Arkansas covers rice fields in the Delta, poultry country in the northwest and a corporate corridor that serves some of the largest supply chains in the world. What links them is that the useful records are often held close to the work, on a machine in a shed, an office or a truck. When that machine fails, there is rarely a second copy. That is generally the point at which people call us.
The retail supply chain built around northwest Arkansas has created a dense population of supplier analysts, brokers and marketing agencies, and their working archives of forecasts, planograms and reporting sit on local machines far more often than anyone admits. Poultry and food processing generate traceability, inspection and cold chain records that regulators expect to be produced on demand. Trucking and logistics firms hold dispatch histories, telematics exports and driver records. Out in the Delta, rice, soybean and cotton growers now run guidance systems, soil sampling and yield mapping, which means several seasons of irreplaceable field data on a laptop that lives in a pickup. Steel production in the northeast, timber in the south and the medical campus in Little Rock each add their own long-lived record sets to the picture.
Arkansas gets a difficult mix. Spring and autumn bring tornadoes and straight-line winds, and ice storms periodically coat the state and pull down power lines for days, which means hard shutdowns and surges when supply returns. Flooding along the Arkansas and Mississippi river systems reaches ground floor offices. Summers are humid enough that unconditioned storage rooms stay damp. The northeast corner also sits within the New Madrid seismic zone, a real if infrequent hazard.
The lab is roughly 1,100 miles from Little Rock. Because Arkansas has good freight coverage through Memphis and the northwest corner, a prepaid UPS Express label collected from a rural address usually joins the air network the same evening. We do not quote a delivery day, since weather across the plains genuinely affects it, but we do confirm receipt the moment the drive is booked in.
Often yes. A NAS with more than one failed member is beyond what the box itself can rebuild, but recovery works differently. We image each disk individually, including the failed ones, then reconstruct the array parameters from the data rather than trusting the controller. We charge 450 dollars a drive to assess a multi-disk unit, and that sum comes off the recovery price in full if you continue. Do not let the unit attempt another rebuild in the meantime.
On qualifying cases, if we cannot recover the files you told us mattered, you do not pay the recovery fee. It is not a loophole about partial results. We agree with you beforehand what a successful outcome looks like, whether that is a folder, a database or a set of images, and you judge the result against that list. Return shipping and any diagnostic terms are set out before work begins, so there is nothing to discover afterwards.
Every case gets the same lab, the same engineers and the same guarantee. The only thing that changes is where your drive sits in the queue.
Most cases are back with the client inside a few days. Complex mechanical and RAID work can take two to three weeks. You get a specific timeline with your assessment results, before you approve anything.
Your systems are down and every hour is costing you. A crashed array, a production server offline, a court deadline this week. Your drive goes to the front of the queue and stays in production around the clock, nights and weekends included, until it is finished.

Start Emergency Case →Request a free prepaid UPS shipping label. Your device is fully insured in transit. We cover the shipping cost so you can focus on what matters: getting your data back. Most devices arrive at our lab within 1 to 2 business days from anywhere in Arkansas.
Your device enters our Tier 3 ISO Class 100 cleanroom and is diagnosed by a trained engineer, not a software scan. We identify the exact failure mode, confirm whether your case qualifies for the No Data, No Charge* guarantee, and send you a clear written quote before any recovery work begins. You approve the quote or you walk away. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure.
Once recovery is complete we send you the full file list to check. Your data comes back on an encrypted drive or by secure transfer, whichever you prefer. Every copy is deleted from our systems once you confirm receipt. The original drive is not returned: it is physically destroyed within 48 hours, so no copy of your data exists anywhere but with you.
Most data recovery labs won't put this in writing. We do, because our 96% success rate, our Tier 3 cleanroom, and 17 years of engineering depth mean we're confident enough to stand behind every qualifying case we take.
