$300 Data Recovery

I had an external hard drive that was 8 or so years old that began making the dreaded clicking noise and was unresponsive. After doing research and contacting several data recovery companies I settled on $300 Data Recovery, and am very happy with my decision. When looking at other companies it was difficult to get an actual price before the work was done, but the lowest available seemed to start at $450 and went up from there depending on difficulty. $300 Data Recovery was truly $300 for the recovery, plus $120 for the new hard drive, plus about $10 for return shipping. They were always up front about the costs involved, and did not deviate from that schedule. Also, the customer has the option of providing the replacement hard drive if they so choose, whereby eliminating that additional cost. I did not have a replacement available, so I bought one from $300 Data Recovery for what I considered a reasonable price. They were prompt and clear in their communication, sent me a listing of files that were recovered, and the replacement hard drive was from a well-known manufacturer. I would certainly recommend $300 Data Recovery if you have a hard drive that dies unexpectedly. The transaction was quick, and everyone I dealt with was not pushy (unlike with some competitors who are still trying to contact me). I would definitely use this provider again, but sincerely hope I do not have to; I have learned my lesson when it comes to data backup!

Took my computer to a big box store, and they told me the hard drive was bad. They quoted data recovery at somewhere between $750 and $2000! Didn't think my data was worth that much. My other computer guy turned me on to Brian at $300 data recovery. I filled out a form on their website, and Brian got back to me the same day and told me there was a 75% chance they'd get my data back based on my answers to his questions. I packaged it up as they recommended and mailed it to their office in Los Angeles. About a week or two later, they called to let me know they got all my data back. For three hundred dollars, NOT $750 to $2000. I did have to purchase something to store it on, so I bought a hard drive from them. What a great experience.

Very good communication with company, clear shipping instructions. Updates all the way through.

My wife and I went up to this company. They were incredible. It was a more complicated thing but the price was still great compared to other places. I sent the disk to them. No unexpected issues occurred. They did everything they said and they were so professional. Most companies that do data recovery level on this level do not have a fixed price. They look at the situation and then charge whatever they want. This company has fixed rates. I know exactly what I'm going to pay when I go there. It took them a day to complete the service. The reason why it cost us more was because we rushed the job. I would give them an A++++. I would give them the highest rating I would ever give any company in my life. Losing data especially at work can be a very bad situation and they recovered everything and they did exactly what they said they would do and they did it fast. I brought the stuff to someone else locally and they could not even recover the data that's why I sent it to LA.

This is a Gem. Reasonably priced, fast, friendly and dependable. I highly recommend them. I have had experience with them for a couple of years.

I contacted this service online. They had me fill out their request form and contacted me by email within a day. I was provided a description of their services and cost. I sent in my hard drive and was contacted immediately after it was received. I got updates about the progress and the eventual result that they were not able to recapture my data. They did provide several options including forwarding the drive to a different company who could provide the higher levels of service required with my problem. I hopefully will never have to use this service again but I do recommend them for their clear communication and quick responses.

My hard drive was damaged when the laptop was dropped. I thought I had lost all my pictures and videos. I sent it to these guys and they worked exactly as advertised. They were great with sending updates on where they were in the process and what they were able to recover. They answered all my questions. They recovered 93% of my lost files for $300 + the cost of a new hard drive and shipping. WAY cheaper than the $1200 minimum I was quoted by another company. I was thrilled. Hope to never have to use them again (I am being smarter about backing up my files now), but should the situation arise, I will know who to call!

Wow! Amazing guys. Quick. Smart. Helpful. Lower cost than expected. ... I do not like most MAC repair shops. I was having problems getting a slow non-communicative Apple shop in Burbank diagnose and fix my dead hard drive. I'm a film editor and needed my machine back fast. So I took my iMac away from the Burbank place and took it to Elite Mac Techs. They were awesome. They communicated extremely well and frequently during the 1.5 days needed. No other charges. Yes. Yes. Yes. I will use them again!

Drive had crashed. Chip Heads and the Apple store were unable to retrieve data. Got quotes from others that started at $800 and went up from there. Researched $300 Data Recovery and saw nothing but 5 star ratings. These guys get it done fast, professionally, and effectively. For $300 firm! Retrieved 99.974% of my data, and that is good enough for me. You will not be disappointed with this outfit. They explain their process in detail, and exercise outstanding communication by email.

They recovered the data from a corrupted hard drive. They promised to do the job or not charge if they could not do it. They were successful and completed the recovery quickly. Very responsive, efficient and very good price compared to others. Highly recommended.

