- Misha Patapovich ★★★★★ 2 weeks ago I had an excellent experience with Capital Data Recovery Inc. when my hard drive failed and I thought I had lost everything. The team was professional, friendly, and very clear about the whole process, … More which made a stressful situation much easier.
They were honest about what could be recovered and kept me updated along the way. In the end, they managed to bring back all files, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The turnaround time was quicker than I expected, and their customer service was outstanding from start to finish.
If you ever run into data loss, this is definitely the place to go. They really know their stuff. Highly recommend. - Damien Roy ★★★★★ 3 weeks ago I was really afraid I had lost everything on my old hard drive! (Shame on me for not setting up my online backups properly...) My partner, Adeline Labrosse, contacted Levon and he was able to recover EVERYTHING! … More The price is not insignificant, but the precision of the work and the relief that comes with having all the data back is worth it. This is the kind of company you hope you won’t need again, but that gave us complete satisfaction with their services.
- James Tsai ★★★★★ 4 weeks ago I can’t thank Levon enough. He is not only highly professional but also genuinely caring. I brought him two old hard drives that belonged to a late friend, holding irreplaceable memories. Unfortunately, … More these drives had been previously “repaired” overseas, but the attempts not only failed—they also caused further damage. When Levon learned about this, he didn’t give up. Instead, he went above and beyond to track down the necessary parts and carefully repair them. Thanks to his dedication, those precious memories were saved. If you ever need reliable and truly committed hard drive repair, I highly recommend Levon.
