SecureData Inc was a life saver after a hard drive had become corrupt! They were able to recover very important information I thought was gone forever.I was very fortunate to work with Eric Dvorin. He was very attentive, responding quickly to all of my questions and concerns throughout the process.Would highly recommend!

I had a hard drive that would not boot up at all. Physically damaged components inside according to Secure Data. All files were recovered and put on a portable drive.Elijah was great to work with start to finish. Very responsive. Answered any questions I had.No hidden fees, all costs laid out up front once it was determined that they were 99% sure they could recover the data.Would recommend their services to anyone and would use them again if I needed too.

Quick responses and service. I had Jake helping me and he was very helpful, answering all my questions and giving several options. Definitely a good option if you need your data recovered, good customer service, extremely professional. Diagnosis came quickly and promptly.

We recently used the Secure Data Recovery service on a Toshiba 2 terabyte external hard drive which started having read errors and became unusable back in 2014. We tried a regular computer repair service at the time, but they were not able to recover anything. After moving twice since then, we werent sure if even a professional service could do the job, but Secure Data Recovery was able to recover over 99.7% of our files, including baby pictures of our daughter. If you are having trouble with a hard drive, I definitely recommend that you check out Secure Data Recovery.

I had a hard drive rapidly fail as I was backing it up. The service team was very fast and responsive with the process and any questions I had. The service is a little pricey, but overall customer service is great.

Good, efficient service. Very clear communication. Only negative is no up front quotes (even a general price range), which means you have to wait for diagnostics to decide if proceeding with recovery is even financially viable.EDIT 8/12/20: In my initial inquiry I described the condition of the drive and asked if I could get an estimate. I was directed to follow their standard diagnosis process (mail drive, wait, get quote, etc).

I am so glad I chose Secure Data Recovery and had Anna Kazakovtseva as my customer service representative! She was very prompt with updates and responding to my emails. She was also very kind and wonderful :) I was able to get everything off my hard drive, which was incredible news! I recommend Secure Data Recovery and if you get Anna as your representative, you are very lucky and will have a great experience!

Secure Data Recovery did an amazing and quick job! They were able to recover all my data, and my personal liaison, Eli, was amazing! It did not come cheap, but many of us would agree that there is no price that can be put on our priceless files! Well done, Eli, and thanks to Secure Data!

Secure Data Recovery Services was the best thing I did to retrieve my files on a HD that went bad. Val Krivenko was great. He actually made you feel he was a friend and concerned for my interest. He was quick to respond and answered all my questions and concerns very politely. I would highly recommend this service in a heart beat to anyone.

My dog was clean but my phone drowned.After giving my dog a bath in the river, I discovered my Galaxy Note 9 was still in my pocket. No problem it was waterproof, right. It worked fine for 2 days and in the middle of the day, I went to use it and it was DOA! Needless to say, my whole life was on there. I took it to a local shop and they did everything they could do and they said they couldn’t retrieve the data-it was gone. I never take no for an answer and I knew from having a business computer die on me that it was possible to retrieve your data. I just had to find the right company. I made many calls to receive the same answer, we cannot recover data from a water damaged phone. I would not give up! Then I talked to Chris McMacken from Secure Data and knew I had finally found the right company. He told me they had a really high rate of recovery and could almost assure me that they could get my data back. If not, it would only cost me the shipping. Chris was professional, quick and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Chris and Secure Data if you kill your phone or computer.

They were able to successfully recover over five years of what would have been lost photos, videos, and work. Our service rep, Elijah, was prompt and professional. He answered all of our questions quickly and knowledgeably.

A flash drive that was still in my laptop was broken in half accidentally. Secure Data Recovery Services was recommended to me. They were able to obtain all of the files that were saved on the drive when I thought they were gone for good. While I was very happy to have my files back, it was a very expensive lesson to learn. I would recommend them for any lost data needs!

We sent a laptop drive to be recovered after a mishap working from home. Company told us 3 days for recovery. After waiting 8 days for the recovery options, the rep stated we would need a list of files to be recovered. We said we couldnt provide a list so the company would provide a list of recoverable files. After 12 days without a list the tech stated that they are still looking at the drive. After 15 days the company became completely unresponsive. We had to speak to a manager before we could get them to send the laptop back. Would not recommend, possibly a scam company now. Specific rep name was Val Krivenko.

