Certified Hard Drive Data Recovery Services in Chicago, IL

SAVED US!

Accidentally dropped the laptop with all of our tax returns on it. Since we are an accounting firm, we had over 900 tax returns on the hard drive. The hard drive was damaged and the data was not accessible. It was an emergency for us as it was the last week of tax season. SDR worked all weekend over Easter weekend and was able to retrieve 99% of all of our hard drive. We received it back on an external hard drive fully functional. Worth every penny we spent. Chris worked directly with us to get us the instant service we needed and the fast results. Would highly recommend Chris and SDR!

Highly recommend

Fantastic customer service, and prompt delivery. I was contacted soon after I made an inquiry on the Secure Data Recovery Services website. My CSR, Alec gave me a clear understanding of the process upfront, and progress along the way. The local staff, where I dropped off my HD were a pleasure to work with as well.

I had a small external HD, OSX, with clicking sounds and no ability to remount. Dropped off locally, and had my drive diagnosed in 1.5 business days, and its data recovered about a week later.

most files recovered

I had all my files from my computer and backup erased. I was able to work with Alec to bring down the price and recover most of my files from my backup. They we're able to recover all my files from my old computer but a years worth of files are still gone, which for an artists is a LOT of work! Alec did all that he could.

Honest and Reliable Company!

I had a crashed external hard drive that I thought would surely be unsalvageable. I called in late at night and they were extremely prompt with getting my problem diagnosed and explaining the process. Chris helped me along the way and he was very professional, helpful, and kind. Even when he was out of the office he continued to email me and keep me updated. They were able to recover 100% of my data from bad sectors and although it took much longer than I had hoped, everything was done correctly and it was a HUGE lifesaver. I can't recommend Secure Data Recovery (and Chris) enough!

Dead Flash Drive

My flash drive died. I was sunk. Secure Data Recovery was able to recover all the files on it, and mail me a new drive in just a few days. Compared to the cost of re-creating the data, the cost was nominal.

From the minute I called, Secure Data Recovery was very friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. They explained their no risk process and cost up front, and came through on every promise. They exceeded my expectations in every way. These guys know what their doing.

If you have a device beyond normal recovery, I would definitely recommend Secure Data Recovery.

Ask for Chris McMacken. He was super!

Great Work Saving Years of Files

Was tremendously worried when the Seagate drive I use to back up my laptop slipped and fell off a table, and thought that I was about to lose everything from the past four years. Upon researching places in the Chicago area, Chris McMacken from Secure Data called promptly after my initial inquiry, was very up front about the process and pricing, and checked in with progress and status updates throughout the process.

The entire endeavor was easy to go through, and at the end of the day easily 80 to 90 percent of my files were recovered, including nearly all of my saved work from college and graduate school that was most important to me. Thanks again, guys!

Life saver

Had a some portable hard drives which got fried. Had about 14 years worth of film work, videos, photos, etc. Turns out my PCB was fried and everyone else I went to said there was a 5% chance of recovery. Chris and the Secure Data Recovery team was able to retrieve about 90% of my drive. I had really bad sector damage and I was shocked that some of the files are still playable.
Although, at first I there was some confusion in what services I wanted done, I would highly recommend using SDR. Pricey, but worth saving 14 years of work. Thank you!

Great work.

I had approximately 64k files on my crashed external drive. I was very grateful to hear that they were able to recover all of my files. They were efficient and effective. I appreciate their promptness and theirs professionalism. Great job!

Successful and Speedy Data Recovery

Shortly after I completed the online inquiry, Alec called me to follow up and was responsive and informative every step of the way. My data was completely recovered and delivered as promised.

Speedy, secure recovery.....

From the first phone call with Secure Data Recovery (Alec) I was made to feel like my case was important. Alec apprised me of what was to be done every step of the way, and made me feel more confident in choosing this company. I am very happy with what has been recovered, since I thought it was hopeless! I will tell everyone I know about Secure Data Recovery and shy I think they should use them. Can't wait for the delivery of my data in a few days!! Thank you Alec for putting up with my phone call questions!

Thank You!!!

When my MAC crashed I was in a total panic. 11k photos on there, including a once in a life time trip to Paris! Silly me had not done a back up in 4 years!! Thank goodness for Alec Sakenes and the crew at Secure Data Recovery. From the very first phone call, Alec was helpful and kind. He totally understood I was not a "techy" kind of person and was able to speak to me on my level of expertise in relationship to computers. I would highly recommend Secure Data Recovery to any person who gets themselves in a jam, like I did. Although pricey, EVERY photo and file were recovered!!! Thank you Alec!
