Wayne, Words cannot…read morebegin to describe the process from start to finish. I had a 512GB sd card that went bad a few days ago and I was frantically searching for places to assist in this recovery. I sent out a yelp project request and Wayne was one of the few people that was willing to take on the request. Mind you I asked on a weekend and Wayne said to bring it on in for an evaluation. WITHIN MINUTES, saw it was recoverable and so the rest is history. Wayne and his team made sure I knew what was going on through reports and multiple phone calls. I paid additional for rush but STILL ALL WORTH EVERY CENT. Exceeded the standards for sure. Best part is not only the level of service and hospitality, but my data has been saved. So thank you very much Wayne and your team! It may sound as if I'm overexaggerating but honestly come to Wayne and his team and you'll understand where I'm coming from. I will return for future recoveries! -John

I needed to recover important data from a flash drive that had stopped functioning. When I…read morestarted calling around for help, I was floored by the cost estimates I was getting. Then I talked to Wayne at Data Recovery Man (aka Alandata.com). He quoted me a very reasonable price and told me to bring the flash drive down to his Santa Ana shop for an evaluation. I took the device down to Wayne, and barely a couple of hours later I was back in my office WITH MY RECOVERED DATA. To say I am a happy and satisfied customer would be a monumental understatement. Great Service for a very reasonable cost. Thanks, Wayne!

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.

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...

After having 3 other companies out to help me with what I thought would be a simple fix. Connecting my printer to my computer. Ended up being a complete headache. I was thinking I was going to have to get a new computer and/or printer. Paul was my 4th company and attempt to help me. I wish I would have called him first. He figured out it was a network issue and my different devices were pulling different IP addresses, thus not being able to connect. He reconfigured everything and went in and labeled everything and showed me exactly what to do if I have any issues in the future. He also went above and beyond. I was never able to get my scanner to properly connect with my computer and he did that too! If you have any computer/ network issues. Do yourself a favor. Call Paul first.
