Case studies — real recoveries
Not promises: documented operations. Each case sums up the symptom, the laboratory intervention and the measured result. Find the one that resembles your situation — with the technical detail other labs rarely publish.
Symptom, intervention, result.
Dell RAID 5, 3 failed disks
Symptom: power surge; the PERC H730 controller flags 3 disks "Foreign" and won't mount the array.
Intervention: forensic clone, virtual XOR parity reconstruction with no writes to the originals.
Result: 22 TB of accounting data recovered, back up in under 48h.
Accounting firm (38 staff), Namur · detailed study → 100% recoveredMacBook Pro M2, soldered T2 SSD
Symptom: coffee spill, won't power on; soldered SSD and T2 security, drive not extractable.
Intervention: board desoxidation, board-level micro-soldering, read via DFU mode.
Result: 890 GB of ProRes video footage recovered and returned on a new SSD.
Independent filmmaker, Liège 100% recoveredSynology NAS, ransomware
Symptom: eCh0raix attack, all files encrypted and a ransom note.
Intervention: clone of all 4 disks, SHR Btrfs rebuild, exploitation of prior snapshots.
Result: 24 TB recovered via day-before snapshots. No ransom paid.
E-commerce SMB (12 staff), Charleroi 100% recoveredCrushed iPhone 15 Pro
Symptom: run over by a tractor. Bent chassis, cracked board, shattered screen.
Intervention: forensic micro-soldering, A17 Pro processor transplant (CPU swap) onto a donor board.
Result: 100% of contacts, texts, photos and app data.
Farmer, Hainaut 97% recoveredWD 2 TB hard drive, failed heads
Symptom: clicking every 3 s, not detected after an 80 cm drop.
Intervention: head-stack transplant in an ISO 5 cleanroom (same-revision donor), sector-by-sector clone.
Result: 1.94 TB of 2 TB. 4 years of photo archives saved.
Professional photographer, Brussels 94% recoveredDJI Mavic 3 drone microSD
Symptom: 40 m crash. Monolith card not recognized, oxidized contacts, cracked resin.
