Best data recovery services in California: find options near you

Spoke with many people Mark,Dan,John,Anthony and others. Their expertise, professionalism and knowledge was superb but they all added kindness and understanding of a terrible situation I was in to make sure we would have a successful outcome to the best of their ability. Anthony in the end was my main contact and he worked so hard with great compassion to fix every issue. I think this is the best company/people I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with in such difficult circumstances. My gratitude to them and a great company is immense! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Very expensive but worth it if you find yourself in a desperate situation. In our case, we had a snapped USB drive that had a handful of important files that weren’t recently backed up (yes, I know, I know!). The turnaround time for even the lowest price tier was exceptionally fast, and the customer service and communication were fantastic at every step. When I initially received the drive back, one of the files was corrupted. The team was able to retrieve an uncorrupted version, and a replacement drive was overnighted to me. It’s worth noting that the quoted price was for labor only and didn’t include the cost of the recovery drive or return shipping, so expect to pay just a bit more than the price provided in the quote. Still, I was astounded at the work they were able to do. They’ve earned every bit of their reputation as the gold standard in the field of data recovery. Thank you, DriveSavers!

When you call you will recieve an extremely wide range of how much it will cost to recover your data based on what you tell them. Expect the HIGHEST price they give you. Im not dissatisfied with their work at all. They were able to recover files from a flash drive. However they couldn’t tell me what happened. When I called originally the range I received was $700 – $3900 They had my flash drive in hand less than 4 hrs before they called with another range of $2800 – $3900 Can you guess what my end price was? $3,500 after a 10% off coupon that I received from the company that referred me. I believe they take advantage of desperate people. Especially when the files are irreplaceable. I wish they would just give the highest price out of the gate because trust me thats what it will be

We lost our home in the Altadena Fires and though we had our hard drives stored inside an 1800 degree fire safe that was also inside another 2400 degree rated gun safe, the case holding the drives melted shut and the drives were practically obliterated. Chips and SMD’s were molten flat onto the circuit boards and much of the drive was badly damaged and burned. Drive Savers worked tirelessly for months and did everything under their power and were able to retrieve nearly all of the data from one of the drives that contained countless videos of my kids growing up and photo’s and projects that I had thought were lost forever. They also extended me the thoughtful gift of getting this drive’s data for free, and though I could not afford to press on to do the other drives for the price, I am forever grateful for the generosity and kindness that they showed me and my family. Their engineers, management, and executives should be commended for the work that they do and the help they extend to those in need.

DriveSavers absolutely lives up to their stellar reputation. Crashed drive that couldn’t be removed from the board? No problem for these guys. Highly recommend.

I had an external hard drive with 3TB of data on it that I neglected to back up, and one day it just failed to load up. I took it to Micro Center and they shipped it off to their data recovery «partner». They wanted to charge me INSANE prices! I found $300 data recovery online. They were charging way more affordable pricing, to the point where I was concerned it was a scam because it’s so much cheaper. IT’S NOT! They’re the real deal. I had to ship my drive across the country to get it there, but it was completely worth it. They were able to recover all of my data at a reasonable price, and they were super easy to work with. Thank you for your amazing service and for keeping it affordable for normal people. I absolutely will be recommending them for any data recovery needs!

In addition to getting back invaluable data that I thought might be gone forever, I am so appreciative of their transparent pricing and communication. They let me know what was happening with my drive as they were investigating, very clear about what they need from me and answered any questions I had along the way. Money well spent and was much less than quotes I got from other data recovery services.

This is a great company and they are performing a crucial service. I was able to recover 12 TB of data at 1/3 of the price quoted by another leading data recovery company. I cannot say it enough, these guys are performing an important service by providing small businesses and indie filmmakers who have lots of data an affordable way to recover the data that one day could be lost thanks to a bad drive or enclosure. They were pretty responsive, easy to deal with and did what they said they could do without any surprise fees. Peace of mind that is so needed and a great stab at the data recovery racket.

There’s likely no better option if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation with a failed drive. They’re a reputable, they know what they’re doing, and their process is efficient and precise. I had a USB drive that failed with a lot of important data. Great instructions on sending your failed drive in and very communicative at every step of the process. They recovered everything that I thought I had lost. They’re also honest with their pricing and realistic with their timeline. Other companies can and will charge you more, so it’s refreshing to see someone doing honest work.

