Most modern MacBooks running macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later use the Apple File System (APFS) as the default format. APFS is designed specifically for flash-based and solid-state drives, offering features like strong encryption, snapshots for system recovery, and fast directory sizing.
There are multiple types of APFS volumes, including standard APFS, encrypted APFS, case-sensitive APFS, and case-sensitive encrypted APFS. Each has its own recovery challenges — especially if the drive is corrupted, fails to mount, or becomes unreadable.
Our Montreal Mac data recovery specialists are experienced in handling complex APFS recovery cases, including:
-
Recovering data from encrypted APFS SSDs
-
Repairing damaged APFS volumes that no longer boot
-
Restoring deleted files from formatted APFS drives
-
Recovering files from MacBooks that won’t turn on or detect the internal SSD
If you're facing data loss on a Mac with an APFS-formatted drive, we use non-destructive tools and forensic-grade recovery techniques to maximize your chances of success.

Our professional data recovery services in Montreal go beyond simple software fixes. When dealing with SATA hard drives and other storage devices, our expert technicians perform a thorough diagnostic process to identify the root cause of the failure. This often involves carefully inspecting critical components such as the hard drive platters, printed circuit board (PCB), read/write heads, and firmware integrity in our specialized cleanroom environment.
If the PCB is damaged, we perform precise board-level repairs or swap it with a compatible unit to restore functionality. We also assess platter condition for scratches or physical damage, which requires delicate handling to prevent further data loss. Using advanced tools and techniques tailored for SATA hard drives, SSDs, and external drives, we recover data even from severely damaged or unresponsive devices.
Whether you have a hard drive failure in Montreal caused by electrical surge, mechanical shock, or firmware corruption, our data recovery lab combines technical expertise with cutting-edge equipment to maximize recovery success and protect your valuable information.
