The Best Data Recovery Companies in Dublin

Without further ado, let’s get started with our review of Dublin’s best data recovery companies!

1.   CriticalData

SERVICES	Data recovery, backup tape services, Blancco Erasure, and control system services
WEBSITE	https://www.criticaldata.ie/
ADDRESS	Unit 719, Northwest Business Park – Phase 4, Kilshane Way, Ballycoolin, Dublin 15, D15DX33
CONTACT DETAILS	+353 1 8612280 1890 237 100 (LoCall) +353 87 2643487 (Emergency service) [email protected]
OPERATING HOURS	9:30 am to 5:30 am (Monday – Friday)

Security and equipment is key to successful data recovery, that’s why we included CriticalData on this list, among other things.

One of the things we like about CriticalData is that it doesn’t charge any diagnostic fees for single hard drives. We think that it’s a thoughtful and sensitive gesture on their part to enable customers to have their devices checked without having to pay.

This data recovery company has its own Class-100 cleanroom laboratory for handling physically damaged devices. As proof, they provide a virtual tour of this lab on their website.

This assures clients that their devices are handled by CriticalData’s technicians and won’t be sent to another company. Also, they’re registered with the Data Protection Commissioner of Ireland and can provide non-disclosure agreements (NDA) or sign their client’s own NDA.

Moreover, we found the list of devices CriticalData can recover data from to be extensive as well. This list covers hard drives, servers, USBs, and more, including somewhat outdated media such as floppy disks and tapes.

CriticalData also offers other services related to data. They erase and dispose of data and provide control system services.

And as earlier mentioned, they extract data from tapes. Such services enable them to cater to not just individuals but to bigger clients such as businesses and other sectors.

Customer Reviews

CriticalData has earned plenty of 5 stars from its clients. Take a look at some of their feedback below:

“Just incredibly professional . We contacted these guys 5:30 PM Friday on a bank holiday weekend . Not only did they pick up but Ronan waited around until 6:30 PM (staying back after close) AND worked on the drive the next day (when they are usually closed) . Works continued into Sunday when AGAIN Ronan met us late on a Saturday evening . These guys simply go above and beyond what is expected. Very reasonably priced. If you’re having issues look no further . A credit to the profession.” –Mohammed Emin Shirin

“I can highly recommend critical data services. They explain you all very precisely and guide you through the process with updates. I wish more businesses and public services would have their communication skills. They are professional, friendly and, not to forget, recovered my precious data. Thanks, guys! Claudia.” -C K

“Absolutely first class service, great bunch of guys who really know their stuff.” -Tom Fitzpatrick

Established in 2007, Drive Rescue is another company whose services are centred on data recovery.

Meanwhile, they price their services based on 3 levels of recovery: basic, standard, and advanced.

Customer Reviews

One of Data Recovery Ireland’s clients have used their services twice and left positive remarks regarding both instances:

“I first used Data Recovery 6 years ago and was amazed they were able to recover all the data from 2 failed HD’s, one of which had literally gone up in smoke in a local repair shop. So when my daughter’s laptop failed and the local repair shop said there was nothing on the hard drive I had no hesitation in getting it down to the team at Data Recovery. Within a week my daughter received a memory pen in the post and said that everything is there that she can remember, or more importantly, needs. Staff were very approachable and helpful. Their service worth every penny.” -Pamela Smyth

5.   Right-Click

SERVICES	Computer repairs, computer products, data recovery, and I.T. support services

OPERATING HOURS	9:00 am to 5:30 pm (Monday – Thursday) 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (Friday)

If you need computer repairs aside from data recovery, we’d recommend Right-Click. Based in Dublin 2, Right-Click provides computer repairs and I.T support services and also supplies a wide range of computer hardware, hard drives, accessories, printers, and other products.

The repairs they carry out include SSD upgrades, liquid spill repairs, screen and battery replacement, virus removal, and many more. Right-Click also offers Microsoft Office 365 migrations, hardware and software installations as well as assistance concerning GDPR compliance, among other services.

Regarding their data recovery services, Right-Click handles the following devices: USB memory sticks, external hard drives, memory cards, SD cards, micro SD, MMC, compact flash, Apple Mac hard disk drives (laptop 2.5″, desktop 3.5), server SAS, RAID drives, and solid-state drives (SSD).

Moreover, they’ve given a price range for their data recovery services, so you can already get an idea of how much their services are without asking for a quote.

Right-Click charges €49 to €200 for level 1 data recovery and €300 and more for level 2 data recovery.

Unfortunately, they don’t handle more advanced levels of data recovery, such as full recovery on physically damaged drives. They can, however, recommend a specialist to do the job.

Another thing we noticed is the limitations in the storage systems they handle as they don’t carry out data extractions for devices such as CDs and tapes.

Still, if your computer needs other repairs aside from data recovery, Right-Click can be a one-stop-shop solution for you.

Customer Reviews

Aside from their other services, customers have also left reviews on Right-Click’s data recovery. Read what they had to say:

“I recently found myself with the potential loss of terabytes of data on a harddrive. From the moment I got in store the staff were incredibly supportive and helpful.

Not only did I get all my data recovered within the day, but they called me once they had analysed the drive to put my mind at ease and let me know that they would be able to sort it and how soon I could expect to have it done. . .” -Mark Sheridan

Customer Reviews

Here is a review from their client:

“Fantastic service. I was struggling with original dealer’s warranty service for a couple of months and finally gave up and sent it to IT Clinic. They fixed it within a few days. Absolutely recommended.“

Here is another one:

“My laptop wouldn’t turn on again so I took it to their shop and the service was amazing! Robert was very nice and they figured out what the problem with the laptop was asap and told me what the options are without pushing me towards the decision that would benefit them the most. I also asked them to do the data recovery for my SSD, which was not damaged and left my laptop there again. But soon after I left the shop I changed my mind because I did not want to spend that much money and rather wanted to try it myself. Robert was not mad at me when I entered the shop soon after and told him I changed my mind, which I really appreciate. This is how you treat your customers. On top of all of that, they weren’t gonna charge me for anything, since they “only” figured out what the problem was. Top notch shop, both Robert and John are super nice people, this is the place to go if you have a computer related problem or even emergency.”