I’m so thankful that I found this company. I had estimates from other companies that were so high that it stressed me out. I didn’t want to lose the photos on my device, but I also didn’t want to take out a loan to cover the costs (most of the other companiies offer financing!). This company had way better rates and performed the job successfully. I’m happy 😊

⭐ 1 Star I dropped off my hard drive for data recovery and paid the $100 evaluation fee. After waiting an entire week without hearing anything, I finally went into the office in person to check on the status. I was told my drive was still «in queue» to be looked at. What’s frustrating is that about 45 minutes after I left and got home, I received an email saying they had examined the drive and found a scratch on it, and there was nothing they could do. The timing made it feel like my drive hadn’t actually been looked at until I showed up asking questions. Another issue is their policy requiring you to provide a backup hard drive when you first drop off the damaged drive. That doesn’t make much sense. Why should a customer have to purchase and provide a backup drive before knowing whether any data can even be recovered? If recovery is successful, customers should at least be given a day or two to bring in a replacement drive. What bothered me most is that there didn’t seem to be any effort made to recover any of the data. Their signage advertises that partial recoveries are sometimes possible, yet I was simply told there was a scratch and that was the end of it. No discussion of possible options, no attempt to recover even a portion of the files, and no offer of alternative solutions. I also found communication to be poor. Nobody answers the phone, and every time I visited the office it was very quiet with no customers in the lobby, making the lack of responsiveness even more confusing. Overall, I paid $100, waited a week with no updates, and received little explanation beyond being told there was a scratch on the drive. Based on my experience, I can’t recommend this service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best in the Business — $300 Data Recovery If you’ve faced a failed external SSD, you know how fast things get expensive and sketchy. I was quoted $3,000–$3,500 from a large corporate-facing lab. I explored other options along the way that didn’t pan out, but the research that followed led me to $300 Data Recovery — a premise that sounded almost too good to be true. It wasn’t. They delivered on everything they promised and then some. The data recovery industry is full of hidden fees, forced media purchases, and zero transparency. One lab told me I’d need to buy their proprietary recovery media — without quoting a price. $300 Data Recovery was the opposite: upfront about recovery chances, clear on pricing, and communicative at every single stage — receipt confirmation, queue position, technical analysis, payment, and return shipping. No surprises. They also let me provide my own backup drive to recover onto, saving hundreds in the current SSD market. They ship internationally, accepted a prepaid label, and let me handle customs — saving even more. I paid a flat $700 based on the drive’s capacity and type — which is an absolute bargain compared to the gaudy estimates other labs quoted me. When you factor in everything — avoided inflated quotes, no forced media purchase, international shipping savings — I conservatively estimate $300 Data Recovery saved me at least a thousand, potentially several thousand dollars. After return shipping, they free of charge keep your recovered data securely on file for approximately two weeks — giving you time to verify everything arrived safely. Beyond that, they also offer an optional fee-based cloud backup service if you want longer-term peace of mind. My media arrived intact and complete. For anyone who’s just a regular bloke dealing with a failed drive, $300 Data Recovery is the first call you should make. Transparent, affordable, and genuinely excellent. Head and shoulders above the rest.

Kyle Moravcik with Secure Data Recovery was amazing. He was quick with responses and always kept us up to date with the process and progress of recovering our data. We had a hard drive that held all of our files and pictures for our family for the past 15 years. We were so worried all of this information would be lost but Kyle was able to not only recover all of our files in a quick time but also worked with us on a very reasonable price to get it done. We are so thankful for Kyle and his hard work and would always use Secure Data Recovery in the future if we ever need it again. They also make it super easy to mail in the hard drive and mail it back to us in only a couple of weeks!!!!

My brand new seagate of 2 years decided to fail on me. It had home footage from my deceased dad and footage of the past 5 years with him. I was terrified to find out my drive had been crashing on me. I called Secure Data and Scott M was such a delight to work with. He made me feel calm about the situation at hand and told me they would be able to do the best they can. LUCKILY my footage had been saved. Scott was always their to help with any questions or concerns I had. I appreciate his kindness and calmness. This footage is all I have left to keep my dads memory alive so I am happy it was able to be recovered. Thank you so much Scott & Secure Data.

