Toshiba Hard Drive Data Recovery
Clicking, dropped or undetected Toshiba drive? We recover laptop, desktop and Canvio external drives.
Toshiba hard drive specialists
Toshiba makes a huge share of the 2.5-inch drives found in laptops and portable USB drives. These small drives are easily damaged by knocks and drops, and they often need precise clean-room work. We carry out that work in-house at our London lab.
Toshiba drives we recover
Laptop drives such as the MQ01, MQ04 and older MK series; desktop drives including the P300 and DT01 ranges; NAS and surveillance drives; and Canvio Basics, Canvio Advance and other external drives. We also recover older Fujitsu laptop drives, as Toshiba took over Fujitsu’s hard drive business.

Common Toshiba faults
- Head damage after a drop – the most common fault on portable drives. See our Toshiba head replacement case study.
- Stuck heads – the drive buzzes but won’t spin.
- Broken USB connector on Canvio drives.
- Bad sectors and slow reading – handled with specialist imaging hardware.
- Firmware faults that stop the drive being detected.
Our process
A free initial consultation tells you whether the fault is physical or logical. Physical faults go through a clean room diagnostic, followed by a head or component repair using a matched donor drive. We image the disk, rebuild the file system and check your key files.
Frequently asked questions
My Toshiba external drive was dropped and now clicks. What should I do?
Unplug it and don’t try again. Each attempt can scratch the platters. A head replacement in our clean room usually allows a full recovery.
