Advanced Data Recovery: Hard drive crash or accidental deletion?

Hard drive crashes happen

All technology fails at some point and that includes hard drives. Hopefully, you have an excellent backup service and are able to get your files back easily, but if not, all is not lost! You CAN get those family photos, business documents, or school files back!

How does it work?

Bring the device in to our Edmonds shop and pay the $100 diagnostic charge. (The diagnostics charge is non-refundable but will be applied towards the recovery)
We'll check it in and begin the diagnostic process.
Once we have determined the extent of the damage, we will classify the recovery into the appropriate industry-standard data recovery level. (Table Below)
We will call you to give you a price and an estimated recovery probability percentage.
If you approve the recovery, we will proceed and let you know when done.
When complete, you may choose to bring in your own media to copy the restored data to or you may purchase a drive from us.
