Data Recovery/Transfer
Did your computer or Laptop die and you need to recover the data off your old hard drive? We can take the hard drives out of your old/dead computer before recycling and attempt to recover the data from the hard drive using a variety of methods. We will provide a 32gb USB thumb drive to move the data to for $10 each. If your data requires more than one USB drive we will have to use another USB drive. You can provide your own USB drive or external hard drive to copy the data to. Sometimes your hard drive is damaged beyond the ability to recover any data, or it is encrypted by some means. If you do not have the encryption keys there is no way to access the data. If your Hard drive is damaged, your only option at that point would be to send off the Hard Drive to a data recovery service. NOTE: These data recovery services can cost $100’s or more to attempt to recover your data.
The cost for this service is $80 per hour, which usually takes at least 1 hour to recover the data, sometimes more. This service includes the labor to remove your hard drive from your computer/laptop and attempt to diagnose any issues.
Data Destruction
Does your Hard Drive have sensitive/personal data on it that you don’t want to fall into the wrong hands? We can help. We can take the hard drives out of your computer before recycling and completely wipe the data from the hard drive using a standard DoD (Department of Defense) data wipe of the hard drive. This ensures that the data on the drive is no longer accessible, even when using advanced hard drive forensics. If your hard drive is inaccessible or can’t be wiped using our software techniques, we will physically destroy the hard drive by taking it apart and smashing the hard drive platters. The cost for this service is $25 per hard drive and includes a certificate of completion for each hard drive. We will discount this cost using the above discount schedule for multiple items.
If you need to have that data transferred to a USB drive we can do that too. We will provide a 32gb USB thumb drive to move the data to for $10 each. If your data requires more than one USB drive we will have to use another USB drive. We will attempt to recover all data types that you specify and save it to a DVD which you can then use to restore to another PC.** Our normal rate of $80/hr applies to this service. This service would normally take from 30 to 60 minutes to complete. We will discount this cost using the above discount schedule for multiple items.
** Transferring of data means the files that are created when using a program such as Word, Excel, Outlook, Email programs, Quickbooks, Pictures, etc.
