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!

Choose these folks for your data recovery needs! I had two WD (called Western Digital when they…read moredrives were made) HDDs that I needed data from. I was unable to recover data from them in different ways. Disc one was an external drive that would not power on. I tried removing it from its external enclosure and powering it from another, more different enclosure to no avail. The system was indeed down. Disc two was an internal drive that used to be my C drive- my boot drive. I removed it from an old computer after it stopped booting and put it into an external enclosure. Several different computers (Mac & PC) would recognize it sporadically, though none could access the data on it- error codes always came up. Before I removed it, from the old computer, I tried booting from an optical disc and other assorted methods, many other assorted methods... I believe I was very thorough in my efforts. I sent both in and received near 100% recovery. They said it was 100% from one and 99.9% from the other but I am unable to find that .1%. I got all of this for just barely above the $300 price in their name (each, not total). So for about $600 total (including new discs on which my recovered data was transferred and return shipping) I got this incredible service. The total price I paid for both discs at 300DDR is less than I was quoted at several other places for one disc. At each step they were great communicators, from their receipt of the discs to my receipt of the recovered data. I hope I never need their services again but should, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend them.

I used to backup my files regularly but I got lazy after moving cross country a year ago. Imagine…read morehow distraught I was when last month, one my SSDs failed due to a corrupt MFT. And worse it was the one that held all my photos over the last couple of years. I'm an engineer by trade and with other files, I might have tried to rescue them myself. For these important photos, however, I decided to go with the professionals. I did a bunch of research trying to find the best data recovery service to use and $300 Data Recovery turned out on top. The employees here are very professional and responsive. I submitted my chances form at 7:30PM on a Saturday and they got back to me within an hour. I was not expecting a response over the weekend. They gave very clear instructions on how to package and send off my SSD. I dropped it off at UPS the next day and by Wednesday, they confirmed they received the device and added me to the queue. Apparently there weren't too many people in line before me so I received a positive response the very next day. 100% of sectors recovered! A couple of days later they were completely done and after I confirmed they recovered my files (they send a master list of all files) and I paid ($300 fee + $105 recovery transfer drive + $25 shipping), they shipped my drive back. Total time from my first contact to receiving my data back: 16 days, and this was including Thanksgiving in between. I am very satisfied with the service I got from $300 Data Recovery. Hopefully I never run into drive trouble again (it certainly made me backup my files more frequently), but if I ever need help, I'll definitely contact them again. Now I can finally post all my Yelp reviews from November and December that I was missing photos for...

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!

ASAP Data recovery is phenomenal. When I first met Daniel he explained to me what could potentially…read morebe wrong with the hard drive and the potentiall recovery methods. Daniel made me feel very comfortable leaving my hard drive with him and said I would only have to pay if I was happy for with the recovery!!! Before I went to ASAP recovery I tried another computer place who said they recovered my files but nothing was in order and the files were cut off. Daniel was very patient with me and tried to get back every file he could. He was able to recover 95 percent of my work!!! The file structure was in order and all the files worked!!! ASAP recovery efforts saved me a lot of time and I am very thankful Anyone who needs to recover data I would trust ASAP Data recovery over anyone else!!!

Quick Fix & Fair Price for My MacBook…read more So I needed my MacBook screen replaced (and wow, I didn't realize how expensive Mac screens are ). I brought it here, and they were able to fix it for me at a reasonable price. The only thing was they didn't have the exact matching case color in stock my laptop is the darker gray, and they only had the lighter gray frame but they gave me a discount for that. Plus, they told me that once the darker gray came in, they'd swap it out for free. When I picked up my MacBook, I noticed I couldn't copy/paste anymore. Turned out it wasn't the repair itself, but some update my computer needed. I brought it back, and they reset everything properly so it worked again. Luckily, my computer was new so I didn't lose anything major, and they made sure it was running smoothly before I left. At the end of the day, I decided not to go back for the darker gray frame honestly, it didn't matter to me anymore. I just grabbed a sleeve, and it looks fine. Overall, the price was fair, the service was helpful, and they took care of the problem. If you're in a bind and need your Mac fixed without Apple-store-level pricing, this is a solid option.

I watched him provide good service to other customers right in front of me. But when it came to me, I couldn't even give him my money. I am a Black man, and I was completely turned away and treated differently from everyone else. I explicitly offered to pay for the services, and put in my own time and effort just to get help, but he refused to serve me. There was absolutely no legitimate business reason for this treatment. What felt the worst was the owner's total indifference--he didn't seem to care at all that he was being completely unfair, treating me differently, or that his behavior was hurtful. I have the data of exactly how this interaction went down. Take your devices, your time, and your hard-earned money somewhere else where customers are actually treated with basic fairness and human respect.

Luckily, this time they were open and I must say that i was pleasantly surprised at the level of service they provide. 1.) he diagnoses your computer on the spot for free and tells u exactly whats wrong with it. 2.) gives you the price up front with no bs fees trying to trap u to use them (i.e diagnosis fee). 3.) backed my needed drives 4.) fixed the computer same day 5.) not only fixes the computer but makes it even better with added ram and free software that u normally have to pay for. Ive went to many local computer repair stores and i must say this store is the best by a long stretch! This store is legit and i couldn't be happier to have finally found a comp repair store that know what they are doing and not trying to rip u off. I plan on always using them in the future for all my comp repairs. Just make sure to call ahead to make sure someone is there.