Kyle was very easy to work with. He quickly gave me an update of how much of my data he believed he could retrieve. He definitely delivered and quickly. He was able to recover all of my files with the exception of one which was no longer relevant to what I teach. As a teacher, I cannot begin to express my gratitude for bringing my sanity back as I cried a lot thinking I would have to totally recreate the wheel for my lessons next year. Although the services may be a little pricey in some people’s eyes, it was worth every penny to me!

I never thought I would have needed to get my hard drive repaired. I consider myself someone who takes care of his gear. Unfortunately, like many things, the power source was damaged and I was forced to have it sent to a professional. I spent a great deal of time looking online to see who would be best to help with my specific situation and sure enough «Secure Data Recovery» came through. Thank you Kyle for working with me, and for both having my hard drive fixed and sent back ASAP.

I had a great experience with Secure Data Recovery. The team was very responsive, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the process, which made an incredibly stressful situation feel much more manageable. They were able to recover data that I honestly thought I had lost for good. Special thanks to Kyle for his communication and support from start to finish. I’m very grateful for the help and would definitely recommend them.

I almost lost my important personal files for a year since the last backup. The partition of my hard disk containing very important files was totally inaccessible due to corruption of master file table, which happened in the middle of latest backup attempt. It was really stressful and I tried to find a good service company for recovering my files. Secure Data Recovery was one of the companies in the search results and looked the most reliable. I never regret my decision. The cost is not cheap, but it is less important considering that I got all the important files back. Kyle kindly helped me during the whole procedures. Thank you very much!

Kyle went way beyond the extra mile to help me with evaluation of six hard drives. I decided not to proceed with the recovery process and there was no pressure to do otherwise. Very supportive, very professional, very impressed with his integrity. I will definitely use his services in the future should the need arise. I wish there were more than 5 stars to give.

Thank you, Platinum Data Recovery, for the miracles from your incredible service! David and his team could recover all my data with absolute successful rate, after 3 top data recovery companies were not able to. The working process with David and Robert was simple, efficient, and transparent. Platinum Data Recovery is my highest recommendation without hesitation for all data-related services.

Platinum Data Recovery, David Green and Robert Clark are literally LIFE SAVERS and the very best in the business! I had 7 years of data, 10,000+ music sessions, projects, songs and sentimental data and they were all saved and recovered. The timing, service and professionalism are unmatched. They are the very best if you’re looking for the very best results. Extremely happy with their service and I would recommend 10/10 times. Don’t hesitate to use their expertise. Thank you to their team!

The recovery process working with David and Robert went smoothly, was very professional, and friendly. I’m glad they had an in-person drop off for the drive, so I could ask some questions in person before proceeding. They had a free inspection and quote with additional opportunity for further inquiry before committing and then met the expected timeline without any delays. All my data was recovered and they gave some further advice regarding data backup and management when I picked it up. Would use them again, if needed.

Has helped me recovered 3 hard drives. 1 helium drive, a 12tb drive, and 22tb drive and while there was some corruption in some files. They were able to recover them on a good deal compared to other places that require you to pay extra or have unnecessary charges. They have good prices and are very communicative and have nightshift people to help communicate any issues and update consistently. They arent very business oriented but provide a service and is very flexible to work with. David helped me a lot as well as Sam in dealing with my recovery process

platinum data recovery has very kind and helpful staff 🙂 they successfully recovered all of the photos from my micro usb that became faulty and quoted me very fairly!! i highly recommend david and platinum data recovery to everyone!!

I was referred to Magic Data by my doctor who said they could help me with my 15 year old computer drive that my son got a virus on years ago. The moment I called them, I knew they were very honest and friendly. I took my drive there and within a couple of days Mike said they were able to recover everything! I have had family pictures I couldn’t see because the virus that was on there had wiped everything out and couldn’t see for years until now! Mike and Magic Data are the best around. They are very honest and kind and I highly recommend them. Thank you again Mike and Magic Data! You guys are truly miracle workers!

