What I appreciate about SecureDataRecovery was timely feedback.
What I appreciate about SecureDataRecovery was feedback throughout the process and in the end the data it need recovered. We often forget how important something is until it is lost. You recovered important data that would have been impossible to regained.
Elliot was very trustworthy and helpful.
Don't Go Anywhere Else!
Don't Go Anywhere Else!! It was an extremely quick and efficient process in retrieving my information from my broken external hard drive. Highly recommend Secure Date Recovery!
Valiant Effort
I was in a particularly difficult situation with a damaged platter-- a really messed up external hard drive. SDR was able to get many of my files recovered, despite losing others. Jonathan Nguyen kept me informed of the process and what to expect. He was helpful and responsive. Overall, it was a valiant effort and I appreciate the files I was able to get back.
Timothy R. and SDR team
Timothy and the team at Secure Data Recovery were very professional, responsive, and patient. The hard-drive failure and potential loss of photos and files was very stressful for me and they explained the process and the answered my questions about the data recovery. Timothy responded directly and the team was easy to work with overall. I would recommend Secure Data Recovery.

Great communication
Great communication! Very responsive and easy to work with from start to finish. Will definitely use them again as the need arises.

The service provided by Elliot was outstanding. There was a little confusion and weirdness concerning the cost of services, and we are still at the point wherein I havent received the data back (so maybe this is premature) but overall, things went quite well.
Legit if you need your data back
Legit if you need your data back
Wasn't cheap lol (go figure) but for what I paid it would cost someone else 10x -20x to recover all of the projects that I would have lost they managed to recover everything when all of the other recovery spots local to me we unable to so for that I'm grateful!
Lifesavers

Able to recover 96%. Not cheap but I appreciate getting my data back.
In today's fast-paced digital world
In today's fast-paced digital world, losing critical data can be crippling. That's why my experience with Scott at Secure Data Recovery was such a relief during an extremely stressful time.
From the moment I reached out to Secure Data Recovery, Scott was nothing short of professional, empathetic, and remarkably competent. His initial consultation was thorough, taking the time to understand exactly what data I had lost and what the circumstances were. He set realistic expectations for me, clearly outlining the potential challenges and timeframes.
The diagnostic process was efficient and transparent. Scott provided regular updates, making sure I knew exactly where we were in the recovery process. His technical skills were evident in how effortlessly he explained complex jargon in layman's terms, helping me understand what was happening every step of the way.
But what truly set Scott apart was his customer service. Data loss is stressful and often urgent. Scott seemed to understand this intuitively. He was consistently responsive, answering emails and calls promptly and making me feel like I was his only client. His genuine concern for my situation made an otherwise stressful experience a lot more bearable.
In terms of results, Scott and his team were able to recover nearly all my lost data. Considering I thought it was a lost cause, this outcome far exceeded my expectations. The data was returned in a secure and easily accessible format, and I was back in business in no time.
To anyone facing data loss, I can't recommend Scott at Secure Data Recovery enough. His blend of technical expertise and exceptional customer service are unparalleled. I came to him with a problem, and he provided a solution that was timely, efficient, and ultimately, lifesaving for my business.
Can't Recommend Enough!!!! Don't hesitate, use SDR!
Scott really helped make my experience great. He calmed my anxiety and assured me that SDR helps people all the time with data recovery. Thank you so much!!!
Critical Data Recovery
Secure Data Recovery was able to successfully extract critical files from a failed hard drive. The customer service was excellent (kudos to Scott) – clear explanations of the process and great communications from start to finish. If need arises again, would not think of using anyone else.
Great service and great results
Great service and great results. Eric was well informed and helpful throughout the entire process. The service was a little pricey but in the end well worth it . Very pleased with the results.
SecureDataRecovery restored Everthing!
SecureDataRecovery was able to restore ALL of my business & personal data from my WD MyBook External HD. From the very start Elliot Fisher explained the process and kept me updated of the status. In less than (2) weeks I had a fully restored BU of my data. Excellent Company - Excellent Customer Service!
Quick response, fair price and great communication
I knew better but I'm not very tech savvy. My files weren't property backed up so when my drive crashed, I found that I couldn't access ANY files. Knowing I had sensitive data in many of those files, I needed a company that was professional, but I knew that meant a cost that I probably couldn't afford. Fortunately, I talked to the rep. at Secure Data. He was great; professional, kind and understanding. He worked with me to make get a fair and affordable price, answered my questions quickly and they completed the work faster than expected. Virtually all my files were recovered. I highly recommend calling them and talking to them. They were extremely helpful.
Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service, very reliable. Totally recommend their service
