GU34 · Alton and Four Marks

Data recovery, Alton. GU34 drives, from Omega Park to Chawton.

The population of the built-up area of Alton was 17,874 residents as reported by the 2021 Census. Alton is the last stop on the Alton line and provides train services to London Waterloo; however, there are no direct services heading south. To reach Southampton you will need to make a change, typically at Woking, or take the A31 west via Alresford and Winchester to get onto the M3. There are four industrial areas that provide a base for over one hundred businesses between them: Mill Lane, Newman Lane, Caker Stream and Omega Park.

An Alton job, in order.

Records that have to lastTreloar School and Treloar College at Holybourne support approximately 170 children and young people who range in age from four through to twenty-five. The teams supporting those students also include assistive technologists. Student settings and learner records of that nature cannot be recreated from memory.
A line that ends hereThe Watercress Line is a registered charity (No. 284406) which runs services between Alton and New Alresford; it links into the national rail network at Alton station. Both the digitised archive of the Watercress Line and its ticketing are based on ordinary disks like everyone else's.

Alton, four short answers.

Is there an Alton office?

No, and here is why: one good bench is better than many counters, and a drive that needs to be disassembled is opened at our bench instead of somewhere in a back room. First get a quote, by phone or with the form. Then hand yours to a post office in GU34, or drop it off at the Guildford intake laboratory, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment needed, and we begin the complimentary diagnosis the morning it arrives.

There is no direct train south. Does that matter here?

It doesn't matter to a parcel. Since Alton is the last stop on its own branch, you will have to change trains in order to get to Southampton (usually at Woking), and if travelling by road it's via the A31 through Alresford and Winchester to join the M3. A padded box needs neither route.

Can a RAID set be read without its controller?

Yes. Here all arrays are rebuilt from images of the member disks, so no matching hardware needs to be found. First get a quote, either by phone or with the form. Then post every disk, including the ones the box flagged as failed, and leave the rebuild option untouched.

Is it worth ringing before we post anything?

Ring, and for two minutes describe the fault and what relies on it. This conversation determines which disks will be removed, how they will be labelled and how the parcel is made up, before anything is unplugged.

Quote first, then one parcel out of Alton, and the bench starts.

Turn it off. Explain what went wrong. Get a free diagnosis before you make any commitments.