Magic Data Recovery saved us lots of work to try and restore all our accounting data from last year. The hard drive crashed, of course, and we had stopped backing up the file for a variety of inadequate reasons. Our fault there was no backup. However, Magic Data Recovery was able to recover our data files and their resourcefulness and dedication saved us lots of work. The price was accurate, as quoted, and they did keep us informed throughout the process. Highly recommended.

They were unable to recover my data, they were about as friendly as a bag of carpet nails, and they made me wait outside their locked business in 90° heat for 10 minutes «while they finished with a customer» (no customer was inside) to simply return my useless drive to me. Impersonal.

Magic Data Recovery was amazing. I took my laptop to Bestbuy, paid for the total protection service, and there was nothing they could do to fix it. I was referred to Magic Data Recovery and they were able to restore my laptop data and assist me with my computer issues. In addition to excellent customer service, I would highly recommend anyone to take their hard drives and any other computer related issues. 5 stars!!

I brought my damaged hard drive in to see if they could recover any of the data after being told by the Geek Squad that they were damaged beyond repair, but recommended me to Magic Data Recovery. They were able to restore all of my data and did so quickly. Henry was very helpful and communicative. I brought the hard drive in to their Sherman oaks location. Highly recommend MAGIC DATA 🙂

NVME 1 TB SSD: Magic Data Recovery provided a deeply-rooted analysis. It was determined that the SSD would eventually need replacement as the controller was failing. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and communicated continually. I highly recommend Magic Data Recovery!

Magic Data Recovery saved my hard drive and taught me ways to protect my hard drive better in the future. They gave a protective case and an extra terabyte space on my recovered hard drive for a discounted price. They were very responsive and professional.

BE VERY, VERY CAREFULLY WITH THIS COMPANY! Just found out the services they solicted and provided were free with copier! Do not use them unless YOU call and request. DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING VIA EMAIL OR PHONE. We spent $8000 and they won’t take back TONER and/or issue refund! Now I see why they kept offing $100-$200 in Amazon gift cards! They triple charge the cost of toner IF we needed to purchase directly from copier company who sold us the copier! Mind you we’re still using the 1st free refills from copier company! THEY FAST TALK YOU. DO NOT RECOMMEND. ZERO STARS BUT YOU HAVE TO LIST AT LEAST 1 TO LEAVE A REVIEW.

Advanced Data Solutions really came up with a solution to my problem, they went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of. 2 drives were basically obsolete and they managed to recover them from death! Not only all that, but they made sure to work up a pricing fitting my needs, very considerate of my economic situation, 10/10 will definitely come back! Shoutout to Joe, for going out of his way to make sure I was taken care of.

My hard drive was failing. In a state of panic, I contacted Advanced Data Solutions. Joe was knowledgeable and patiently walked me through the process. He was also incredibly accommodating when it comes to expenses, and met me on the weekend for me to pick up the drive. During pick up, he stayed with me to test the drive. I can’t thank Advanced Data Solutions enough for their help, excellent communication, and great customer service.

I had a hard drive with 3 TB of data suddenly not work. Advanced Data Solutions was able to recover all the data. They are professionals at data recovery. I highly recommend their service

Advanced Data Solutions!!! I’ve just spent several hours going through a fraction of my «lost photos» a man at the Apple store told me my 6 years of photos on my phone (13,000 photos) were gone. My iPhone 11 simply «died». To try and find a company to recover them, I got one quote from a company in Northern CA, recommended to me, who said they would charge between $3,000 – $7,000 dollars to try and recover them. No Way! I did a google search around my own city and chose the one with the highest rating who have also been in business a substantial amount of years; Advanced Data Solutions. Joe and Tim recovered all of my photos. I am an artist and travel to find new and exciting scenes to paint. I was devastated when My phone died and photos gone. I can’t thank them enough for taking the time to recover the memories that are precious to me. AT A FRACTION of the cost of the original quote from the first company I contacted. I would give 6 stars if I could. Thanks guys!

So very pleased with Advanced Data Solutions. They recovered 6 years worth of photos from my «dead» iPhone 11. I’m an artist and use lots of photos for reference when I paint. Losing all those photos was devastating to me. ADS recovered them for me efficiently, quickly and for a reasonable price. Thank you!

