I was referred here through IG Repair Repair. Great referral guys! Excellent, friendly, quick service. Recovered 100% data off my hard drive. Phew! My precious family photos! Thanks for everything! read more

found these guys online with great reviews. have used many times for restoring data and were able to restore files. great work, with fast service. also very considerate about offering choices of different price points. highly recommend! read more

What can I say? You be the judge. I brought in an old hard drive to get the files moved to a thumb drive. Right off the bat, it's $65 just to look at the drive to see if the files are recoverable. A little steep, but assuming it would be applied to the recovery charges, I approved it. When I returned, the guy informed me that he had to purchase equipment to retrieve the files, so it was going to cost over $600. Really? If you advertise yourself as a file recovery service, shouldn't you already have everything you need for the job? And am I supposed to pay for the tools that every subsequent customer is going to get for free? I lost $65. Probably a bargain when I think of what else could have gone wrong. read more

I stopped by today to get my external hard drive repaired. The Magic Data team took 5 minutes to review/discuss and gave me advice to not repair it since they already knew they couldn't do it (was going to refer me to another place and it would cost a lot). It's hard to find decent persons out there and at the end of the day he told me not to repair it, but to hold onto it in the future (I have some old pictures and other documents but not worth the amount of money I would spend to retrieve the data). He could've charged me to give me this advice and go to another location. Due to this, I wanted to share my experience and that honesty goes a long way. read more

Went here a number of years ago so this post is overdue, yet the timing makes sense. I had an external drive die on me and brought it here for data recovery. Most of the data was recovered but on the file/folder structure was missing, so I needed to sift through random folders to find anything of value and most of them (100s of them) had nothing. Could just be part of the recovery process, so that is not my complaint. I believe my final bill was close to $500, which included a Western Digital USB drive that Magic Data Recovery sold me to take home with my rescued data. Once I was home I did sift through all the folders and cherry picked what I needed to backup, again, onto another drive. Fast forward to 2 years later when I need to access the drive provided by MDR and it wouldn't mount. I didn't want to initialize it so I shelved it for a "later" project, perhaps another data recovery. I just found another Blueray backup I made when I was first given the drive, so the WD USB drive was no longer needed. I wanted to destroy the Hard Drive platters, so I dismantled the case, only to notice they sold me a "recertified" USB hard drive not meant for resale. Could be why it died a premature death, so buyer beware here. read more

Fantastic service. I needed to have data from a hard recovered and transferred to a new computer. The Best Buy Geek Squad said the drive was damaged and they could not recover the data.

Now these guys are really the Best. I totally recommend them if you should need this type of service. read more

Magic Data Recovery lives up to their name because the team works magic! I recently have been moving THOUSANDS of photos from a very old laptop to my MacBook by using a flash drive to transfer over the photos. I then woke up one day and my flash drive randomly stopped working to which I took it over to the Geek Squad where I was told that it was dead and would be unlikely to be recovered but I could try taking it to a data recovery center. With a quick yelp search I came across the Magic Data team and immediately called them. They said to bring it over which later on find out that there was a crack in the chip itself and that is why it was unrecoverable. I was really worried but we came to the idea that even though I had "permanently deleted" the photos off of the laptop by this point that data could be recovered and that is exactly what they did. I took my laptop in and got all my photos back! Anyone who has lost an entire lifetime of data knows how stressful the situation can be but the team here was amazing and explained everything thoroughly to me during the process. Hopefully I never need to come back again but should a device of mine fail like that again I'll definitely be bringing it back to the Magic Data team! Thank you guys!! read more

Absolutely saved me. I came to Magic Data Recovery with a completely dead drive holding 7TB of my work -- projects, archives, stuff you can't lose... From the start, they were honest and clear. David, who primarily helped me, walked me through their process: a $65 diagnostic fee (with no promises, because that's just how data recovery works) and he was upfront about their expertise and quoted me around $600 if recovery was possible. I could tell they weren't just trying to squeeze a quick sale out of me. He understood my problem and was realistic and sincere about a possible solution. Anyway - fast forward a week, and I get a call: they'd recovered everything. The drive failure was caused by a corrupted partition and they managed to recovered all 7TB of video files, photos, and documents. I was beyond thrilled. The final cost was $580 total, which included: * Diagnostic * Recovery * A brand new 8TB Seagate drive to store the recovered data I work in media production, so I wasn't just paying to get my data back. I was paying to get my livelihood back. These gentlemen delivered! This type of work is vital. Whether it's creatives like me or in fields like crime and forensics, recovered data can literally change people's lives. David mentioned they're hoping to reach more clients in those areas, and I think they absolutely should. Support this business. The work they do has real impact. read more

Friendly, efficient and reliable. Had a 1 tb ssd crash and they recovered everything. Was under a major time crunch and they got it done.

Don't bring your anything apple related, old guy over the phone said they could do something about it, but turns out, they can't and that I should just go to the Apple Store after driving there. So if the problem is hardware related don't go here. They can only do what a quick Reddit search can and save your money. read more

Amazing experience! Very professional and fast. I would definitely suggest them!! Also good customer service

This review is long past due. Mike at Magic Data is a miracle worker. I had to access my data from an outside hard drive that failed for work and he was able to retrieve the data. He was also able to help me with creating a redundant copy of the data so that everything was secure. He did it quickly and was very helpful and several years later I am still so grateful for his help. Very talented and excellent service. read more

We took our Mac to this place when the whole thing went dark. We spoke to David. He told us that our computer was done due to water damage. Depending on that assessment, we gave the computer to the store and bought a refurbished MacBook Air from the store. We bought the 1 year warranty. We got the computer home and the touch pad did not work, despite David's guarantee that the computer was in perfect working order. The more we used it, the more things went wrong. We couldn't get Google Chrome to load and act correctly. We tried to return the computer, but David refused to take it, claiming that despite his representations and the warranty we had purchased, "there was nothing he could do." To put it simply-- WE GOT SCAMMED. Do NOT use this company!!! read more
