Little did I know that it only caused more damage than good. Gordon was able to retrieve 95% (100% in my opinion because I take multiple photos of 1 subject) of my data. He gave me a detailed report on what happened to my hard drive, how he will retrieve it, where he will get the parts, how long it will take, and the estimate of how much it will cost me. Although the quote is still high for me (because I am starting out in my career and this is not something that I normally deal with), the final quote is still lower compared to other data recovery shops. He gave me updates on the status of my data recovery and there were no hidden fees that got added on my final price. Overall, Gordon is professional and great at what he does. All the best in your business, Gordon! Sincerely, Regine

These guys are awesome!…read more They can help you in your time of need and NOT charge you an arm or a leg for the data recovery if they don't have to. They were very honest and up front as to what to expect when what my damaged HD would require and what you might expect if you took it to one of the competitors who might be offering a "cowboy" job. If your data is precious and your backup strategy inadequate, these are the guys to take your non-responsive hard drive to when you have to re-claim your data. The clean-room is a bit sketchy (no double door, no gasket around the door, etc.) but they have the tools to diagnose your problem and determine the best course of action and they know their limits when they have to broker the job to a uber-high-end facility. Sadly, since my backup strategy now includes mirrored RAIDs and offsite backups, I'll no longer need a place like this, unless my computer dies AND my RAID dies AND my offsite backup gets eaten, or stolen or abducted by aliens. ****** Edit 2010-11-25 I decided to bite the bullet and give them my drive to send to the uber facility for recovery.

On the business side, if you run a computer repair shop, I would highly recommend getting in touch with Sergei so that you can offer fast and highly reliable data recovery with good margin compared to other labs that offer wholesale work. For end users (customers), Datalab247 has always been able to recover an exceptionally high percentage of data for many drives that we thought were beyond repair at an excellent price and usually faster than quoted timelines.

A four day turn over and I didn't have to leave my house! The total cost was reasonable. I highly recommend them for your next data recovery job.

I found ReStoring by doing a Google Search for places close to me in the downtown Toronto area, read the reviews and gave them a chance. I felt comfortable trusting them just from my very first conversation with Monty. After that, their professionalism and communication was very appreciated. They kept trying to recover my data until they were able to recover almost 85% of it. I was more than happy with that because I had some very valuable memories on there! Thank you Ilana for your hardwork and getting me my memories back! I truly appreciate it!!!!

I tried a couple different programs with no luck and was devastated. I knew I was going to pay a pretty penny to get them back, if it was even possible. All the quotes I was getting around here were absurd, I actually thought about just moving on and forever regretting my mistake. But after researching online some more, I found Recovery Force being recommended by a bunch of people on Reddit. I loved that they had flat rate pricing, so there were no surprises. They were super quick as well. Within 2 days of receiving my hard drive, Luke sent me what he found, recovered it all, and my hard drive was back in the mail to me. I ran into a ton of shipping issues trying to get the package back from DHL, but Anne was there every step of the way and worked with DHL to make sure the package got delivered. Total was around $475 including shipping. I cannot recommend and thank Recovery Force enough!!
