The operating system was re-installed on my computer. Can you still recover my data?
If the operating system was re-installed without securely wiping the hard drive, we may still be able to recover your files. Come in for a free consultation and we’ll assess your situation.
Do you delete my files after you recover them?
After a data recovery service was successfully completed, we securely delete your data from your old device. We keep our own copy of your data for two weeks just in case you run into any trouble, then securely delete it.
I need a new hard drive. Are solid-state drives (SSDs) better than conventional hard drives?
Yes and no. Both solid-state drives and conventional hard drives have advantages and disadvantages. SSDs are faster and less likely to fail from shock than conventional hard drives. However, SSDs have a limited number of data writes. After that, they are considered end-of-life and fail without warning in most cases. Traditional hard drives, on the other hand, slow down or experience read/write issues first, giving you an opportunity to take action before your data is lost. This is part of the reason that significantly more of the conventional hard drives that we see are recoverable than the SSDs. So, what’s our advice? If you want to use an SSD, back up your data using a conventional external hard drive.
