effort already spent. This was declined as the effort was considered part of their 'free consultation'. Highly recommended. - 5/22/2022

Took my faulty hard drive to PC World they advised they "might" be able to get some of my info off it but would charge me £80 for a hard drive & a further £200 to try. But couldn't guarantee I would get anything back. Emailed East Coast Data Recovery, advised to send over the drive & then following initial analysis they would know if anything was recoverable. No charge if nothing recoverable or if i decided not to go ahead. Brilliant service from friendly staff who know their stuff. Thank you Over 6000 files recovered. Such a simple process within 5 days I had all my information back. Highly recommended Cheers ! - 10/12/2017

Rosie from Eastcoast Data Recovery was very helpful and communication from her was excellent. She explained everything that would happen and advised that there was no fee unless they could recover some data. Although the hard drive was badly damaged they managed to recover 5 years worth of precious photos.

Cannot recommend Eastcoast Data Recovery highly enough. Was distraught when I thought I had lost years of photo’s when another company told me my hard drive was ‘dead’. ECDR recovered all the photo’s, communication was great and it was a super fast service. Well worth every penny, back up your back ups people!!! - 5/02/2019

Used East Coast data recovery for my partner who is a teacher and lost loads of resources when two of her drives failed.
Was super impressed with the fast response from them and the care given to the drives, loads of communication back and forth keeping us updated on progress, great news they managed to recover all data and supplied a donor drive to us, sent special delivery and received next day. Very pleased with the service given and will recommend them to anyone who needs help with any data needs. Reasonable priced also.
Top marks to Louis thanks for all your help. - 4/27/2021

This company is fantastic. I'm a teacher and my hard drive just stopped working, I lost several months of work since my last back up. I contacted these guys and told them the issue and I was asked to bring it in so they could take a look. They were up front about potential costs and very reasonable compared to several other companies I contacted. Throughout the process Louis kept me up to date, everything was explained to me clearly and everyone I spoke to was friendly and professional. After a day or so they confirmed that they had managed to recover all my data and I just had to provide a new drive or cloud to put it all on (or they can provide one at cost price). Really happy with the service and they have saved me months of remaking resources. I would highly recommend them. - 11/10/2021

They offered to investigate the issue free of charge, found that they could help and then very quickly got me sorted. 99.9% recovery for 1.4TB. A real lifesaver to save cherished memories. The staff were really nice and helpful too with lots of communication on progress. Also very careful covid precautions. Great all round, and a local business. - 6/28/2021
