The damage I did to the drive required Five Star's clean-room service, and they quoted a flat rate to me in advance. The effort of recovering the data ended up being very challenging and took longer than any of us expected, but at the end Five Star was able to recover over 99% of the files--and I'm happy to say, the 1% of files were not important to me, so the 99% they recovered covered everything I needed. Despite that significant extra work, they invoiced me only for the original quoted amount. I'm happy with the results but also the professionalism. When I first reached out to Five Star, they got back to me at the start of the next business day and, after answering a few follow-up questions, I had a quote and scheduled to drop off my drive the same day. Vahan and Elen were particularly helpful and professional the entire way through. It was really a pleasure to work with them and I can't recommend Five Star enough!

Choose these folks for your data recovery needs! I had two WD (called Western Digital when they…read moredrives were made) HDDs that I needed data from. I was unable to recover data from them in different ways. Disc one was an external drive that would not power on. I tried removing it from its external enclosure and powering it from another, more different enclosure to no avail. The system was indeed down. Disc two was an internal drive that used to be my C drive- my boot drive. I removed it from an old computer after it stopped booting and put it into an external enclosure. Several different computers (Mac & PC) would recognize it sporadically, though none could access the data on it- error codes always came up. Before I removed it, from the old computer, I tried booting from an optical disc and other assorted methods, many other assorted methods... I believe I was very thorough in my efforts. I sent both in and received near 100% recovery. They said it was 100% from one and 99.9% from the other but I am unable to find that .1%. I got all of this for just barely above the $300 price in their name (each, not total). So for about $600 total (including new discs on which my recovered data was transferred and return shipping) I got this incredible service. The total price I paid for both discs at 300DDR is less than I was quoted at several other places for one disc. At each step they were great communicators, from their receipt of the discs to my receipt of the recovered data. I hope I never need their services again but should, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend them.

I used to backup my files regularly but I got lazy after moving cross country a year ago. Imagine…read morehow distraught I was when last month, one my SSDs failed due to a corrupt MFT. And worse it was the one that held all my photos over the last couple of years. I'm an engineer by trade and with other files, I might have tried to rescue them myself. For these important photos, however, I decided to go with the professionals. I did a bunch of research trying to find the best data recovery service to use and $300 Data Recovery turned out on top. The employees here are very professional and responsive. I submitted my chances form at 7:30PM on a Saturday and they got back to me within an hour. I was not expecting a response over the weekend. They gave very clear instructions on how to package and send off my SSD. I dropped it off at UPS the next day and by Wednesday, they confirmed they received the device and added me to the queue. Apparently there weren't too many people in line before me so I received a positive response the very next day. 100% of sectors recovered! A couple of days later they were completely done and after I confirmed they recovered my files (they send a master list of all files) and I paid ($300 fee + $105 recovery transfer drive + $25 shipping), they shipped my drive back. Total time from my first contact to receiving my data back: 16 days, and this was including Thanksgiving in between. I am very satisfied with the service I got from $300 Data Recovery. Hopefully I never run into drive trouble again (it certainly made me backup my files more frequently), but if I ever need help, I'll definitely contact them again. Now I can finally post all my Yelp reviews from November and December that I was missing photos for...

I took my AIO, nearly in panic, to the random Data Recovery place nearest me. I was genuinely worried that I might have lost a tremendous amount of a very important body of work The place turned out to be ASAP Data Recovery. Man, what a lucky break Daniel greeted me with a calm voice and a smile, then quickly interviewed me about my issue He quickly figured out what most likely could or would be the problem and gave me a very rough, informal estimate on the cost and the likely outcome of their effort Very importantly, he commited to finding out what had undeniably caused my computer's failure at absolutely no charge to me. His words were, roughly, "once we know exactly what has caused the failure we will get back to you with an estimate AND A LIKELY OUTCOME." The latter was very important to me (as it is to most other prospects, I suppose), because of the importance of the data hoped to be recovered Long story short, I got back EVERY SINGLE FILE I thought I had lost and I couldn't be happier! Price depends, needless to say, on the amount of data recovered, so it's pointless to mention anything regarding that, but suffice to say, I am very happy with the value of data recovery relative to its importance Value-wise, every case is unique, so you make up your own mind after the initial estimate but I am supremely happy with ASAP Data Recovery because I got EVERY SINGLE FILE that I needed and I picked up exactly where I left off once I got the files back All of that said, try to avoid the need for this service! Please, unlike me, back up all of your files religously after every session doing important work! Best of luck to you!

I came to ASAP after having been referred to them by Dory from Watt Computer Repair, as he said he'd dealt with them before and had good experiences. So I went there and met with Daniel at the front desk. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and very clear about the process and the cost involved, depending on the extent of damage. It all made sense to me so I put down my deposit, relinquished the drive and hoped for the best. While some people need their data right away, I was in no rush; mine was mostly sentimental value so waiting was fine. During this time, Daniel kept in communication with me, providing updates every so often. In the end, only a portion could be recovered, and much was corrupted. Even still, I was given a breakdown of exactly which was which, was able to review it all myself, as well as ask questions, which were answered quickly. Ultimately, what was recoverable was still worth it to me, so I agreed to the terms that had been set and paid the full amount for the recovery, and bought a HDD from them to put the data on (their prices for a new drive are totally fair and on par with what you could get elsewhere, so the convenience was ideal). What they say on their website, in their contract you sign, and in verbal communication, is ALL consistent: if they can't fix it or what they can fix is not satisfactory, then you just pay the deposit and that's it. There are no hidden fees. I never once felt pressured to keep going with the recovery, and I never once felt like I didn't understand what was going on. All in all, it was a great experience. Thank you so much for being able to recover everything that you could!
