I found secure recovery data after doing some research on effective data recovery centers online. I called them and, from the start, my customer service rep Jonathan Nguyen was incredibly helpful. He responded to my emails within minutes and consistently went the extra mile to ensure every step of the process went smooth along the way. I would recommend secure recovery data to anyone who is in need dire need of data recovery, and I would recommend Jonathan, too!

I am so relieved that I used this service! When my hard drive stopped working, I was upset and did not know what to do.Secure Data looked like the most credible option I could find online, and I was not disappointed. They are very professional. Val helped me throughout the process and made sure I was always in the loop.When I got my retrieved data, it was in a very nice hard drive with a protective case. Secure Data is legit, it’s worth the money, and I would 100% use it again.Thanks again!

One day I realized that I couldnt open my flash drive which includes many work and personal files. I never experience this issue before and was sad and nervous about my files which I did not have back up. Searched this company online and made a call and see will they able to help me recover the files. Elliot worked with me and he was fantastic. He make sure I know all the updates on my recovery and are very prompt with my emails with numerous questions. Highly recommend this service! It really works!

I just want to thank Jonathan Nguyen for his responsiveness and providing me with an easy going process. I found all the links helpful, and he was able to find a location near me to drop off my hard drive. For his customer service I would give him OVER 5 stars! Thank you so much for your hard work :) I will definitely be referring Secure Data Recovery to all my professional and personal networks.

My external hard drive stopped working and made the clicking noise of death. Eric Dvorin patiently guided me through the process of repair and recovery as the platters were damaged. It was an expensive job (in the thousands) but after some research and talking to a few friends in IT, the price was reasonable as it would take hours to repair the platters. I havent gone through all the data yet but we were able to recover a lot of the personal documents and photos. Large movie files, maybe not too lucky but thats ok.

The partition on a 4TB drive with 50 years of family video was wiped (and the file structure) by a glitch / surge and the True Image backup drive also damaged and of course I had been intending to back this up to the cloud. I didnt dare attempt to recover and called SDR. Eric was very responsive and had me set up to drop of both disks in short order.I opted for quick service and paid the inspection fee. I received a list of the files found in the directory and a price for extracting them and associating them with a tree. I was shocked by the price and Eric did a good job of explaining the difficulty involved in the case and though I was not convinced that the price wasnt high, I was convinced that SDR would get everything back and signed for the go ahead.Eric kept me informed of the progress and promptly responded to my questions by mail and with phone calls.

This was the first time I had to recover data from a hard drive and I was a little worried at first. However, my customer service representative, Jonathan Nguyen, clearly explained what I had to do, what the procedure of data recovery is going to be, and was helpful every time I contacted him, which made the whole process much easier that I thought it was going to be. Very positive experience

Jake did a great job advising me each step of the way. I had an external hard drive fail years ago that had many family pictures and a ton of files from previous computers. After finally deciding to try to recover and some internet searching looking for the best company based on reviews..I found Secure Data recovery. They were able to recover +90% of my drive. The process is definitely not cheap but to recover 5 years worth of pictures was a huge relief. Thank you Team Jake at Secure Data Recovery!

I had an external hard drive just over a year old stop working out of the blue. I contacted Secure Data Recovery through their website to ask for a free quote. One of their service reps (Ryan) called me less than an hour later. He walked me through the process and the range of possible costs and sent me a FedEx shipping label within a matter of minutes after I decided to proceed.As others have noted, turnaround time was extremely fast and Ryan kept me informed throughout the process. When I called their service line with a couple of questions about the different recovery plans, the rep that I spoke to answered them thoroughly and accurately.Secure Data Recovery was able to recover 100% of my data. I would absolutely trust them with any future hard drive issues and I highly recommend their service to others.

May be expensive, but the service is excellent. The reps are quick, not pushy and willing to make concessions to accommodate the customers. Their HIPAA certification means the data will be in secure hands The data recovery process is well structured and the customer stays informed at every step. I have used it once for full data recovery and the second time I didnt go ahead with recovery after diagnostics due to price. In both cases, the experience was smooth. I just wish the prices were lower. I have worked with rep Timur Granovskii at this location.

My client needed it’s video files back and it was a while since I used the drive and come to find out, some time in between the last time and today it got damaged and it almost lost. I called Ryan and the guys at Secure Data and they were responsive, honest and not down my throat to earn my business. After discussions and getting it done, my information was saved and the client was happy. So I am going to be using these guys in the future. Ask for Ryan Wiggins. Great guy and will take care you real good like he did me.

They havent been able to recover my data (yet), due to an access issue with Apple. But they were extremely professional and responsive in my communication with them re: my device. Shipping was fast and easy and they took great care of my device while they had it. I will be reaching out to them in 6 mo-1 year to determine if they have new technology / access available to recover the data from my iphone.

These guys are the real deal...dont listen to Dell or other computer experts when they tell you there is NOTHING anyone can do to retrieve your data. The truth is, there are people out there that can help you recover your info from your hard drive!!! Eli was very engaged and informative. Walked me through the steps and answered all questions. When it seemed that I have hit a wall, he went above and beyond to explain some options for me.

