Failed iMac and your photos, work or thesis is on it? Don't keep powering it on - every boot makes recovery harder. We handle Fusion Drive splits, failing SATA SSDs, dead spinning halves and T2-encrypted recovery on 2018+ models.

How much does iMac Data Recovery in Dubai cost?
Quick answer
iMac Data Recovery in Dubai starts from AED 500. Typical turnaround: 1-5 days depending on damage. All repairs include a 30-day written warranty on parts and labour, free pickup and delivery across Dubai mainland, and same-day completion on most common services.
- 90-day written warranty
- No fix, no charge
- Same-day on common repairs
Stop using the iMac. If a drive is failing, every power-on writes more data to weak sectors and reduces what we can recover. The right move is to bring it to us untouched - we image the drive on a write-blocker bench before we attempt anything.
iMac data recovery splits into three very different jobs. Older Fusion Drives need both halves understood - the SSD cache holds the file map, the spinning HDD holds the actual data. SATA SSDs from 2017 fail silently. 2018-and-later iMacs use the T2 chip to encrypt the SSD against the logic board's unique key - recovery from a dead T2 board is much harder and we will tell you up front whether it is possible. Honest assessment first, then a written quote.
What we fix
- Fusion Drive logical failure (file system corruption)
- Failed spinning half of a Fusion Drive - clicking, stuck heads
- Failed SSD half of a Fusion Drive - files visible but unreadable
- Standalone SATA SSD failure (iMac 27-inch 2017 / 2019)
- Accidentally erased macOS volume - pre-erase data still recoverable
- T2 / Apple Silicon recovery limits explained honestly
How it works
Free intake assessment
Bring the iMac in. We listen, look at SMART data if the drive responds, and tell you whether recovery is straightforward, complex, or impossible. Always honest.
Image first, work on the image
We pull the drive and clone it sector-by-sector to a working disk. All recovery attempts run on the clone - your original is never written to again.
Logical or physical recovery
Logical: file system rebuild, partition recovery, deleted-file recovery. Physical: head swap or platter work in our partner clean room (rare, quoted separately).
Hand-back on your drive
Recovered data delivered on a new external SSD you can keep, or on a drive you provide. We don't keep copies.
30-day written warranty
- • 30-day window to verify your data - we re-read for free if anything is missing.
- • No-recovery-no-fee on standard logical jobs.
- • Clean-room physical work quoted up front before any work begins.

FAQ
- On standard logical jobs (Fusion Drive splits, deleted files, corrupted volumes), if we can't recover your data you don't pay. Physical clean-room work is quoted separately because the parts and lab time cost regardless.
- Logical Fusion Drive failures: usually 90%+ recovery. SSD electronic failure: 50-70%. T2-encrypted iMac with dead logic board: very low - we'll tell you before charging.
- No. Recovery is delivered to your drive, our working clone is wiped in front of you. Privacy is non-negotiable for personal photos and business data.
- From AED 500 for straightforward logical recovery on a healthy-but-corrupt drive. Physical clean-room work runs AED 2,500-6,000 depending on damage. We quote in writing before starting.
- Sometimes - depends on whether the T2 chip itself survived. We test for free. If the T2 is dead, recovery is generally impossible because the encryption key dies with it. We won't take your money for impossible work.
- No. Every boot risks more damage. Power it down, bring it in untouched. The first attempt has the highest success rate.
