From Lisa C.

Fujitsu MHT2060AT laptop disk

Motor broke... Recovery attempts: Hooked drive up to another computer to try to get it to spin, but no luck.

 

After recovery:

Dear Data-R-Us.com team,
Thank you so much for recovering my data! :) Thanks again and please think about sending some of your business cards to me when my drive is eventually shipped. I'd be more than happy to give them to the Apple Store to hand out to customers when their drives break/fail. The companies they recommended to me all quoted me $2000 to retrieve my data, so your company would be very much utilized I think if more people knew about you. :)

Thank you for saving our data!


From Gary D.

Toshiba MK2018GAP laptop disk

Drive failed to boot, started making grinding sound.

 

After recovery:

Hello,
I'm very pleased with the outcome of your recovery services. The Hitachi HDD-clone 'did' work and a 40 gig instead of the original 20 gig, thanks. All is well which ended well and I'll recommend your company to others that might end up in such a situation.
Prosperity to you all,
Gary