Service is exactly what you need and straight to the point. After everything else failed to recover data off a laptop HDD, Secure Data Recovery was able to retrieve it. Ryan kept me up to date with the process which is what you want in this situation. Yes, data recovery can be pricey but thankfully the diagnostic to see if the data can be pulled in the first place is free. Id use their services again if all else fails.

Choosing Secure Data Recovery to help recover my files was definitely the right way to go. I lost access to an external harddrive of mine that had back-ups for many important files that I didnt have saved elsewhere. I knew recovering them would be expensive, so I was hesitant, but I reached out to Secure Data Recovery for help.Elijah Robinson worked with me and was very quick with responses when I had questions. When I got a quote for the cost, it was a bit more than I could afford at the moment, and he helped work out an agreement for a cost that would work for me. It was especially helpful at a time like this (during a pandemic), since I wouldnt have been able to afford it otherwise.All of my important files were recovered, and it didnt take long at all to get my files back! I was really impressed with the fast turnaround time. I definitely would recommend them if youre looking for a data recovery service!

I had a relatively new WD external drive just stop responding and it contained my entire life! I called Secure Data from the list on the WD site after reviewing a few of the vendors and sent a message. Scott McMacken called me a few minutes after I submitted my inquiry and it was a Friday evening - talk about service! He talked me through what he would be able to do for me and sent me the label to ship off the drive. I did so and even though it was over the holidays, he was super efficient and kept in touch with me all along the way - sometimes through email, sometimes through phone - super responsive! And he told me it could be several weeks to recover it with the option I chose, but he had it done and on its way back to me much earlier than I expected. Cant say enough good things about Scott!A loyal customer,Marsha

I had a wonderful experience using this company. Our organizations computer hard drive crashed and Elijah Robinson our account rep was amazing to work with. He responded to his emails in a timely fashion. He was super diligent and even called when he needed to clarify important information. There was no ask that was too big . Our nonprofit organization had a wonderful experience with Secure data. We got our hard drive restored and received great customer service. I came into the process half way since someone else was handling it on our companys end and Elijah brought me up to speed and was great to work with.

He science behind Data recovery is something that is completely foreign to me. Working with Chris at SDRS was refreshing because he was able to translate data recovery in a way that I could understand. Also, since it was my personal hard drive I wanted to feel secure that I would receive all of my data back intact. Chris kept me up to speed with updates and even worked with me on the price which was awesome because this is not a cheap unexpected expense. Thanks! Would highly recommend.

This is UbreakiFix. Beware. Though I called first and was told that they would examine my computer for data recovery and sometimes can pull data from a computer that wont come on if the hard drive is not corrupted and they will look at it for free. This franchise wouldnt even look at the computer and told me to go to a shop on the north side. Waste of my time!

Review №41

We had an external hard drive that fell on the floor & as a result, it stopped working. We had a lot of family pictures that were on it that we wanted to recover. We took it to 2 different places & they werent able to do anything. We thought we has lost everything on the drive, but we kept the drive hoping one day we would find someone that would be able to extract the pictures & other files. A few years went by until I gave it another try. I found Secure Data online & after reading all the positive reviews, I decided to contact them. Eli was the rep who handed my case & he was really nice & explained the whole process. We gave then the hard drive & a couple of weeks later we were so happy when he told us that they were able to recover the data. I highly recommend them.

Review №47

First off, lets get one thing straight here: Good data recovery is not cheap. That said, Secure Data Recovery is one of the highest-rated services of its kind. And you will pay for this. But then again, what is that data worth to you on that drive or USB stick? And depending on the damage, it might take that much more work to recover your data.That said, Secure Data was kind enough to NOT charge me for just getting my drive diagnosed. Chris McMacken was friendly, empathetic and available. When I realized that I was not going to be able to pay off the recovery cost (I had several options ranging from economy to express) in one shot, he offered me the option of financing. When I explained that I really couldnt afford the service right now, he helped send my drive back with a tracking #.Would I have liked to have used their services? Yes. But after several unexpected expenses before my hard drive failure, Chris was very understanding. I got the impression that he actually cared, instead of being sent to a round-robin call center.Would I recommend Secure Data? If you want the best chance at getting your data back without compromising on quality, and if you can afford them, then yes, they are your best bet. They dont charge by a set rate, nor are there any surprises. And if they cant recover your data, you dont pay. You cant ask for much more than that.

A friend of mine had a hard drive fail that had all of their family photos on it, many of which this was the only copy. I called several companies with high ratings, however the first few I contacted seemed confused about who was the customer and who was the service provider and showed show empathy towards my friends concerns about shipping the drive, suggesting just that I insure it sufficiently. Which I called Secure Data Chris was sympathetic both to how important this data is and to the concerns about shipping the drive and was able to make arrangement to keep the data secure. The work was done quickly and it appears they recovered 99.99% of the data, with only five files being unrecoverable. Throughout the process Chris kept me updated on the process and let me know what the options were and how long we could expect each to take. Im sure my firends will be thrilled when I take the data over to them early next week. Highly recommend this company.

