Where we work · Hythe
Data recovery for Hythe. Process data, port data, and the drive in the spare room.
Hythe and Dibden sits on the Waterside with Fawley to the south and Marchwood to the north, the A326 threading all three together off the M27. Hythe counted 20,526 people at the 2011 Census. There is no passenger railway on this shore, which is why work reaching our bench from SO45 arrives as a parcel.

What Hythe and the Waterside send.
Not listed? Try the fault finder →| The complaint | Why it happens here | First step |
|---|---|---|
| A contractor's laptop after a Fawley shutdown | Inspection notes, method statements and site photographs, all on one machine | The drive travels; the laptop stays at home |
| A logistics PC in a Marchwood office | Vehicle movements, customs paperwork and warehouse records kept in one place | Recovery ours, rebuild yours |
| A boatyard's shared disks that stopped mounting | Job sheets, hull records and customer files on a small RAID set | Power it down and label the bays |
| A camera card filled up along the pier | Hythe Pier reopened in April 2026 and the photographs began again | Always image first |
| An external drive off a damp garage shelf | Salt air works on an enclosure board long before the platters mind | Do not dry it out yourself — send it as it is |
How a Hythe job runs, end to end.
Hythe questions, straight answers.
Do you cover Fawley and Marchwood as well as Hythe?
Yes — SO45 at Hythe and Fawley, SO40 at Marchwood, and the parishes strung along the A326 between them. Everything moves by tracked post, so no Waterside address sits further from the bench than another.
Contract work has stopped without that drive. Can it be hurried?
Say so on the first call. A halted job goes first into the imaging queue and is worked straight through the day, and the written figure reaches you before anything is opened rather than after.
The camera calls the card corrupt. Are the pictures gone?
Usually not. On most corrupt cards the pictures are sitting intact beneath a broken file structure, and a formatted card holds them until fresh frames are written over the top. Put the card away now.
Posting a drive from the Waterside — how should it be packed?
Tracked and insured, padded on every side, with the printed shipping form inside. Send the drive, not the machine — though a NAS unit may be sent whole, while a server or RAID set goes as bare disks, each labelled by bay.
