I knew that somewhere there was a photo with me and Guillermo Ochoa and with it being the World Cup and his last game before retirement, I wanted to find it so bad! The device had all of my photos from my late teens and early 20's and I was worried they would not be salvageable. Wayne was so helpful and rushed the processing so I could get my photos on time. I was so happy that everything was recovered! I highly recommend them for data recovery services Here's the photo with Guillermo Ochoa from 2008!

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!

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 was so kind and patient, and went above and beyond my request to try to recover data lost, updating me as he worked on the drive, and gave me a fair price.

I took my AIO, nearly in panic, to the random Data Recovery place nearest me. I was genuinely worried that I might have lost a tremendous amount of a very important body of work The place turned out to be ASAP Data Recovery. Man, what a lucky break Daniel greeted me with a calm voice and a smile, then quickly interviewed me about my issue He quickly figured out what most likely could or would be the problem and gave me a very rough, informal estimate on the cost and the likely outcome of their effort Very importantly, he commited to finding out what had undeniably caused my computer's failure at absolutely no charge to me. His words were, roughly, "once we know exactly what has caused the failure we will get back to you with an estimate AND A LIKELY OUTCOME." The latter was very important to me (as it is to most other prospects, I suppose), because of the importance of the data hoped to be recovered Long story short, I got back EVERY SINGLE FILE I thought I had lost and I couldn't be happier! Price depends, needless to say, on the amount of data recovered, so it's pointless to mention anything regarding that, but suffice to say, I am very happy with the value of data recovery relative to its importance Value-wise, every case is unique, so you make up your own mind after the initial estimate but I am supremely happy with ASAP Data Recovery because I got EVERY SINGLE FILE that I needed and I picked up exactly where I left off once I got the files back All of that said, try to avoid the need for this service! Please, unlike me, back up all of your files religously after every session doing important work! Best of luck to you!

Robert at LowCostRecovery was able to repair the drive and recover 100% of my files - it only took about a week. He asked for no money up front and would only charge me if I accepted his results. It ended up costing less than a third of what a big box store (that will remain unnamed) wanted to charge me. Those, uh, "geeks" wanted $1750 up front to attempt recovery. If they were "successful", which they defined as any number of files restored (even just one), I could accept it for the $1750, or decline it, in which case they would still keep $1300. So potentially just a few files for $1750, or nothing for $1300. I'm not a business, it's just family stuff and couldn't justify that cost. So happy I found Robert. My family thanks you for saving our precious memories.
