I had a great experience with Secure…
I had a great experience with Secure Data Recovery! My hard drive was corrupt, with many valuable files on it. They were able to save almost everything, put it all on a brand new hard drive and get it back to me in about 2 weeks times. Eric Dvorin was so helpful and kept me informed the whole way.
Great experience
The customer service agent was very communicatve and the data recovery was much faster then told
LifeSaver!
I absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Secure Data Recovery! Being a photographer, sports and all, not to mention my very own priceless memories, I was completely stressing when my external hard drive decided to go berserk. My clients rely on me to deliver their images quickly and having reliable storage is a priority. From a business standpoint, image recovery was a necessity. From the get-go, my questions were answered and the process was explained thoroughly. I was able to send my WD Passport quickly and received a diagnostic update within a couple days. Mind you, shipping and allowing the experts to diagnose my hard drive was free--no harm in trying! Elliot Fisher provided outstanding service. He understood my dilemma and the apprehension that tagged along. He kept communication open; answering emails/calls in a timely manner, and never hesitating to call me directly with updates. The entire process was very professional--contracts to keep you covered. After the process had begun and I was updated with my recovery status, I was one hundred percent at ease with the entire situation. I actually thought, this is gonna be okay--whew! Secure Data Recovery retrieved my images from my failed hard drive, approximately 1.7tbs. Talk about relief! I cannot thank Secure Data Recovery enough.
To all my fellow photographers out there, in South Carolina and elsewhere, Secure Data Recovery is a lifesaver.

Getting back all the data I thought I had lost. Service was performed quickly.
While I appreciate the responsiveness…
While I appreciate the responsiveness of the person assigned to assist me, I feel that some things regarding the recovery of data, especially with a tablet, should have been made clear up front. While I do have my information, I have been (so far) unable to access it. I've had to download programs to my laptop that are clearly meant for people who program. Unfortunately I had to have my laptop had to be wiped clean so I have to try and start again.
The customer service was very helpful
The customer service was very accommodating. As a student I had a tight budget and the team was able to work around that to help me out. Everyone on the team showed compassion and kindness.
My Go-To for Data Recovery
Working with Secure Data Recovery was a true pleasure. I discussed my needs and they got back to me quickly, and the amount of time it took to get a fresh external hard drive back was quicker than they promised. I hope to not need the services in the future, but if required this will be my go-to company.
Great Experience and Successful Data Recovery
Customer service and technical support was excellent. Data recovery process and options were thoroughly explained and periodic reports provided on data recovery progress. I was provided with a complete breakdown of recovery results before providing authorization for completion of work and incurring charges. All communications were with a single representative who knew all of the disk problem details from my initial inquiry, all the way to shipment of the new disk drive with all of the recovered data. Very pleased with the results and glad that I contacted SecureDataRecovery.com.
Results far exceeded my expectations
I went in with low expectations that none or very little of my data would be recovered. Jonathan and team managed to recover almost all of my precious memories on a dropped hard drive with a short turnaround time. I couldn't be more happier.
Quick, efficient and polite workers
I had a fantastic experience with Secure Data company. Their data retrieval was incredibly quick and efficient, and they offered a lot of encouragement throughout the process. I was in a tight spot with vital data, and they acted swiftly to get it back to me. Their clear communication and positive attitude made a world of difference. I highly recommend Secure Data for their outstanding service and support. They turned a potentially disastrous situation into a success story!
MOST DEFINITELY!!
I can't speak highly enough about this company and its staff. Extremely remarkable. They do what they say they are going to do - kindly and quickly. Thank you!
My portable drive failed suddenly
My portable drive failed suddenly, and unfortunately was not backed up properly. Secure Data Recovery Services was able to recover all of my data, thankfully. I spoke to Elliot on the phone and dropped off my device for an initial evaluation. He was very clear about the process, the costs and the timeline. Throughout the process he answered questions for me quickly and patiently! Though I hope to not find myself in the same situation again, I would highly recommend the service.
Lost media forever
Very high pressure sell, assuring recovery. Misstated fees and handling costs which created surprises. Once media was received, I received a note stating they would be able to recovery the data. I later learned this wasn't true, but they could attempt additional recovery methods for an additional fee. Our media was lost when shipping back to us. SecureDataRecovery's response was 'they submitted a claim to the shipping company.' We not only wasted our money, but now do not have the media to attempt to get it fixed anywhere else. It contained all childhood pictures of our kids from birth to present. Gone forever! Do not use!
What I appreciate about SecureDataRecovery was timely feedback.
What I appreciate about SecureDataRecovery was feedback throughout the process and in the end the data it need recovered. We often forget how important something is until it is lost. You recovered important data that would have been impossible to regained.
Elliot was very trustworthy and helpful.
Don't Go Anywhere Else!
Don't Go Anywhere Else!! It was an extremely quick and efficient process in retrieving my information from my broken external hard drive. Highly recommend Secure Date Recovery!
Valiant Effort
I was in a particularly difficult situation with a damaged platter-- a really messed up external hard drive. SDR was able to get many of my files recovered, despite losing others. Jonathan Nguyen kept me informed of the process and what to expect. He was helpful and responsive. Overall, it was a valiant effort and I appreciate the files I was able to get back.
Timothy R. and SDR team
Timothy and the team at Secure Data Recovery were very professional, responsive, and patient. The hard-drive failure and potential loss of photos and files was very stressful for me and they explained the process and the answered my questions about the data recovery. Timothy responded directly and the team was easy to work with overall. I would recommend Secure Data Recovery.
