If your hard drive (or other data storage device) seems to be physically fine, but you have experienced data loss from:
- accidental deletion
- an unresponsive or unrecognized drive
- a hard drive crash, corruption, or virus
- partition or format issues

I can help!

I can recover data from a wide variety of storage devices, including internal or external hard disk drives (IDE or SATA, PC or MAC), SD or other memory cards, cell phones, and floppy disks.

If your symptoms involve a hard drive that is clicking, beeping, or grinding, or a memory card that is completely unresponsive, I will likely decline your case, as that indicates a physical problem.  I do not perform mechanical work or do internal repairs, but most data loss situations aren't this drastic, so chances are I can help.  Feel free to contact me before you commit. I will help you figure out what you need and decide if I'm the right guy for the job.  Let me know your situation, and I'll point you in the right direction.

The buy-it-now for $10 is the evaluation fee. After your payment, I'll provide a shipping address.  After evaluation, I will contact you with details regarding the state of your data and what can be done to recover it.  If, after evaluation, we (you and I together) decide not to continue, your drive will be returned to you for no additional charge.

$60 is the usual recovery fee for hard drives.
$20 is the usual recovery fee for memory cards and floppy disks.

The evaluation fee and recovery fees are separate charges, but all my prices are negotiable--I have a soft spot for students and single moms--and I'm open to barter--but my prices are more than fair.  If you have an unusually large or time-consuming recovery, it will cost a bit more, but probably 80% of recoveries are at the usual rate, and recoveries over $100 are uncommon.  In any case, you'll know before you commit to anything.

Any additional costs for needed storage media will be negotiated prior to recovery.  I have plenty of used drives available, you can pick your favorite new one, or you can send one along.  After we reach agreement and you have paid, I'll get to work. If you desire--and are willing to pay for--additional services, for example, recovering data from a laptop and then reinstalling the operating system, all necessary drivers, and your user data, I can do that--we'll talk. 

I run a one-man operation here, and I do it because I enjoy the challenge, and I'm good at it--it's not my day job (I'm a computer scientist and Certified Ethical Hacker performing cyber security for a large organization). Because it's just me, there is no team of techs to blame for a breach in confidentiality--only me--and I am not prudish, judgmental, or foolish. I guarantee all your data will remain completely confidential. Your data is safe with me.

If you're still on the fence, check out my seller feedback.

Step one is to send me a message detailing your situation. That will cost you nothing.
