Data Recovery Tool

The Data Recovery Tool analyzes device type, capacity, symptoms, and optional diagnostics to suggest a recovery pathway. It helps IT pros and labs decide whether imaging, firmware work, or direct salvage offers the best balance of odds and cost.
By mapping common failure modes to historical outcomes, it provides a probability estimate and a practical time range for the chosen approach. The concept is to isolate the recovery question into a domain of hardware-centric steps, avoiding blind trial-and-error and preserving evidence integrity.
The tool prioritizes safety by flagging high-risk scenarios and recommending escalation to specialized equipment or vendor intervention when needed. It supports HDD, SATA, SAS, NVMe, and RAID contexts by offering tailored guidance and clear next steps that fit real-world lab workflows.
Outputs are designed to integrate with lab workflows and client communications, enabling technicians to prepare imaging plans, clone orders, and stepwise recovery playbooks. Use cases cover devices with unreadable sectors, firmware quirks, or suspected head damage, and RAID-backed volumes requiring coordinated strategies.
