I am lucky to have encountered Secure Data Recovery Services of Albuquerque at last, after having been kicked around from one tech repair center to another. Problem is, no one wants to assume the risk of doing data recovery. It's not in the contract for tech support, and hard drive manufacturers are only willing to replace the drive with a working one. Data is precious to people, which is why nobody but the specialty firms who deal with nothing BUT data recovery are the only ones willing to do it.
Secure Data Recovery was able to recover a lot of the data we asked for within 2 days of our coming to them. It wasn't cheap, but data recovery never is. In fact, there was a company who gave us a low quote that we turned down - it was very suspicious, and I know that the data recovery business is chock full of scammers. I recommend that others do the same if they encounter something similar.
We were pleased with the whole operation, and found Secure Data Recovery Services to be very professional about their services. They called us often to update us on the status. They followed through with the promise they made in their initial evaluation. They charged us nothing until the very end, when we had the data back to us.
I recommend going with Secure Data Recovery Services if you are trying to find a reputable data recovery company that is trustworthy and professional.
