Do you repair external hard drives in Montreal?
Yes. IT Cares offers external hard drive repair and data recovery across Greater Montreal — Laval, West Island, South Shore, and downtown. Free diagnostics, no-recovery-no-fee policy on most cases.
How much does external hard drive recovery cost?
Diagnostics are free. Logical recovery (deleted files, corruption) starts at $99. Physical recovery (clicking, dropped, dead drive) varies — we always provide a flat-rate quote before any work.
My external drive isn't detected — can you recover the data?
Yes — in most cases. The drive may have a failed USB controller, dead enclosure, or file system damage. We diagnose first to confirm whether the data is logically intact, then quote the recovery.
Can you recover data from a clicking external drive?
Stop using it immediately. Clicking means mechanical failure. We perform a free recovery feasibility check and only proceed if data is recoverable. Each power-on reduces recovery odds.
Do you handle WD, Seagate, Toshiba, LaCie, and Samsung drives?
Yes — all major brands. WD My Passport, Seagate Backup Plus, Toshiba Canvio, LaCie Rugged, Samsung T7, and generic USB enclosures all supported.
Can you recover photos from a formatted external drive?
Yes, if no new data has been written. Quick formatted drives still have all the data — only the file table is reset. We recover photos, videos, and documents using professional tools.