After taking my beloved 27 inch IMAC computer to Apple in hopes of them fixing my failed hard drive, I was told that there was nothing they could do. I tried another company in downtown San Diego that yielded the same disappointing results. By this time my stress was ramping up significantly as the computer contained valuable and sensitive information. My last resort before trashing the computer was bringing it to Advanced Data Solutions. After a few days, I learned that they were in process of extracting data from my failed SSD! The process was long (about 2 weeks)and highly technical. About 2 weeks later, due to the enormous amount of data I had on my computer, I was able to view what they recouped before deciding if I wanted to purchase it. The price was not cheap, but getting 20 years of family photos, personal and family documents was worth every penny. Joe, the owner of Advanced Data Solutions is a man of integrity. Meeting and working with him made the experience positive.

I definitely recommend Five Star Data Recovery. They are knowledgeable and capable of recovering complete local file storage on the ssd. If the repairing the laptop device to power up and boot fails, Five Star is facilitated to remove the ssd chip from system board, and mounted on test fixture to read access and transfer the data set to an external drive. Five Star is committed and methodical, and were successful in recovering entire 100 gB from my laptop soldered ssd.

My laptop and backe-up files on a flash drive stopped working at the same time. Turns out the laptp needed a new hard drive, so until that happened, I needed immediate access to the USB files. Staff here were honest every step of the way, very communicative, and SO friendly.

Highly recommended. Crashed an internal hard drive that had significant data on it that I had, irresponsibly, not backed up to any other sources. 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!

Five Star Data Recovery successfully recovered over 10 years of personal files, tax documents, and photos from my failed 1TB Toshiba hard drive after another technician could not. They provided a prepaid USPS shipping label and handled everything by mail — no office visit and no wasted time. Communication was clear, pricing was transparent, and they honored their no-data-no-fee policy. They securely returned both my recovered data and original drive. Highly recommended.

Five Star was amazing to work with. They handled my recovery quickly and were extremely accommodating. I will be recommending them to anyone that needs their services.

Five Star Data Recovery absolutely lived up to their name! Vahan and Elen were extremely professional, friendly, and kept me informed every step of the way. They repaired my broken Western Digital external hard drive and recovered almost all of my files in about a week. The communication was excellent, pricing was fair and transparent, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Five Star Data Recovery to anyone who needs fast, honest, and reliable help with data recovery. Thank you very much.

A miracle rescue for a drive more than a decade old. Broken almost three years back, then it underwent two unsuccessful attempts at repair in Turkey. Now despite the time it collected dust without the external shell, dismantled in those other labs, the data has been recovered to 94% by these very diligent professionals exactly for the Armenian Christmas. Be very careful with external drives as they are incredibly fragile for any mildest fall or shock, and do try to recover data with artisans equipped with a sterile lab.

Excellent service. Daniel and ASAP Data Recovery were life savers. The first place I took the nonworking drive to (and took my money) were not able to do anything after 6 weeks of trying. My portable hard drive was damaged and no longer operating. Daniel and ASAP Data Recovery had to fix the drive to try and recover the data and photos that were stored on the drive. It took time, but they were successful in recovering about 70% of the data and photos. Considering the shape of where they started, I am pleased with the outcome.

ASAP Data recovery is phenomenal. When I first met Daniel he explained to me what could potentially be wrong with the hard drive and the potentiall recovery methods. Daniel made me feel very comfortable leaving my hard drive with him and said I would only have to pay if I was happy for with the recovery!!! Before I went to ASAP recovery I tried another computer place who said they recovered my files but nothing was in order and the files were cut off. Daniel was very patient with me and tried to get back every file he could. He was able to recover 95 percent of my work!!! The file structure was in order and all the files worked!!! ASAP recovery efforts saved me a lot of time and I am very thankful Anyone who needs to recover data I would trust ASAP Data recovery over anyone else!!!

My external hard drive was corrupted and I wasn’t sure they would be able to recover much of it, but they did! And Daniel was wonderful and walked me through what I needed to do to connect back to the recovered material which was mostly a few thousand photographs as I am a photographer. I couldn’t be happier with ASAP data recovery, and how clear they were on the process.

