For once in my life, I hadn't backed up a drive (that I had no reason to think was about to…read morefail...but that's my fault all around). If you've ever been kicked to the curb in a relationship and had no idea what happened, but you had your heart and soul in it and no matter what you tried, you couldn't fix it, well, you'll understand the feeling I had. In the case of my hard drive, however, I was glad I found Ace Data Recovery, who could fix it. My drive had some precious data and artwork on it, and Ace Data got it back. As you likely know or will find out, this is not a cheap proposition. All drives will eventually fail and, fortunately, these days it's fairly inexpensive to buy a good external drive. But if the day comes that you're stuck and need an honest assessment by a reputable company...this is a good one. Diana and Don were very helpful and responsive, and I got back everything I'd hoped for. Fwiw, I spent several weeks after first contacting them, learning everything I could about data recovery and comparing prices. Ultimately, it became obvious that it's faster and safer (and cheaper in the long run) to take your drive to an expert. The price I received from Ace Data was consistent with other places of the same caliber! That's the important distinction if you want a reliable, quality level of service -- in short, you get what you pay for, and I did.

The review sites provide the designated method or responding, and generous methods to get inappropriate reviews taken down. This operation looked me up, called me, and texted me repeatedly. Each round gets a little more aggressive. This location quoted $200 more to clone a hard drive before replacing it (going from a factory spinner to solid state). This process involves inserting the new memory stick into an enclosure, selecting source, destination and clone in the software, letting it run 20 minutes, test booting from it, and removing the memory stick from the enclosure. The work is so trivial that most shops include it with the swap quote. Other shops charge about $10 for the incremental labor involved.

While she has the hands and nose of a model and the feet of a toddler, Baby J's 3 pairs of reader glasses are an egregious display of poor vision. The art is questionable including a hand-drawn framed picture of the owner's beloved cat whose eyes follow you, creating a distracting level of discomfort and paranoia. It's difficult to relax at Jessica's Place because the owner's energy is that of a caffeine fueled meth addict, not to mention the line outside the door and the unpredictable office hours despite signage indicating otherwise. Expect to be overwhelmed by projector sized monitors and a flurry of furious SQL queries, only to be outdone by the owner regaling tales of her morning cold plunge and meat sweats. I left covered in cat hair, sober, and questioning everything I thought I knew about Excel. The only worse business in Arlington is Matty B's.
