When my portable hard drive started making ominous clicking sounds instead of spinning up, I was pretty much resigned to the fact that I had lost over 1000 irreplaceable holiday and family history photos as well as my family history data files and my recently updated work files. \r
\r
On returning home, I called several different computer consultants who all said that my data was gone for good when I described the symptoms. \r
\r
With a bit of searching I came across California Data Recovery Services and I sent them an email outlining my situation. Almost immediately they got back to me and I sent off the broken drive. \r
\r
Within a few weeks (as I live in Los Angeles) I was viewing all of the files and photos that I never expected to see again. \r

The guys at California Data Recovery Services are a professional outfit. The service was swift and friendly with regular updates on progress. You don't often get customer service like this.
