Toshiba MG series drives are large-capacity enterprise drives used in servers and NAS units, including helium-filled models.
Which model do you have?

Common faults we fix
- Drive failed in a server or NAS array
- Clicking or not spinning
- Not detected
- Several drives failing
What we recover
- Clicking, beeping or not spinning drives (cleanroom head replacement)
- Drives not detected or showing the wrong size (firmware repair)
- Bad sectors and slow, failing drives (imaging)
- Deleted, formatted or corrupted partitions
Before you bring it in
Don't rebuild, re-initialise or swap disks around. Label each drive with its bay number, power the unit down and bring all the drives in. A rebuild onto a failing disk is the most common way RAID data is lost for good.

The free consultation tells you whether the fault is physical or logical and the best way to recover your data. It doesn't include opening the drive in the cleanroom or any recovery attempt.
If a physical recovery needs a donor drive for parts, we send you a link to buy the exact match from donordrives.com. If you'd rather we buy it for you, we add 30% plus any import charges and VAT.
We can supply an external drive to return your recovered data on. The price depends on the market rate at the time.
