Newport is the county town; Ryde, Cowes and East Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin and Yarmouth ring it, and postcodes run PO30 to PO41.

Arrays, NAS boxes and bay orderSend a NAS unit whole if you like, and an external in its own case the same way. Disks behind a controller come out first, each marked for its own bay.

Many thanks to the Southampton Data Recovery engineers on the remotely assisting with the recovery of the HP RAID-5 data belonging to our Architect client. Very professional service.

Finbar Marchwood · Isle of Wight

Isle of Wight questions, answered plainly.

Is there an office on the Island?

No. The bench is at Guildford, and the Island posts to it exactly as the mainland does: PO30 to PO41 appear on none of Royal Mail's restricted or extended-delivery lists. Carrying a drive over yourself adds a fare and a timetable, so for most jobs the parcel is the simpler route.

We are a Newport business and cannot trade. How quickly can you act?

Say it on the phone at the outset and the case goes to the front of the queue: diagnosed the day the parcel arrives, imaged through Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm, with a timescale once the diagnosis can carry one. The diagnosis itself is not charged for.

Does a server have to come over as a whole machine?

No, and it should not. A server or RAID set comes over as bare disks, each one labelled for its bay. An external in its own enclosure can travel whole; so can a NAS unit. No phones or tablets.

Does an Island address cost more to work on?

No. Multi-disk work opens at £500 + VAT and a recorder is £400 + VAT; a single drive costs £300 + VAT, and memory cards and sticks start at £250 + VAT. Diagnosis is free wherever the parcel started.

An Island drive travels by post, not on the ferry.

Switch it off, describe what went wrong, and take a free diagnosis before you commit to anything.
