I highly recommend Kotar Data Recovery. My drive was in terrible condition. I initially tried to…read morerun diagnostics myself using TestDisk and DiskPart from the Windows Recovery environment. When I checked it via TestDisk on macOS, the HDD appeared as 0 bytes / 0 GiB, indicating a much deeper disk or partition-level issue. It turned out the PCB was damaged, the translator was corrupted, and two heads were misaligned. Despite the severe damage, Kotar successfully recovered 100% of my data, and I am incredibly happy to have everything back. I trusted them from the start because of their "no data, no charge" policy. What makes them even better is that they are a trustworthy, local business right here in San Jose. Unlike many of the large data recovery services, you don't have to mail your drive away to some random location. If you need data recovery, look no further than Kotar!

I have not gotten a service done with them, but my experience through this process as I tried to…read morefigure out if my external hard drive was actually functioning or not was incredible by the team. I got prompt replies and messages and follow ups to ensure that my data is safe and is recoverable. I highly recommend working with Kotar data recovery, just for the experience.

A 100 out of 10. There is no other choice. Computer expert, computer friendly. The very best service ever. Thank you, Scott!
