Data recovery in Vilnius
Lost photos, documents or business files? I recover data from HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, NAS and RAID systems after accidental deletion or storage failure.
Musninkų g. 6, Vilnius · By appointment
HDD / SSDlogical and physical faults
RAID / NAScomplex storage systems
Urgent casesavailability and timeframe agreed individually
Important: if the drive makes unusual noises, disappears from the system or has been dropped, avoid repeatedly powering it on.
What files do you need back?
02 · Work and study
Documents and projects
Work documents, spreadsheets, drawings, study materials and other important files.
03 · For businesses
Accounting files and business archives
Accounting files, project archives and shared documents on drives, NAS or RAID systems.
When can I help?
The approach depends on the storage type and what happened to it.
01 · HDD
Hard drives
HDD not detected, slow, freezing or making unusual noises. I also assess bad sectors and other physical faults.
02 · SSD
SSD and NVMe
The drive is no longer detected by BIOS, the OS will not boot, files are inaccessible or the storage is unstable.
03 · RAID / NAS
RAID and NAS systems
Damaged RAID configuration, errors on multiple disks or inaccessible NAS data.
04 · USB / SD
USB drives and memory cards
A USB drive or card is wet, broken, not detected or inaccessible due to file system damage.
05 · Logical faults
Deleted files and formatted storage
Accidentally deleted files, formatted drives, damaged file systems or missing partitions.
06 · Unusual cases
More complex situations
Previous attempts did not give the result you needed, or you want a second opinion? I can assess these cases too.
Data recovery using donor parts
A physically damaged HDD may require donor parts. Depending on the fault, I replace the head assembly or adapt the electronics.
01 · Compatibility
Selecting a donor drive
I select a donor by model, drive family, head configuration and other technical parameters. Matching capacity alone is not enough.
02 · Mechanical faults
Head assembly replacement
I replace faulty read/write heads with a compatible donor assembly. Strict cleanliness is essential, and the condition of the platter surfaces affects the outcome.
03 · Electronic faults
PCB and ROM data
I assess whether to repair the PCB or replace it. When adapting donor electronics, I transfer the original ROM data and individual parameters if needed.
The outcome depends on the damage and previous reading attempts. Full recovery cannot be guaranteed.
Need your data urgently?

From my workshop
Data recovery work in practice
Photographs from my work: SSD recovery, HDD diagnostics and cases requiring donor parts.
WD Green SSD: successful software-based data recovery
Data was recovered from a WD Green 480 GB SATA SSD using a specialist adapter for connection and software for recovery.

SATA HDD recovery: heads, mechanical parts and software
This group of SATA hard drives required head replacement, mechanical work and software recovery. The success rate for these cases was 85%.

Laptop HDDs: 92% of required data recovered
These drives had a stuck head, a controller fault and software recovery cases. Overall, 92% of required data was recovered; one drive could not be recovered.

Data recovery from HDDs, SATA, NVMe and Apple SSDs
The photographs show specific hard drive and SSD recovery cases: diagnosis, connection to specialist equipment and data reading.
Read the full story →How the work is carried out
Four main stages, from the first conversation to delivery of recovered files.
Step 1Initial conversationWe discuss what happened, the device type and symptoms. You identify the most important data.
Step 2DiagnosticsI diagnose the damage and prepare an appropriate sequence of actions.
Step 3Agreeing the workWe agree the stages and cost, including donor parts if needed. I begin only with your approval.
Step 4RecoveryWhere technically possible, I first image the storage device. I recover files from the copy, check the result and prepare it for delivery.
Frequently asked questions
What determines the recovery price?
The fault, media condition, reading complexity and need for donor parts.
Should I try recovery myself?
Recovery software may help with logical errors on healthy storage. If a drive disappears, freezes, makes noises or has many bad sectors, further attempts may worsen its condition.
Do you work with business data?
Yes. I accept business drives, NAS, RAID and other storage containing accounting documents, projects and other important files.
What if a specialist laboratory is needed?
I first explain why a specialist laboratory is needed, then agree the next steps with you.
