This is the absolute best place to go for help with a damaged drive, lost data, and majorly…read moreimportant help when you have a serious data recovery issue. I was hesitant at first because you want to make sure you are going to the best place and getting the best value. I found it here and then some. Data Retrieval in Temecula was able to save all of our files, photos, etc., we are talking years and years of work and memories that we had lost due to serious hard drive damage. It was literally a catastrophe until we found Tim and he saved the day! He is honest. Fair. and extremely talented and knowledgeable. Before this experience, I was very concerned that all was lost and I might lose more money on top of the data I had lost. It turned out that this was the best deal imaginable - the value he has restored to us is incredible and the price reasonable and fair. We were so happy with his service that we left him a huge tip on top of the fee for his work. He is 100% our first choice if I ever have another difficulty with my data storage.

Beware and run away from this fraud!…read more I called Tim and spoke to him about my hard drive issue. I had installed a backup software and it supposedly ran my hard drive so hard that it caused a malfunction. I told him that I took my drive to another local technician and that guy thought it was it a connection issue where it plugs in. But a day later, that guy said it was not and something that he couldn't work on. That's why I contacted Tim because he had better technology to work on newer drives. When I brought the drive in, he looked at and didn't see any visible issues with the physical aspects of the drive. He bragged and boasted about how he's gotten 99% of his customers data back. He talked about how he works with 2 types of people- those who want their data back and those who go through all lengths to make sure their data is lost. At the time of drop off, Tim said he was waiting for a new board to be delivered, that was OUT FOR DELIVERY at that specific time. He would know by the end of the day if he could get my data back, and to stop panicking... everything will be fine. A week went by without any communication so I called him for an update. He hadn't even started my job yet. He blamed it on slow delivery and "the war in Russia..." I called another week later and the new board finally arrived and that he would need a few days and my drive would be ready. Another week later and he said he had to send my drive to the FBI in West Virginia because his new board was not working. I didn't realize the FBI was 'for hire' on data retrieval. Funny, right? It was Friday and he said the drive would returned on Monday. And yet, still no update until another week later. My hard drive is all of sudden broken and none of their tools can help retrieve data. Tim says a "microscopic " scratch and break is why my data cannot be read. He sends me pictures of the broken piece. I can see it in the photo and he would have seen it when I dropped it off. So now he blames the original technician. My drive was NOT broken when I dropped it off but it was returned broken to me. Tim is full of fancy stories...retrieving data that has been smashed by hammers and run over on purpose by cars, thrown in lakes and dropped down 15 stories! He works for the "FBI" and can get any info. Yet...this tiny little scratch is preventing him from getting my data. I think his stories are fake! I don't think he even attempted to get my data. Tim kept saying to me "it's gonna cost some money..." I make tons of money and was willing to invest whatever I needed to get my 2 years worth of data back. Maybe Tim thought I couldn't afford it or maybe he just likes to tell stories. He made matters worse. He is not a professional. He just a guy that copies data and actually lives inside his office with his mattress and curtains. Thursday, March 31- First attempt to pick up my drive and he's not there. I call and he answers in a perky tone, then when I say my name, he's all of sudden changed his tone and he's sick. But he'll be in tomorrow Friday. Wednesday, April 6- second attempt to pick up my hard drive. I call and ask if he will be there and he promptly says YES! Then asks "who is this?" And soon as I told him who I was, he said "I won't be in until much later. I'm still fighting a cold. Like 330pm." I guess that's when the cold is scheduled to end. He said he's going to send me the drive with a tracking number. But given his history of poor communication, I didn't trust him. So we drove over anyways and I had my husband go knock on his door. And guess who's there? Yep, that's right...Tim answered the door for my husband and my hard drive was sitting on the desk. I should have listened to the other reviews. Let's face it...not everyone has great reviews when it comes to data retrieval. I took the one with less risk and as it turns out, these issues with Tim are way more common. I messaged other people who got the same service from Tim and they all said the same thing...delivery, wars, FBI, and a little scratch all got in the way.

Tim is a great guy to work with. He's got decades of experience with hard drive repair and data…read morerecovery he helped me fix the board on my hard drive and it's working like new. He finished the job in like a day or two as well so he's really quick. It's getting harder and harder to find people like him who can and will do the work to fix hard drives. Seagate and other hard drive manufacturers don't care about your data, if it breaks, they won't fix it. They'll just ask you to buy another one and prop up their share price. All I'm saying is that you'll get family friendly levels of customer service with Tim. He won't price gauge you like the big hard drive companies will (talking $800+ with the big corps that do this work).

Alandata has provided straight answers with professionalism. Explained common process and protocol on getting your hard drive fixed. Also, the thing that stands out from any other repair spot. They have an address of location you can go to for evaluations. An actual Lab catered for specific hard-drive repairs. It is very difficult to trust a company with all your memories. You can use online mail services or go to other fake repair shops to entrust them to fix your priceless memories, risking damage or uncertainty of scheduled repair as well as not knowing where your devices current where abouts. Shopping around, I believe Alandata is a solid company that you can trust to fix your Hard-drive. I never went with them since I was able to repair my hard-drive myself. But if I had too, this would be my definite place to get my priceless memories fixed. Thank you Alandata for your feedback.