The technicians I spoke with were very professional and helpful. They knew exactly what I needed and explained everything they were going to do and how it would affect my computer. There were several different ways to go to treat my problem and I wasn't given a hard sell to purchase the most expensive option. It took 2 days to complete the service and I received regular updates via email every step of the way. I don't know how their price compares to other companies, but there is a huge difference in the way my computer is running. As a result, I will continue to use this company for any future needs.

The $300 team were curteous and prompt in explaining my options for data recovery, were upfront about no guarantees in their ability to save the data, and quickly notified me of next steps once they completed the evaluation. While the data on my broken hard drive was not recoverable, the $300 data team did a nice job in getting to this answer quickly for us.

They did a fantastic job, over-delivered and did so in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend this team. They recovered all my documents, pictures, and everything else I wanted back.

A 1GB drive in my NAS box suddenly failed to come ready. I called one place in West LA and described the symptoms (I?ve been in IT for 40 years, so I know how to explain symptoms). I was told that an ?invasive repair? would be needed, and it could me anywhere from $500 to $1200. Then I found ?the low price leader,? in Florida. They offered three-tiered pricing, $149 (flash devices), $199 for ?most? hard drives, and $499 (a limited-time special) for drives that required ?invasive? repair. When I spoke to them on the phone and described the problem, they said it would most likely require a $199 service. I mailed them the drive, and within a few hours after they received it, I got an e-mail saying that an ?intensive? repair was required, and I also needed to send them a $149 parts deposit, which would be non-refundable even if they could not recover the drive. No thanks! I asked that drive be shipped back. So I?m out two weeks, and about $15 in postage. Yesterday, I took my failing drive (plus a working drive of the same model) to $300DATARECOVERY. 24 hours, and $300 dollars later, I have 100% of my data back. I don?t need to rave about my experience with $300DATARECOVERY. The facts speak for themselves.

Unable to recover my data.

Nathan was really great. He replaced my keyboard in a few hours. The quote I got over the phone was a little lower than the quote I got once I took my computer in, but Nathan agreed to honor the lower original quote. You don't see customer service like that much anymore and I was so grateful, I split the difference with them. That kind of goodwill towards customers goes a long way with me. I highly recommend them.

Our iMac was becoming unusable so we jumped on Angie's List to find someone who could make it workable. Brian was highly recommended by lots of folks so we decided to give him a try. From the very beginning it was an easy process. We scheduled online and dropped off the iMac later that afternoon. I got an email later that day with details of the problems and gave him the greenlight to fix it. Picked up the iMac the next day and couldn't be happier - it's like a completely new machine. Brian was responsive, very professional / organized and the quality of his work was excellent. Well worth the price and I wouldn't hesitate to use his service again.

I dropped off the hard drive in the morning and it was ready in the afternoon. Brian is very professional.

The experience with Brian went very well from the time I scheduled an appointment with him to take my drive via his online scheduling system. I received confirmation of the appointment in writing via email immediately. On the day I took the drive and described the problem, he was very confident in his ability to recover the data. Although I had been told that it would probably have to be recovered in a clean room, he assured me that a clean room recovery will not be necessary. He was 800% correct. He was able to tell me the status and situation regarding my disc within a matter of hours. He recovered 100% of my data. His set up and professionalism was of the highest quality. He recovered some very important data for me. I highly recommend Brian for any data recovery work. Great job!!!!!! and the price was great also!!!! He has a customer in me forever when it comes to any data recovery work.

He was amazing and very fast with his installation and set up.

My computer was slowing down. After a few moments on the phone with me, Brian immediately knew what the problem was. I took my computer to him late that afternoon and had it back home (and running better than ever) the next morning -- an overwhelmingly positive experience. Glad Brian's business is just a few minutes from my house, as I'll definitely be using him again next time I encounter a computer problem.

I was very happy with him. He was reachable by phone, responsive, I liked that he was in a physical location and not somewhere with a PO Box, or disappearing into the black hole of an Apple store. I like knowing the people who work on my computer,not just the ones who sell them. A pleasure.

He was prompt great personality and helpful. I ran into a problem after he left and he was able to correct the problem over the phone. This is the third time I used Brian and he is great.

He was very good. He fixed it. Then something happened. He went out again. He came right back in 30 minutes and re fixed it. I do remember that it was a good experience. He was terrific. His price was fair.

This was the second job that Brian has done for me, and both results were great. He was able to take me right away, called within an hour with a diagnosis, then fixed the problem and had my computer ready for pickup later that day. The price was fair, exactly as quoted.