Elijah helped guide me through the process of retrieving my data. While I ultimately decided to hold off on total recovery for the time being, Eli was very pleasant to work with, and I will certainly consider Secure Data Recovery for any future data recovery needs I may have.

I worked with Elijah at Secure Data Recovery and he was great. Although I opted to not go through with the recovery process, he was helpful, clear and quick answering all my questions. The whole process from sending in my drive to receiving the diagnostic for review took 5 days. Eli was great and Id recommend Secure Data Recovery if you have highly critical, cant lose data which needs retrieved.

I worked with Eli from the beginning when I called Secure Data Recovery and from that point, he was very helpful and knowledgeable. He followed up with me on a regular basis, explained the process in depth, was responsive to every inquiry I sent, and made this not-so-great experience as painless as possible. Not to mention they were able to retrieve 100% of my files from my hard drive.

Working with Secure Data Recovery was an excellent experience. Rob Andersen was very helpful from start to finish. The company was able to recover all my data, and Rob worked with me on a lower price option. The recovery was nevertheless completed and the date shipped expediently. I recommend this service!

I submitted a drive with several terabytes of important video footage for my organization. Chris worked with me to bring the cost down since we are a non-profit, and he promptly and helpfully answered all of my emails. The company verified the files they had recovered before sending the drive, so I knew what I would be getting and that they had indeed recovered what they said they had. I received a vey high-quality encrypted PIN-protected 5TB drive with the recovered files in addition to the original drive I sent them. When I chose Secure Data Recovery I wasnt sure what to expect, but they did a very good job and I would use their services again.

My service contact representative Elijah Robinson was through listening to my needs for my defective hard drive. Eli explained in detail the entire process of the hard drive repair and located a store near my home to drop off the hard drive.for repair. I was informed of the progress of the repair. Keep up the good work!

I had an external hard drive with years of files and photos die on me. I tried several options for recovery and was eventually referred to Secure Data Recovery Services. Scott Moses was assigned to my case, and he was wonderful. The original estimate for recovery was pretty high, but Scott worked with me to get it reduced in exchange for a longer recovery time. He was very responsive to all of my questions and followed up to make sure I was happy. I would highly recommend Secure Data Recovery Services!

These guys are great. Ive used them a few times (unfortunately) to help recover critical data from hard drive crashes. They are straight shooters. Reasonably priced, Efficient. Good online tools to track progress. Would recommend them to anyone who has drive failures and who need to recover critical data.

About 2 months ago, I thought almost 10 years of data was gone forever -- worldwide vacation photos, videos, important documents, financial info, etc. etc. Customer service at the computer manufacturer was no help...they tried to sell me a new computer! I contacted SDR based on all of the positive reviews. Indeed I learned a hard le$$on about the importance of regular data backup, but Elis exceptional customer service, patience, and communication eased all of the stress. The entire process -- from initial phone call to accessing my recovered data -- was much easier than expected for me who is only so-so computer savvy. SDR recovered everything!! Big THANK YOU!!!!!!

Data recovery is obviously a service you hope to never need. That being said, if you get yourself into the same position that I did, I would certainly recommend Secure Data Recovery. Chris was able to work with me within my price and time requirements, and I ended up getting >99% data back and sooner than I expected.

When my external hard drive crashed, I was in tears!! I am a photographer and had everything edited and out except for half of a wedding... a photographers worst nightmare. My daughter hit my hard drive and knocked it onto the floor and I thought it was for sure a gonner. My Mac wouldnt even show it.. I sent a request into Secure Data and within minutes Jeremy called me and helped ease my mind. He sent me a prepaid label and I shipped my hard drive out. The next day i got confirmation that they received it and from that point on Jeremy kept in contact with me every step of the way. It made the process so painless! Any questions I had he was there to answer. I did not have to make any payments until my data was recovered.I am happy to say that over 90,000 files were able to be recovered and only 39 were bad!! I cant thank Secure Data Recover and Jeremy enough!

