We’ve helped thousands of customers recover lost data from:
Hard Drive Data Recovery – Expert recovery from drives with mechanical failure or logical corruption.
SSD Data Recovery – Advanced tools to recover data from physically or electronically failed SSDs.
External Hard Drive Data Recovery – Recovering data from non-detected, clicking, or accidentally dropped external drives.
Every recovery is handled by experienced engineers using safe and proven methods.
1. Free Evaluation
We begin by diagnosing your device to identify the problem and determine the best recovery strategy—completely free of charge.
2. Secure Imaging
A sector-by-sector clone of your storage device is created to protect the original data from further damage during the recovery process.
3. Advanced Scanning
Our engineers scan the cloned image using professional tools to locate lost files, partitions, and file structures.
4. Data Extraction & Repair
We extract all recoverable data and, if needed, repair damaged files to ensure they’re usable and complete.
5. File Review & Delivery
You preview the recovered files, and once approved, we deliver your data on a new drive or via a secure transfer method.
A Hollywood film editor reached out after their external hard drive stopped showing up. It contained over 2TB of raw footage, edited timelines, and sound libraries for an indie film nearing its premiere. Our diagnostics revealed a mechanical failure caused by a drop, and our engineers performed a clean room head swap followed by a full clone of the drive.
Using deep scan tools, we successfully recovered all critical files in their original structure. The client received their data just in time to meet their deadline — and later thanked us during their post-screening Q&A. They admitted they had lost all hope before finding our lab. Now, we’re the first call they make for any data-related emergency on set. The successful recovery saved not only the project, but also the client’s reputation with investors and the production team.
“My hard drive failed right before a big deadline, and I was in full panic mode. I called Five Star Data Recovery, and to my surprise, they offered same-day pickup from my apartment in Hollywood. Within days, I had all my files back — including my client’s entire photo shoot. Incredible service from start to finish.”

“As a music producer, losing sessions is my worst nightmare. My RAID failed without warning, and I had no backup. The team at Five Star diagnosed it quickly and explained everything clearly. They got 100% of my files back, and the turnaround was quicker than expected. Highly recommend them!”

“I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews, I gave them a shot. My external SSD stopped working after a drop, and no software could read it. These guys recovered every single file — including my tax documents, family videos, and work archives. Their service was worth every penny.”
