The perfect Hard Drive Data Recovery

datarecover.jpgPeople tend to trust their computers for some reason, and when the disk drives fail they feel betrayed, who preaches the gospel of frequent backups as the best way to avoid having to spend $500 or more recovering lost data.

When looking for the best data recovery provider there are literally thousands of options. Doing a quick Google search of the term “hard drive recovery” yields over 500,000 results. With so many options, the toughest part of the process may involve the decision on where to send your drive. When you’ve lost your data, you only care about getting it back, right? In order to get your data back, you want the absolute best Data Recovery Resources for you at a price that fits within your budget.

So how do you go about finding “The perfect hard drive repair” provider? Most consumers looking for data recovery will consider the company’s success rate. This has become a rather good marketing ploy that can take advantage of an unsuspecting customer if they are not careful.

DTI Data offers free upfront flat rate price quotes on all hard drive data recovery also offer a data guarantee and all single hard drive recoveries are no data no charge. the only exception to that rule is if the drive has been opened somewhere else.

All software DTI sell on site was developed in house. DTI have a class 100 clean room. Not many data recovery companies in the US actually have a clean room so this is a big deal. Also a link to our blog in the post.

Many companies like to tout huge success rates of 90% or greater, some even goes as far as saying they can recover 98% of the jobs they receive. But can they really? How are they arriving at these numbers? Who audits them to verify their findings? Many times these are just numbers pulled out of thin air, and even if they are legitimate, there are so many exceptions to how they generated these numbers that it is at the very least, misleading the consumer.

The fact is, no data recovery company can boast of such high success rates unless:

  • They receive very few data recovery cases,

  • They do not count drives that are severely damaged with scored platters, fire or flood damage.

  • They are extremely lucky and get very few severely damaged drives. In reality, it is probably more accurate to say that the average data recovery firms are only able to recover a little more than half the drives they receive.

Probably in the neighborhood of 60%-75% on average. Not 90+%. There are many cases where a drive just cannot be recovered. Your data is basically held to the platter by a thin magnetic coating. If that coating is wiped from the drive when the platters are scored, it becomes “intellectual dust” floating around the inside of your hard drive case, and quite frankly, only God would have the ability to reassemble your information.

What are you afraid to lose?
what type of data they’d most regret losing

  • Personal photos

  • Documents, e-mails

  • Financial/business data

  • Music, movie files

  • Personal, business contacts

  • Home videos

  • Those who said they don’t store important content

So what should the consumer base their decision on? We have found that the best solution is to be upfront and honest with the customers from the very beginning, and let them know that there are times when data is unrecoverable, due to scored platters, severe data corruption, etc. That is just life, and there’s nothing that we can do about it here at DTI hard drive recovery, or any other data recovery firm for that matter.

There is no magic piece of equipment that can rebuild scored platters, or read from severely corroded or warped drives. The intricacies related to a hard drives functionality rule out any possibility of miracle equipment that will some how restore data from a platter that has been wiped clean due to a head crash. Instead of lying to you with success rates that more than likely can not be substantiated with any supportive data, we back up our work by letting you know up front we don’t get paid unless we recover your data.
