Like many people I had not backed anything up and was devastated by the thought of never being able to retrieve my pictures, documents and music (which I have spent a great deal of money on). Scott not only installed a brand new hard drive for me that was larger and cheaper than anything I was finding at Best Buy, etc., but also retrieved all of my important files. It was quick, easy and cheaper than others (like the Geek Squad) I had contacted. They turned my nightmare into a sweet dream!

I wouldn't roll 5 stars for nothing. If the regular service this dude offers is as good as the…read moreservice I received then he sure deserves it. i found patchworks off a flyer I saw on the board at starbucks on 2nd street and his rates were really good and his turn-around quick and all problems were solved. Funny dude, too. His flyer made him sound like a big company but it's mostly just this old school long beach local guy named Scott doing the work. i guarantee he will be wearing a reyn spooner shirt. He's right by 36-36 Club, too, as well as the laundromat, so i was able to drop off my lappie for service, do some coin-op, and get a beer and play pool in the same car trip. Potholder is right there, too, so I might hit that next time I need a clean sweep and/or software/hardware upgrades. Anyhow, he's cool and does good work. ask for the Patchman. tell him latenight sent you. maybe he'll fly me a discount. . . .

This happened on a Friday morning and I was leaving for a week long work trip at 7am the following morning. Not good. I googled 'PC repair Santa Monica' and found Carlos at PC Quick Digital Services, and he went above and beyond the call of duty to help me. He rearranged his work schedule to accomodate my tight time schedule. He worked on my computer until 9pm (on a Friday!) and then dropped it off at my house after he was done. He was both thorough and professional. Even after he brought my computer back from the dead, he was kind enough to answer a couple of Outlook setup questions I had. Net, net...it was a pleasure working with Carlos and I would recommend him to anyone having trouble with their PC.

So as I was getting different quotes from other businesses, the solid reviews for Alfonso and the price that he quoted me is what drew me in. So I went to Cyber Electronics, explained to him the situation and let him do his thing. He was very kind to explain to me the WHAT IFS and everything he would be doing throughout the entire process. He would update me at all times too via email on the progress. After a few days, he was lucky enough to extract all 4TB of data that was loss and put it back into my drive. Because there was more than 4TB, he put the rest on a USB drive which of course he charged me. Overall, it was a big relief to get everything back and I couldn't be more happy with my experience with Alfonso. I saved a ton of money compared to other businesses that were almost charging me double his rate. So if you have any problems, don't hesitate because Alfonso is the man! Thank you and I appreciate everything you do.

But also, when you have just reformatted your computer and thought you're being all awesome, because you've backed everything up, onto an external HD, but then it falls onto the tile floor, and all it does it beep, you kinda freak out, esp when it's your business that is on that Hard Drive and you just have to trust that someone is able to fix it for you. While I was at it, I had another HD that completely let out on me, not ever dropped or anything so not sure what happened, but figured I'll drop it off as well. The one that dropped, I was pretty confident, could be saved, but the other one, not so much!!!! I was so nervous until I finally heard from them. I had tons of questions and Erik was super patient with me, which I appreciate it as well! Overall, not cheap, BUT, they were able to almost fully recover the hard drive that dropped. And, to my surprise, they were able to recover some data from the other hard drive that just gave out on me! I was able to get videos back from when my kids were babies, that I didn't even remember I had backed up, because it's been broken for so long. I have already bought more external HD's so this won't happen again!

Solomon's HDD Recovery service was very professional, thorough, and a quick turnaround (less than a…read moreweek). Data was recovered as promised. I had 20 or so years of mp3s, photos, movies, and videos that was lost when my single volume D:\ shared across two 512gb hdd was removed causing all of my data to disappear. Solomon was able to recover 99% of the data and back into its original folders. I'm giving a four star instead of five because the service was relatively pricey $699 compared to other quotes I received, however HDD Recovery was a lot closer to where I live. Also, because my hard drives were relatively full, some important financial files I had in the root directory were not recoverable. Regardless, I'd still recommend if price is not a concern and if you value years worth of data recovered for whatever reason, convenience or sentimentality.
