PCB Search

We source obsolete hard drives from within Australia and around the world for use by data recovery companies in replacing parts such as hard to find PCBs. This helps them to recover lost files and erased or lost data.

We have thousands of high end hard drives in stock and the ability to search for those drives (in order to to recover data), that are not in our library, so the chances of finding one in the first few hours are high. If you do not get a response straight away, do not worry. Our technicians are out there searching for you so you can carry on with the recovery of your lost files for your dta recovery clients.

We do not sell the hard disk drives direct, but use the parts to copy the lost data and return the recovered information to you as fast as possible. Your hard drive then has its original parts returned to it. You pay nothing if the data cannot be recovered. See Fees for more details

There are three simple steps to follow when looking for an obsolete drive.

Step 1. Determine the problem with the drive (is it clicking, clunking , scraping, not spinning or just not detecting?)

Step 2. Determine the make and model of the drive. Some other descriptors may be needed (see drive specifics to the left of this page).

Step 3. Go to Drive Search and submit the details of the drive, and we will search for an identical obsolete drive.

The search may take several hours or days, depending on the availability of an appropriate drive. Once a drive has been found, you will be contacted by email or telephone with instructions on how to proceed with the drive repair.

*Denotes required field All contact information will be used solely for the purposes of Re-Source Hardware. No contact information will be deliberately given to any third party. The search will be carried out once your request has been submitted. It may take several hours or several days, depending on the availability of your drive. We have thousands of high end and low end drives in our library, so the chances of finding one in the first few hours is high. Once a drive has been found, a technician will contact you by email or telephone and inform you that one has been found. You then pack the drive in appropriate material (see Packing information) and send it to the address indicated on the form. Re-Source Hardware will then repair the drive (if possible) and copy the data to another medium. See Fees for more details.
