"Service I received was great"

"The data recovery service I received was great. They were very clear from the outset about what may and may not be possible and what the cost would be. From my device being collected by a courier, to a new device being sent back to me only a matter of days later, they were in touch every step of the step way to let me know what was happening. "

"I found the service easy use"

"I found the service easy use. The recovery of my data was carried out extremely efficiently. It wasn’t cheap but the cost included a new Hard Drive. The issue for me was the recovery of my photographs, some of which were really irreplaceable. Everything I needed was carried out and the data was returned to me on the new hdd in a manner that followed my own distribution."

The technical service and customer service was always top class, everything was delivered in the timescales promised. It was expensive but it recovered the irreplaceable and that, in its way, is priceless."

"Helped me retrieve the data"

"I had a damaged external hard disk that my local computer shops were unable to repair. Data Recovery Specialist help me retrieve the data quick. It's not a cheap service but it works and the data recovered was far more valuable than the repair cost. "

"Quick and professional service"

"I had dropped my external while it was spinning so did huge amounts of damage. I contacted several companies and opted for DRS. They were very quick with communication, explained everything for someone who’s not terrifically technically minded and put it all in writing as well. Collection of my device was simple, the turn around time was quicker than I expected and they kept me informed right through the process. Really pleasant and professional company. If I do break something, they would be my first port of call, but I’m hoping I won’t!"
