Your data isn’t gone until an examiner says it’s gone.
Deleted files, failed drives, dead phones, corrupted cards, broken USB media — recovered in Idaho Falls with the same forensic methods used in criminal casework.
Why forensic-grade matters:
Most recovery shops run consumer software against your drive and hope. Every pass against failing media is a gamble — and a careless one can turn a recoverable drive into a lost cause.
OneSix Forensics does it the way evidence gets handled in a criminal case: your original media goes behind a hardware write blocker, gets imaged once, and never gets touched again. All recovery work happens on the image. That's not marketing language — it's the standard our Examiners are trained to and put to use every day, so your family photos get the same treatment as case evidence.
What we recover
• Accidentally deleted files — documents, photos, video, email
• Formatted or corrupted drives — "drive needs to be formatted," RAW partitions, lost volumes
• Failed hard drives & SSDs — drives that click, aren't detected, or won't mount
• Phones & tablets — broken screens, devices that won't boot, deleted messages and photos
• Memory cards & USB drives — camera cards, dashcam and drone footage, damaged thumb drives
• Old media & migrations — aging drives and computers you need the contents of, before it's too late
Severe physical failures — drives needing vendor certified clean room facilities, platter damage, specialty part replacement — are escalated to a trusted cleanroom partner, with your approval and a firm quote first, and forensic chain-of-custody handling throughout. We can handle most board repair and chip-off extractions locally.
