“Outstanding”

Outstanding, smooth, and timely service at a reasonable cost. It was a pleasure to work with you. They recovered better than 99% of my data on a hard drive that broke over 10 years ago. Highly recommended.

“Do not use!”

This company had good reviews in previous years but now in 2024 something must have happened with them. I talked to a guy who told me it would take about a week to fix. I sent them a flash drive almost in early May they sent a text saying they received it and now I can not reach anyone to assist me with any updates. I've called, text and emailed. Do not make this mistake by using this company, you will regret it!

I was almost in tears when I mistakenly deleted an important video from my SD card. I called Salvage-data and their repmasked me to ship it immediately. Within a day I received a call back from him informing me that he had recovered my file. The prices were amazing and he was also very kind and easy to talk to. If I could give him 10 stars for the most excellent service I would. I would very highly recommend Salvage-data to any colleague, friend or family in the future

Salvagedata Recovery Services is an exceptional data recovery company. When my SanDisk stopped working, I was worried about the loss of important files. Salvagedata's team quickly assessed the situation and presented a detailed recovery plan. Their professionalism and expertise were evident from the start. Throughout the process, they kept me updated, ensuring I was informed and reassured. To my relief, they successfully recovered all my data, including valuable business records. Salvagedata's dedication to customer satisfaction and their technical proficiency are truly commendable. I am immensely grateful for their outstanding service and would highly recommend Salvagedata Recovery Services to anyone in need of data recovery expertise.

From start to finish it was a very enjoyable experience. When I first called the person I talk to is very pleasant on the phone and also very informative, telling me the process restoring my data and how much it would cost at ending on what would need to be done. I dropped off my broken hard drive and I got a email just a few days later telling me what was wrong and what it would take to restore the data if possible. I authorized to work and they had the data restored the next day. They were extremely professional and very pleasant to deal with. I don't want to have my hard drive crash again but if it does happen again I will definitely call Salvage Data!

Salvage-data is the ONLY place to go if you need to recover information that otherwise would be lost due to corrupt or damaged files! I will NEVER go anywhere else again. They were very professional, fast, thorough & fair in their price!

Wanted to recover some pics and videos from a failed drive. Not much data at all. After a quote of $3,500 and return shipping of $40 was a total waste of time and money. So much for free evaluation, $40 shipping for a 6oz hard drive...come on...

Misleading advertising.

A huge thank you to SDRS for their outstanding RAID data recovery service. When our RAID system failed, we were worried about the potential loss of years of valuable data. But SDRS's team put our minds at ease, providing us with a comprehensive recovery plan and regular updates. Their professionalism and empathy were evident throughout the process. We were overjoyed when they successfully recovered all our data, ensuring business continuity. SDRS's technical expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction are remarkable. We highly recommend them for RAID data recovery; they are reliable and trustworthy professionals.

I had a fantastic experience with Salvagedata! Their specialists skillfully conducted a logical data recovery on my corrupted hard drive, expertly handling the intricate FAT and EXT file systems. Their use of cutting-edge hardware-level techniques and cleanroom facilities ensured maximum data retrieval success. I was amazed by their RAID 5 recovery capabilities; they managed to reconstruct the array and retrieve every bit of data! The team's proficiency in handling bad sectors and firmware issues was commendable. Salvagedata is undeniably the go-to service for all data recovery needs.

I had a 2 TB USB external backup drive that I was no longer able to read from. Their technician was able to copy the files onto a new hard drive, and it appears that everything was restored correctly! I would definitely recommend Salvage-data to others with data recovery needs

I shipped my hard drive to them 2 weeks ago for data recovery after it fell in a swimming pool. I had lost any hope of recovering anything in it. 2 days ago, I had a new hdd with everything that was in my laptop in it. Excellent data recovery company here. 10/10 recommended.

Never underestimate what Salvage-data can accomplish for you. I had an ancient computer with an old hard drive that had been damaged years ago and Salvage-data still able to get a lot of information off of it. They actually managed to get all of the files I had hoped for and some that weren't as important as well. So I know that I can count on them for anything that I might need in the future. And I definitely know that they can accomplish what they say they're going to and then some. You won't be disappointed if you use them to get any of your data restoration completed either.

I paid $1333. And the first time, I was mailed a blank hard drive. They don't answer calls after you've paid your money unless you threaten them through their parent company: Outsource. I sent back my computer and the empty hard drive and agreed to have another go at it for 1/2 price. Again, they didn't return calls or emails. The next time the hard drive and computer were delivered, it was nearly impossible to find anything they had recovered. After numerous calls (including a message I sent to Oursource) the salesperson, George, called to help me find anything.
I did find files, but they were randomly organized and took hours to get through. I didn't see near what they told me they would recover.

Again, numerous unanswered calls and no refund. Don't use them for anything. I've filed complaints at the BBB of Cleveland and am filing with their municipal court, in small claims. What a racket!

These guys are incredible!
They were able to retrieve a ten-year-old drive that no one else had been able to recover.
They are both friendly and professional.
It was the second time they had recovered a drive for me.
