Exemplary service from Mark

Exemplary service from Mark. Calm, efficient and extremely professional. I would certainly recommend Mark, and this company, to anybody faced with a loss of data. I could not have wished for better service.

Top rate service from start to finish

Top rate service from start to finish. One of the few firms I emailed who dained to reply to me as an individual rather than a company. The whole process was explained to me in detail along with cost. The external drive was picked up by UPS and a new one returned the same way. Mark Cooney kept me informed every step of the way and was a tremendous help and was the reason I chose to go with Secure Data Recovery.

Secure Data Recovery Saved the Day (and DATA)

I had an external storage system with two hard drives mirroring my photos going back about 30 years. My computer would no longer recognize the external storage and it turns out that both of the hard drives had physical damage. I thought my entire photo library was lost. I turned to Secure Data Recovery and they were able to recover all of my data. I couldn’t have been more relieved. I could not imagine losing all that family history and travel history, but I was on the brink of having to accept that outcome until Secure Data Recovery recovered everything. Thank you to this company and I can’t recommend highly enough that you reach out to them if you are in this situation.

Best!

I had to sell my home this year and in the process my hard drive didn’t seem to have made it. All my photos of my son were gone! I was completely devastated.. I reached out the the maker of the drive and they directed my to secure data recovery, and I have to say I couldn’t be happier. They saved almost everything that was on my drive, helped me every step of the way, and it was returned to me so quickly! Thank you for everything you did! I couldn’t be more thankful.

Highly recommend

Sandisk refers to Secure Data Services for recoveries from the defective Sandisk Extreme Pro 4 TB SSDs. I tried Disk Drill first and it only returned corrupted files. Secure Data Services was able to quickly recover everything without corruption, and sent me screenshots to verify. The Secure Data Services team members were kind, responsive and professional, which was also great. Much gratitude to them.

Excellent Company

I am extremely thankful for the professional, responsive and honest assistance with the whole process from beginning to end from Elliott Fisher at SDR. He made himself available to answer all my questions, which I appreciated and took advantage of. Throughout this process, I was kept informed of the recovery process, and of the options for delivery of the recovered data.
The service I received from him was exceptional and beyond what I was expecting. He takes the time to explain things until I was comfortable. I am glad I chose his company and would definitely recommend him. I would definitely use SDR again.

Outrageous prices

I'm sure they're good at what they do, but their prices are outrageous. Find a small local business for data recovery; big names like this will not charge you less than $1500 for what an independent could do for $500 or less.