I was extremely pleased with the way my representative Frederick Wright handled my case. He did an excellent job of keeping me updated throughout the process and was very knowledgeable about any questions that I had. He was very patient with me and walked me through every step of the process. Having recently retired I was worried about the original price quote. However, Frederick worked with the lab manager to use their services during off-peak business hours which saved me almost 40% of the initial price quote. The lab was able to retrieve about 75% of the data I had on the hard drive which represents an exceptional result for me considering the state of my hard drive when I sent it in. The bottom line is that the entire process was handled very professionally and I was extremely happy with my representative Frederick as well as the result. I would use SDR again if I ever have another problem and would recommend them to anyone who might be in a similar situation.

A few weeks ago I had about 2.5 terabytes of data lost when a hard drive crashed, the read heads on the unit were physically bent/broken and the drive would no longer spin up and read. As a professional graphic artist this was my main artwork storage location for some of my most important work and I was quite afraid of losing several projects that were ongoing design jobs for my companys clients. I stumbled upon this recovery service quite by chance that afternoon and figured with the free diagnostics, it was worth a shot. I was immediately contacted by Alec Sakenes who kindly helped me through the entire process from start to finish. Recovery was a little quicker than I expected and I have regained all of my most important files for both current and upcoming deadlines. It was an overall positive experience and I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is having a drive failure of any kind.

I cant say enough about the speed and quality of customer service with Alec. At each step of the process, I received an email from him. Responses to my emails to him were returned promptly, almost always within the same day. A small amount of my data was corrupted, but it was a 99.7% successful recovery. Obviously, I learned a valuable lesson about using cloud or other backup media. But if I am ever in this situation again, (heaven forbid!), I am happy to know that Secure Data Recovery Services are in business.

Had a MacBook Pro HD go down. The secure data recovery team was quite helpful in assisting with my recovery, even helping with a more economical service because my recovery was not time sensitive. Thank you for salvaging all those priceless memories!

I was floored with the response time I got from Rob when I initially put in my request for a quote/info. I dont know if it was even 10 minutes before I got a call. Rob was very friendly, attentive and answered all of my stupid questions. I sent in my external harddrive and was given a price within a few days I believe. Unfortunately some personal issues came up and the issue with my hard drive was in rough shape, so it wasnt within the budget for me to get it repaired. Ill definitely return to get everything fixed when I have the means to do so.

Convenient drop-off site for hard drive recovery. Free diagnosis, but recovery costs were astronomical. $1500+.

Such a disaster dealing with these people. they mixed up which hard drive of mine they could recover ( after surprising me with the fact that if I didnt decide to use their services, theyd charge me return shipping!), wouldnt admit to it (even though I repeatedly showed them in the email history.) and ended up with only a discounted price on something i was not able to pay at all . (they asked me what prce i would be comfortable with, and when i named a price said thats too low, after telling me theyd match me)

I was super nervous sending my hard drive in for data recovery, as I had never screwed up bad enough to need it before, but everything worked out amazingly. My rep was Alec and he was absolutely amazing to work with. He was very patient with me, and answered all of my dumb questions. The folks at SDR were able to recover all of the data I was hoping to get back, and shipped it back extremely quickly. Hopefully I wont need to use a data recovery service again, but if I do Ill go with SDR (and probably ask for Alec again).

I was devastated when I was told my hard drive was unable to begin operation to recover data. I was referred to Secure Data Recovery Services and I couldnt be more please with how seamless and helpful this entire experience with them has been! They were able to recover more than 99% and I have my cherished memories back!

I recently had my hard drive crash. I was told it was completely empty. Needless to say, I was panicking. After searching the internet, I contacted Secure Data Recovery. After speaking with Mitchell Moore, I decided to go with SDR. Not only were they able to recover my data, the service, commitment, and communication with their representative, Mitchell Moore was outstanding. He kept me informed of the status of my data recovery, answered my countless questions, helped me through the entire process, and even responded to me on a Sunday afternoon. Very pleased with the service.

