Memory Card Recovery
Restoration of photos and videos from corrupted SD, MicroSD, and CF cards used in cameras and mobile devices.
Our Professional Recovery Workflow
A systematic, secure approach to ensuring the highest possible recovery success rates.
Device Intake & Evaluation
Safe logging of your media into our secure inventory system with initial physical inspection to prevent further damage.
Advanced Diagnostics
Detailed analysis of the failure type (Physical, Logical, or Electronic) and preparation of a recovery plan.
Turnaround: 24-48 HoursCleanroom & Hardware Recovery
Physical repairs conducted in a Class 100 Cleanroom environment to address head assembly or motor failures.
Logical Retrieval & Imaging
Bit-level imaging of the drive to a secure server, followed by data extraction from the bit-copy to preserve the original media.
Data Validation & Secure Return
Integrity checks on recovered files and secure transfer to new encrypted media for return to the client.
Standard Cases: 3-5 Business DaysSecurity & Data Integrity
At Frostlark Workbit Starzau, we understand that your data is your most valuable asset. Our facility operates under strict security protocols to ensure complete confidentiality and compliance with Australian privacy standards.

On-Site & In-Lab Controls
Our laboratory features restricted biometric access and 24/7 surveillance. No external storage media or internet-connected devices are permitted in the primary recovery zone to prevent data leakage.
Encryption & Privacy Compliance
We operate in strict accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988. Recovered data is stored on air-gapped, encrypted servers and is automatically purged 14 days after successful client verification.
Successful Recovery Outcomes
Real-world examples of our technical expertise in high-stakes data retrieval.
Mission Critical Server Failure
Challenge:
Triple drive failure in a RAID 5 array containing five
years of financial records.
Approach:
Physical head replacement on two drives and manual parity
reconstruction.
Result:
99.8% data recovery within 72 hours.
Water Damaged Portable Storage
Challenge:
External SSD submerged in liquid resulting in
short-circuited controller board.
Approach:
Chip-off recovery method, bypassing the controller to read
NAND directly.
Result:
Full recovery of 1.2TB of professional photography files.
Encrypted Drive Corruption
Challenge:
BitLocker encrypted laptop drive with severe file system
corruption and no recovery key.
Approach:
Low-level sector repair and metadata reconstruction to
re-enable decryption.
Result:
Successful access to 100% of the encrypted partition.
Mechanical Failure (The Click)
Challenge:
Internal HDD dropped during operation, resulting in
immediate mechanical clicking.
Approach:
Platter transplant and head stack replacement in Class 100
Cleanroom.
Result:
Recovery of all personal family archives and documents.
