$300 Data Recovery

After reaching out and going through an online troubleshooting process with Seagate, Seagate referred me to a company that charged a minimum of $950.00 just to start. I then reached out to four contractors (3 local and 1 in SO-CAL/$300Data Rec). $300 Data Recovery was the only company that had a well-designed website with very clear and data-backed statistics for possible solutions. The local companies wanted me to bring in my 2TB, Seagate, Go Flex Desk HDD for a diagnostic (their "sales reps" called me several times). Each time I spoke with them, their responses changed slightly (I had nothing in writing), and estimated costs were $500-$2,700, even though I had already explained in detail the scenario and issues with the HDD. It seemed like their primary objective was to get my HDD diagnosed, which is completely reasonable, but what they never mentioned is that once the factory seal is broken on your HDD, the minimum cost for another company to look at your HDD would increase by at least $300. So essentially, you’re stuck with them and are now at their mercy for whatever they wanted to charge. No thanks. $300 Data Recovery made no upfront promises, but after filling out the "chances" form and getting a response that included data backed statistics and possible outcomes that I was able to verify as reasonable, I decided to move ahead with the with the $300 Data Recovery solution. I dropped off my HDD and a new SSD (transfer drive), staff were very professional and technically knowledgeable, timely email updates were issued as promised (even during the nearby fires), Issue-The HDD had a faulty PCB board (100% of files recovered), HDD and SSD mailed back within one week (I could see corrosion on PCB), total cost $320.00, including insured shipping.

After my back up drive died 3 years ago I took it to two different computer repair shops and was told it was junk, cannot be repaired. I contacted a data recovery service found online and was quoted a range of $1000 to $2000 to attempt a repair with no guarantee of success. Luckily I did not dispose of it when recently I came across a referral to $300 DataRecovery. com. After reviewing their website and reviews I sent in one of their "chances of repair" forms. I received notice the next day that I had a greater than 85% chance of getting most if not all of my data back. They even included a no charge guarantee if they were unsuccessful. I took a chance and submitted my drive. What a professional experience! They kept me informed every step of the way, advised what repairs would be needed, advised that I would need a new donor drive for them to salvage parts and other than the cost of the donor drive did not charge extra for rebuilding my old drive to extract the data. After a few weeks I received 100% of my recovered data. The charges were exactly as listed on their flat fee schedule and the final cost was far less than any other data recovery service found online and less than what I had budgeted. If I could give more than a 5 star rating I would. These people are honest, straight forward in their approach to doing business and deserve all the high ratings given by other customers. If I ever need this type of service in the future, or have friends and associates needing same, my first and only recommendation would be to contact $300 Data Recovery.com

This business sounded too good to be true when researching online, but it really only cost $300 total to recover the data off of my M.2 SSD with partition failure. I initially thought this business wasn't an option due to them being based in California, but their mail-in service is very well developed. They provided excellent and descriptive communication throughout the entire process, with very prompt responses too. Many other data recovery businesses will try to upsell and essentially hold your failed storage device for ransom, but $300 DR looks out for consumers in ways I didn't think was financially viable for a business like this. If you have any data loss issues I can't recommend this company enough!

My experience was amazing with $300 Data Recovery. My daughter's iphone experienced being stuck in a "boot loop" with no backup. It was completely fried and could not even turn on. Apple suggested another site that they are affiliated with to the tune of at least $3,500. I found $300 Data Recovery and reached out. They were professional, easy to communicate with and always responded in a timely manner. I was able to have the data recovered and received everything on a portable hard drive. I would highly recommend $300 Data Recovery (and making sure your phone is backed up properly ;-) .

My mother thought all her pictures and personal files were gone for good. Fortunately, a local computer company recommended $300 data recovery. They walked me right through the process to get the drive shipped to them and within a week, they let me know they were able to recover her files. I now see why they came so highly recommended. Fast, professional and great communication every step of the way.