As a college instructor and PhD student, I was devastated when my dog knocked over my laptop with my flashdrive in it, causing damage to the flashdrive itself. It contained about 3 GB of lesson plans, lectures, exams, and not to mention all of my dissertation work!Secure Data Recovery put my worries at ease and were able to retrieve the contents of my flashdrive. They did so for a remarkably affordable price, matching if not beating the offer I received from a competitor. Special thanks goes to Alec, the representative responsible for handling my case, who was incredibly helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process.If youve lost important data, save yourself a freak out and get in touch with this company ASAP!

Mitchell Moore and Secure Data Recovery Services really saved the day. After we were hit by the NotPetya RansomWare attack, including our backup server, we thought all was lost, and were told as much by several IT groups. Not only were the machines un-bootable and the ransom un-payable, the MBR on all drives were toast, so we couldnt do normal data recovery efforts. Enter Secure Data Recovery Services. We sent the drives (Raid arrays) in from two separate servers and the required data (proprietary format/Not encrypted by the virus) was pulled off the un-readable drives! From the data recovered, we were able to restore both servers and loose zero data. Couldnt be happier with the results, or their service. Would recommend them to anyone with tough data problems.

Alec Sakenes is worth his weight in gold for his superb customer service! A month ago, my travel laptop HD became inaccessible due to a logic issue. I had back-up on drives at home, but due to business travel followed by family travel I was away for one month. I contacted SDR and within hours received a reassuring and comprehensive email from Alec which clearly articulated the process, including a pre-paid FedEx label to send my laptop to SDRs diagnostic facility. Alec made sure the entire process was easy, reassuring (as so many with an HD problem would appreciate), clear to understand. At every step during the process, Alec checked in (we have received your laptop, the laptop has been diagnosed, all data recovered, we are sending your data to you here is the tracking number, etc.) and he kept the recovery process transparent and low stress. From start to finish, about two weeks, I now have ALL my HD data recovered and sent to me on a new external drive. An outstanding result by SDR, and an outstanding service by Alec Sakenes! Thank you for excellent services for the individual (so many companies limit their services to the corporate market) with our computer recoveries.

Review №48

I never write reviews, so this must be good.I was SUPER skeptical with data recovery services, since I had never used one before. I had lost access to roughly 200gb of client files on an internal SATA drive. I tried several top software recovery apps, but none worked. After doing a little research on them, I contacted SDR. All reviews I had seen were really good, and they have a great rating with the BBB.I decided to move forward, even thought I still wasnt convinced that recovery was possible. I was really concerned that THEIR definition of a successful recovery would be different than mine. I was worried that maybe they would recover only *some* files, or that they would recover all files, but without the folder structure intact. In my case, I absolutely needed the entire folder structure, not just the files.To make a short story even shorter, my rep (Alec Sakenes) guided me through the process, which was fast and straight forward. He assured and REASSURED me that if I wasnt satisfied with the files they recover, that I wouldnt have to pay for it. In the end SDR recovered ALL of my files, in the original folder structure. They sent me a new drive which was virtually a clone of the one I lost. This all happened in about a weeks time. I was truly amazed.Thank you SDR for your awesome service!

A happy ending to a sad story. My laptop hard drive crashed and my company IT personnel could offer no solution. I submitted my drive to Secure Data Recoverys local office. I received a phone call (promptly) advising me that the technical personnel were highly confident that my data could be recovered. I was advised of the price and noted that if recovery was not possible there would be no charge. Paul Krouse was my project coordinator and he did a great job in communicating status, requesting information from me, etc. (My drive was McAfee encrypted with floating code of the day security parameters so I needed to provide the information to him). I was travelling during the recovery period from US east coast to west coast and back so often times I was completely off line (airplane) or out of Wi-Fi coverage but Paul was very patient and we were able to complete the recovery. My data was returned on a portable hard drive (~240GB of data) along with my trashed drive. Im missing a few files, due to destroyed sectors on my old drive, but all in all, I am very happy with the outcome. Its not a cheap proposition but how much is your information worth? Secure Data Recovery was price competitive with other services, based on internet searches and input from my company IT department so that is a plus. If you should have this misfortune, I recommend you contact Secure Data Recovery Services!
