Hello Hello, 2nd…read moretime user of DataRecovery.com First time my drive crashed in 2019, they recovered everything. I sadly did not follow their recommendation on backing everything up. My experience with them was flawless - justin, who managed my case, was responsive, reassuring, took his time to explain when I did not understand and really managed my expectation. They delivered results within the expected time frame, and all the recovered data was working well - no data was corrupted! The second time was summer 2020 when my other drive crashed - this time, sadly, they could only recover 10%, however, they looked at the drive recovered in 2019 (as 80% of the data overlapped) and managed to recover it again (which is very hard to do!!!) I was very grateful... and I backed up everything this time. My advice: back up back up back up - but if you're reading this, that means you did not, and the next best thing for you right now, is to call datarecovery.com They are well worth any quote they will give you, because the peace of mind of knowing your date is going to be handled with privacy, safety, security and integrity has no cost. They are knowledgeable, professional and very customer oriented. Highly highly recommend!

Unfortunately Yelp's algorithms are very absurd and a lot of our 5 star reviews get filtered out (unless you pay Yelp) and we are left with your 1 star review near the top. This is like a life sentence for the company, it never goes away and it really hurts our business. I wanted to see if you think we have done our time yet and maybe delete that review?

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.

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.

You have come to the right place! I am an indie filmmaker and I also work as a teacher with kids and teens helping them learn how to make films. In this case, I was tasked with doing some final edits of their work on behalf of the school, for their final screening. The unthinkable happened a week before the screening--my external 2 TB hard drive crashed. It's one thing for my project to go up in smoke, but the thought of letting down the kids was a nightmare..I had actual nightmares about what I was going to have to tell them. I also desperately wondered about which place to turn to. Most big computer repair places take far too long to quote and start the job and often outsource the repair work itself and are swamped, so you know they're not likely to get to repairing the drive the same day you drop it off--which was my only hope! Contemporary Computers quoted me immediately, gave me a fair price point and were honest in suggesting it might take awhile to recover the drive considering most of the files were .mov files, (large) and some prorez files (very large). They understood the urgency of the situation and started work immediately, and worked longer hours than they originally quoted but still held to the original quote. (How awesome is that?! Actual humanity!) With their skill and understanding of my plight, my entire drive was recovered in 3 days, allowing me to make my deadline. 3 days including drop off and pickup! They literally saved the show and the kids got to see their hard work and their families were not disappointed. I honestly believe if I hadn't approached Contemporary Computers and instead went with a big corporate repair chain that it wouldn't have been recovered in such a timely manner. So take note film industry editors, directors, producers and actors and everyone else! This is where you want to take your repair problems!!

EDIT: Since writing this review, I was contacted by the owner and sent an $84.75 cheque in the mail…read moreto make up for the service fee. After doing quite a bit of research on where I should go to have my laptop's hinges and backing fixed, I decided on this place - Contemporary Computers. It had great reviews, and they said my laptop would be ready in 3 days at the cost of no more than $130 when I called in. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience here at all. Instead of having the laptop fixed in the three day period, it was "assessed" in two. What they had to assess when the top half of the laptop was clearly falling apart, I'm not sure, but I let it go. I spoke to them again, and they told me that the total cost would be $275. A lot higher than I had anticipated, but I'm a university student whose notes are all online, so I needed the laptop and said the price was fine. Again, I asked how long the repairs would take, now that they knew what had to be fixed. I was told 3 days. Once two business days were up, I called in to make sure that I would be able to pick up my laptop on time, since I hadn't heard from them yet. It was then that I was told that the parts they needed for the repairs wouldn't be in for another three days. That's when I got annoyed. Not only was I not able to download any notes, I had some work to do for an internship, which was due on the day the parts would come in. They did offer a loan laptop - at $9-$11 a day. However, the trip there and back would take an hour and a half and would cost me $6 in subway fees. As a student, I wasn't willing to pay any extra costs, especially when they gave me false information. Three days later, I get the call to come in and pick up my laptop. The total cost - $300 before taxes. When I went in to pick it up, I asked about the price mix-up, but all I got was a "Sorry that you were misquoted." I ended up paying $339 and waiting for 2 weeks. Definitely NOT what I was told the two times I called in. As for the laptop itself: It's not even the same backing. The broken one was flat and black. The new on is blue and bulky. When I did a check to make sure every thing was working (something I HIGHLY suggest doing before you leave the store) my webcam wasn't working. So they had to spend some time fixing that once my laptop was already supposed to be repaired. When I brought up all of these things, they didn't seem to think there were any problems with their service. The colour was just an aesthetic thing, the misquoting was unfortunate, and hey, they did offer me a loan laptop, but I didn't want it, so it was my own fault that I had to start my work from scratch. I was given a "consolation prize" for my patience; a stainless steel water bottle with their logo on it. To say the least, I will not be going back here, and the only suggestions about this place that I will give will be to avoid it.
