I lost my data from my external drive…

I lost my data from my external drive and I couldn't find a way to obtain my lost information. I found Secure Data Recovery via online search and they appeared to be a reputable company specializing in recovering data from external drives. The service rep was very helpful and walked me through every step of the process. He had followed up with me multiple times and after a few simple steps, Secure Data was able to recover my lost information and 100% of my data was successfully recovered.

The communication with SDRS was…outstanding!

The communication with SDRS was fantastic!! Jonathan let me know step by step what they could do for me and received my permission every step of the way. They recovered all my files from my failed thumb drive. So grateful for that as I had photos of my deceased son on it...just so happy they recovered all my files.

Working Secure Data Recovery was super…

Working Secure Data Recovery was super easy. Jake was attentive and helpful from start to finish. They were able to accommodate my organizations needs. Only 16 files were lost from our badly damaged drive out of the thousands of files we could have never seen again. I hope I never have to call them again, but if we lost another hard drive they would be the ones I call.

Great company!

Recently my WD My Book stopped working and I was truly devastated and unaware of what fixing it would entail. I reached out to Secure Data Recovery and a few other companies. Jonathan from Secure Data Recovery was one of the first to get back to me. He explained the process and offered his support in this very stressful situation. He and his colleagues were all SO super helpful from start to finish and they were very quick to answer my questions. This was heads and tails above what I was seeing from other companies, which is what made me choose Secure Data Recovery to do this work for me. I am really pleased with the results and cannot thank Jonathan and his team enough for their care and assistance.

What a Relief!

Elliott Fisher and the folks at Secure Data Recovery provided their services as advertised, on a time frame that exceeded expectations! True to their name, they were able to Recover and Secure the Data I feared had been lost. It isn’t inexpensive but miracles rarely are.

Photo recovery

Had a really great experience! Eric was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and helped me get the data off of my broken laptop. Very timely and I’m so thankful. I now have photos of my kids that I may have lost. Would definitely recommend.

Glad I Chose Secure Data

Scott was very communicative and patient with me and my questions. Unfortunately, not all of my lost data could be successfully retrieved, but I have full confidence in Secure Data and their ability to do the best job possible. They kept me updated throughout the process and took the worry off my shoulders. I would definitely recommend them.

100% of data recovered from MacBook Pro M1

A couple of months ago, I had the unfortunate mishap of spilling white wine on my relatively new MacBook Pro M1, which led to the complete shutdown of my laptop. With a nearly full 1TB disk of critical, unbacked-up data, I was devastated by the potential loss. I initially approached Apple for assistance. But their quoted repair, (at more than half of the price of a new computer) would be destructive to the data. These new MacBooks have basically everything – including the SSD – integrated on the motherboard, and rather than repairing individual components, they would replace the entire motherboard. As the data was actually more important to me that the computer itself, I had to continue shopping elsewhere. At that point, I frankly didn’t even know if data recovery was possible, considering all the security that Apple built into the system. After discovering Secure Data Recovery online, I filled out the necessary forms and was assigned Elliot as my point of contact. Elliot's guidance and support throughout the entire process were invaluable. He patiently addressed my concerns and provided a detailed explanation of the data recovery procedure. Data recovery took about 5 weeks and incurred significant costs, but they were able to successfully recover 100% of my data. Exceptional work! Thank you!

When I knocked a full glass of water…

When I knocked a full glass of water onto my computer I just couldn’t believe it! Fortunately I found Scot at Secure Data Recovery in Portland and he took me firmly in hand and made me feel everything would be OK. He was wonderful and got me to a full recovery. If this happens to you, you need a Scot in your life. Thank you Scot.

Excellent service and communication.

I was kept informed as to the status of data recovery from my hard drive. The information recovered was sent as a list of files that I able to review. Impressed and relieved with the data that was presented. I will use and recommend Secure Data Recovery in the future. Thanks for the services received.

Memories and Data restored!

Scott helped me get back my wife's photos of family member that passed. When we struggled with the cost he worked with us so we could save our memories and data. I never felt like a customer more like a friend. Thank you.

Great Service

I was super fortunate to find Secure Data Recovery Services to assist with a corrupted solid state drive. I was in danger of losing many years of outlook emails. I was assigned Jacob Medina as my account rep. He did a great job of explaining the process and put me at ease that they could help. In a few weeks I received my lost files back - what a blessing.

Great customer service

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt one was necessary this time. Secure Data Recovery was able to repair our external hard drive that had stopped working; it included numerous pictures from our wedding, first five years of marriage, work files backup, and more. Just as important as the repair itself, Scott was always available and helpful each step of the way with what I believe was the best customer service I have ever had with a company. We are truly appreciative and highly recommend this company to anyone in a similar situation.

Quick and confidential - these are the guys

Eric and SDRS have been extremely professional and exactly the right team with exactly the right attitude during my moment of crisis. What could have been a potentially confusing and stressful situation was completely avoided with a combination of considerate patience and technical confidence from Eric and SDRS. If you find yourself needing help to recover data while maintaining confidentiality with rapid delivery look no further than SDRS - A+++++