Ive had a crashed HD sitting around for ages with lots of My Documents, Photos and Videos loaded on it that I had tried at a local computer repair shop to get my data off of it. They told me it was too far gone but maybe some out side recovery place could get my data back. Its been sitting around for about 4 or 5 yrs and I decided to see if I could get my data off of it. I found Secure Data Recovery On-line and sent them a message. Chris McMacken answered right away, even being a Sunday night. He worked with me all the way and SDR was able to get about 90% of my data loaded on a HD that I sent them and returned to me. The Cost and turn around time were within my expectations and Im happy with their work. I would recommend them and Chris to everyone.

The quality of service I received from Alec and Ronald was beyond my expectations. They were both very patient in walking me through the entire process. I was very anxious when I first reached out to your company. Quite frankly, I did not feel very comfortable mailing my hard drive out. However, from the very beginning Ronald showed incredible awareness of my anxiety and quickly put me at ease. The information that was recovered was very important and I felt like it was in the best of hands.Alec did a great job picking up were Ronald left off. He personally updated me via email and phone. He was flawless in managing the process and created tremendous amount of goodwill between your company and I. And the best part, he followed up after the job was done. Excellent!Whoever is reading this, please understand that I am rarely this descriptive of my experiences. Usually, I just check the box satisfied or unsatisfied. These two did a really great job and should be recognized. And to think, not once have I met Alec or Ronald in person.Thank you for having good people on your team. It makes a world of difference.Sincerely,KenCase# 125810

Never does it feel good when an external drive containing irreplaceable data fails. Enter Secure Data Recovery Services. Fred responded quickly to my initial inquiry and coordinated shipping my drive for diagnosis. SDRS discovered that the drive heads were failed and the data platters severely damaged, requiring drive dissection and component replacement to enable recovery of what data remained undamaged. While the recovery was not cheap, and some files were irrecoverable, SDRS recovered the majority of the most important files.Overall I am pleased with how SDRS handled my data recovery. Fred was outstanding every step of the way, from explaining the process to coordinating recovery and getting my data back in my hand. While I hope never again to require their services, if I do at some point, I will not hesitate to turn first to SDRS.

I restarted the computer at one point, and instead of a full boot sequence, I got a folder with a flashing question mark...I knew that wasnt good. I had sought out recovery services around that time not knowing how much more airy my wallet is going to be feeling. I was able to recreate a lot of my designs from scratch and I kept my drive if I one day decided to have it recovered.Fast forward to this year (2016) and I had a 2TB External hard drive take a nose dive off of my desk amidst office renovations. I found this company through an online search and noticed there was a drop off location not far from me and decided to try it out. First of all, I really appreciated the free evaluation on both of my drives so I knew what I would be getting into price wise and data recovery wise. Jeremy Provchy was extremely helpful and made himself available via both email and phone. I was very satisfied with his devotion to customer satisfaction and service. I was close to saying no thank you at the time due to the price for one of the drives, and he was able to offer other options for recovery and thus changed my answer to a yes.He mentioned that the recovery time would be a bit longer due to the option I had chosen, but I had waited 6 years to recover it, what was another week going to change? Right? The turnaround time was MUCH faster than originally intended, 4 days...I couldnt beat that. They offered me a supervised preview of my data, and it was all there. With that said, I got my data on a 64GB USB drive. It was so simple. I definitely plan to use their services again and refer them to friends and clients, if in the future I need hard drive recovery assistance.Thank you.

Alec Sakenes was the Account Representative I reached when I called Secure Data Recovery. From the intitial discussion throughout the completion of my faulty drives recovery, Alec was outstanding in walking me through step by step of the process. Everything Alec said he would do, he did, and did it when he said he would. The contents of my drive were recovered and Im thrilled with the work Secure Data Recovery performed. I give Alec the highest of marks in working with me.

When my USB flash drive was not recognized on my computer, I stopped at a local computer repair shop and they advised me to contact a local recovery company located in southern Wisconsin. After I received their quote of up to $12,000, and not guaranteeing their work, I immediately requested my flash drive back. I conducted a google search and found Secure Date Recovery (SDR). I researched a little more and realized that this company was legit, and the previous reviews were by far the best compared to other companies I researched. I contacted SDR and Chris McMacken contacted me back immediately, and advised me of their process and their guarantee. I was really skeptical, if I would get my files back or even a portion of them. After deciding to send it in for the free evaluation, Chris contacted me back with a price for the recovery and advised that it would take a little more time due to reassembling and piecing the flash drive back together, due to the local 3rd party company disassembling the device.I was really impressed with the knowledge Chris had and keeping me informed and involved throughout the entire process. It took a couple months for the recovery, but they were able to retrieve all my files! Knowing that all my files were recovered was a huge relief. If there was a company I highly recommend, it would be Secure Data Recovery! Not only was the price reasonable, Chris was professional, polite, and he and the entire staff knew their stuff!! I can’t thank Chris and the entire staff at SDR enough. If I ever need anything recovered, SDR is the company to go to (and keep the company’s website bookmarked in your web browser).

I worked with Mitchell from secure data recovery when I careless formatted an external hard drive. Mitchell was very informative, professional, and made sure I was constantly updated throughout the process.