Which cases qualify. Clicking drives, dropped drives, drives that won't spin, drives that aren't detected, covered. Most of what comes through our lab is. A few categories are Non-Guaranteed instead (no refund once work begins), because the work is harder to guarantee: fire damage, previously-opened drives, encrypted drives, forensic cases, phones, and a short list of end-of-life models.

See what our clients say about getting their data back.
Great to work with, Paul kept me updated throughout the entire process and they were able to recover all of our data from a failed RAID array on our NAS. They worked with us every step of they way without being patronizing like a lot of tech places tend to be.
Great service. Great results recovering photos I had deemed lost
Data recovery team really helped with my clicking hard drive! Got all my work and pictures back!! Plus my UWO discount was appreciated!!!
The support that the team gave me was thorough and timely! My data was recovered in a single interaction. Awesome !
Data Recovery Group was an amazing help!! They were fast, professional and able to recovery all our data!! Customer Service was fantastic! Would 100% recommend. - Jim & Melanie
Amazing help fixed a drive that was dead for me and saved my school semester! Thanks guys !
Amazing help was able to Quickly recover a dead harddrive that I thought was a gonner. Amazing service
My External Hard Drive With all my clients files Crashed, Nine years of records could not be accessed, I could not work without those records. DRG recovered them in 24 hrs getting me back in business by Monday morning. They were responsive and understanding. Thank goodness I called them.
Pat and Data Recovery Group helped retrieve my parents photos from a crashed hard drive over the holidays in an incredibly quick and safe manner. Highly recommend if you find yourself In this unfortunate situation. Thanks Pat!
Highly recommend Data Recovery Group. Very professional & extremely helpful, all of my data was recovered and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. Don't think twice if you have a dead drive with lost information. Thank you once again for the recovery of my data.
Though a broken external hard drive is a horrible thing to happen, the team (especially Paul) at Data Recovery group made it the most positive experience. They were exceptional fast and responsive, and recovered data that I was sure was gone forever. Compared to the big box stores, I believe I wound up paying less and had my files back in 2 days vs. the 4 to 8 weeks I was quoted from the other guys. I hope I never encounter a broken hard drive situation again, but if lightning strikes twice I know who to call right away!
I am extremely happy with the service I received with Data Recovery Group. My laptop dropped from just a foot high and wouldn't turn on completely. It just kept saying "repairing". I called Asus and they recommended I have my data backed up before attempting to fix anything. I was very fearful of losing my children's pictures (foolishly not backed up) and I wouldn't trust just any company to help me out. After chatting with Paul I felt reassured I had called the right place with the best ability to help me out. My hard drive was damaged and they were successful in recovering most of my pictures which I am beyond thankful for! Paul has great communication skills and kept in contact with me throughout the process and helped me to copy my pictures from my new external hard drive he made me onto my new computer. He took the time to educate me on how to keep my pictures regularly backed up going forward. If you have anything very important to you I say don't take a chance going anywhere else!!
Our Tier 3 cleanroom in Sheridan, Wyoming is one of the most controlled data recovery environments in the United States. ISO Class 100 means fewer than 100 airborne particles per cubic foot, the same standard used in semiconductor manufacturing and surgical operating rooms. This level of cleanliness is not optional for hard drive recovery. A single particle of dust on an exposed platter can destroy data permanently.
Every hard drive, RAID array, SSD, and flash device that enters our facility is processed inside this environment by trained engineers wearing full cleanroom protective equipment. We control airflow, temperature, humidity, and electrostatic discharge at every stage of the recovery process.
Our lab has been operational since 2009, serving clients across all 50 states. We have recovered data from over 10,000 storage devices, from single personal hard drives to multi-drive enterprise RAID arrays containing terabytes of mission-critical business data.
If your device is clicking, not detected, or physically damaged. Power it off and step away from it. One call to a real engineer, 15 to 20 minutes, and you'll know exactly where you stand. No sales pressure. No obligation.
Start Emergency Case →Tell the engineer what happened. You will know in 15 minutes what it costs, whether it is recoverable, and what to do with the drive tonight.
