Zip disks

Do you have some old Zip disks and can’t access your data? Cambridge Data Recovery can help with our Zip disk data recovery service. We are a trusted supplier with thousands of happy customers.

Zip disk transfer

We can perform Zip disk transfer onto a USB stick or CD, or we can email the files to you or make them available to download.

For straightforward Zip disk transfer (PC or Mac format Zip disks), we charge £30.00 for the first disk plus £25.00 for each additional disk.

The age of Zip drives we typically receive means that in some cases there are issues with transferring the files. However, we will attempt to recover all of your files, even in cases where the Zip disk has a problem.

For bulk Zip disk transfer, i.e. 5 or more Zip disks, we can offer reduced prices. Please contact us for details if you have a large number of Zip disks to transfer.

With old Zip disks, there is a significant chance that a simple attempt to copy the Zip disk will fail, because most Zip disks we encounter are 20 years old or more. In our experience, the failure rate is typically anywhere between 5% and 20%. However, these statistics include Zip disks where a single file cannot be transferred, as well as those where the entire Zip disk is unreadable or appears to be unformatted. In many cases we can recover your missing data.

Our approach is to perform a straightforward copy of the Zip disks where possible and report back indicating the nature of any problem Zip disks and unreadable files. This means that you can decide whether or not to proceed with a recovery attempt on any disks or individual files which could not be copied. Data recovery for a single Zip disk that has corruption or disk read problems is typically £60 each. However, we offer significant reductions for batches of corrupted Zip disks.

We recommend that you act sooner rather than later with regards to Zip disk data recovery as the older a disk becomes, the more likely it will be to suffer problems.