My external HD suffered physical damage that I was almost certain could not be fixed. Daniel and everyone at ASAP Data Recovery are literally miracle workers. They were able to recover absolutely everything (almost 600GB) on my external HD that other companies told me were impossible to recover and that I should take it as a loss. Very precious photos and data that were irreplaceable were recovered and returned to me in a timely fashion, with excellent communication and thorough explanations of everything throughout the process. I cannot express my gratitude and relief!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Thanks Danielle,I am absolutely satisfied with the service,not only the mechanical but the physical customer service you provided,definitely my go to place for any future issues that require your specialty services.ASAP DATA RECOVERY Is The ABSOLUTE Standard.RIGHT ON…….

Excellent to do business with! I’d dropped my portable HDD, and I knew it bad enough that it was out of my expertise to fix, so I went on a quest to see who could help. 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!

⭐ 1 Star I reached out to ASAP Hard Drive Recovery after several people recommended them to me, telling me they were a small business, reasonably priced, and that the owner personally works on drives in his own clean room. Based on those recommendations, I expected fair pricing and honest service. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience. After explaining my situation, including the fact that the hard drive had already been opened, I was quoted around $2,000 for recovery. I was honestly shocked by the price. That’s the kind of number I would expect from a large national recovery company with a massive facility, multiple technicians, and significant overhead—not from a small operation where the owner is performing the work himself. What makes this even more disappointing is that I had already received a lower quote from a larger company. When a small business is charging more than the major players in the industry, it raises serious questions about value and fairness. I understand that data recovery can be difficult and specialized work, and I don’t expect it to be free. However, a $2,000 quote felt excessive, especially when someone is coming to you for help after already dealing with a stressful data loss situation. I was hoping to support a local small business based on the positive recommendations I received, but the pricing I was given was simply too high to justify. For that reason, I cannot recommend this service based on my experience.

I arrived completely stressed and left relieved. Staff explained everything in simple language and never rushed me. They treated my files like something meaningful, not just storage. Seeing my photos again felt like a weight lifted.

As someone working in logistics, interruptions become expensive quickly. When our RAID 10 failed, the engineers rebuilt it carefully and restored our databases without affecting reopening plans.

Samsung SSD bricked mid-firmware-update. Research archive pulled back through chip-level extraction. Remarkable outcome.

Our company trusted SalvageData with a sensitive corporate RAID recovery. The workflow was secure, compliant, and the outcome was super.

I am not a tech wiz, but the instructions were simple to understand. The shipping steps were clear, and the packing tips were very useful. I received my results right on time, which made the whole experience very satisfying.

SalvageData provided dependable hard drive recovery when my external drive would not mount. Clear diagnostics and realistic timeframes made it stress free.

They went beyond the recovery itself by offering practical backup advice afterward, which showed commitment beyond a simple service interaction

I sent in a water damaged phone with very low expectations. The device wouldn’t turn on. The recovery specialists were honest about the risks but still gave it a shot. When I received the recovered photos and messages, I was genuinely shocked.

My university research project relied on a dual-boot laptop that suddenly stopped detecting the SSD. I reached out to SalvageData after two weeks of failed DIY attempts. They explained risks clearly and provided a timeline that they actually met. I received my recovered data with proper folder indexing, which meant I could resume thesis work immediately. Their transparency impressed my advisor, and honestly, it saved my semester

As a small business owner, every hour matters. Our RAID issue was addressed quickly and operations resumed sooner than expected.

Our company hit a major RAID 10 failure during a quarterly backup. SDR’s enterprise team rebuilt the array, verified integrity, and provided SOC SSAE16 documentation. Secure, traceable, and compliant throughout

Really friendly people. They made a difficult situation feel much lighter simply by the way they spoke with me

SalvageData team treated my SSD recovery as a real mission, not just a ticket. Data returned and stress stayed low

I run a small architecture studio. Our RAID 10 array failed and months of CAD files disappeared. I chose SALVAGEDATA’s express recovery — expensive, but within 36 hours all files were back and they advised our IT on better protection
