Every line below is a real client, in their own words, from jobs that came through this firm — servers written off by manufacturers, drives shops couldn’t read, deadlines that looked lost. We keep them because they describe the work better than we can: what it feels like on the customer’s side of the counter.
“We had a HP ProLiant server that would not boot up after 2 disks had failed one after the other on an 8 disk setup in a RAID 5 configuration. The system had completed one rebuild and was in the middle of doing a 2nd rebuild when it failed again. HP advised us data was gone. Glasgow Data Recovery recovered 99% of the data for us within 3 days. Very quick service!”
— IT Manager, engineering firm
“A heart stopping process but a great result in the end. We sent our server to 3 other data recovery companies and not one of them could recover what we needed. Step forward Glasgow Data Recovery — sometimes in life you get what you pay for. Highly recommended!”
— Andy McIntosh, Glasgow
“I am an IT Administrator for a local council dept and our main Microsoft Exchange server (6 hard disks in a RAID 6 setup) would not start one day. We got our IT service company in to look at the server and after reinstalling the operating system the data was gone. In a last ditch attempt we contacted Glasgow Data Recovery, who recovered our main Exchange database.”
— IT Administrator, local council
“My Dell PC would not boot up one day. I am a full-time graphic designer and my life was on the PC. I contacted Dell who could not help me, so I contacted Glasgow Data Recovery. All data was recovered within 48 hours so I could meet a client deadline.”
— Graphic designer, Glasgow
“I ran into a spot of bother with my PC which would not start up. I was quoted £900 elsewhere to recover the data. Glasgow Data Recovery recovered my data within 48 hours and for under £300. I was impressed with their expert HDD knowledge.”
— Home user, Glasgow
“Thank you for your hard work. I teach at a secondary school and my hard drive got a knock on my way home from school. All my school notes from the last 5 years had been lost — never mind all the pupils’ recent coursework which needed to be marked! Fantastic service, many thanks.”
— Secondary school teacher
“I dropped my external hard drive and it started making clicking noises. I took the drive to my local computer shop but they could not do anything and recommended Glasgow Data Recovery. They recovered 100% of my data and backed it up for me the way it was before I dropped it.”
— External drive owner, Glasgow
Notice what repeats: the manufacturer said gone, the shop said gone, the first rebuild made it worse — and the data still came home. That’s not magic; it’s method meeting drives before too many “attempts” spend them. The other repeat is the one we’re proudest of: fixed prices that landed where they were quoted. Your job would start the same way theirs did — a free look and a written figure.
Every review above began with a free diagnostic and a fixed written quote — yours would too. Glasgow data recovery reviews are earned one returned drive at a time.
