Computer Data Recoveries in Guelph, Canada

Guelph is only about an hour away. There you’ll find RecoveryForce, who is one of the most reputable places out there.

This one is from Ottawa, but it is very good. www.hddrecovery.ca You can check them out in YouTube too "Hdd recovery services"

You can send it to my lab too DataRescueLabs.com but luke at /u/Recoveryforce will have better pricing than me

Another option: https://sabocomputerrepairs.com/data-recovery/ Larry Sabo is a regular member of various data recovery forums,

I can't think of anyone that's reputable I've heard of in NY. Most over there are just mailing stations for the companies out west in places like California. We could certainly take a look at it for you here in Providence (https://www.data-medics.com). A few other labs that post here often and are reputable: [Recovery Force](https://www.recoveryforce.com) - in Canada (good exchange rate right now). [ESS Data Recovery](http://www.datarecovery.com) - a few locations around the USA

Louis does some drives. Rossmannrepairgroup in the East Village.

Might have to ship? [Recovery Force](https://www.recoveryforce.com/) and [Data-Medics](https://www.data-medics.com/) have tips that are in the sidebar and regularly provide useful advice in this sub, as does [ESS](http://www.datarecovery.com/). (I'm not affiliated nor recommending, just an observation.) Most repair shops don't have a clean room or skills for mechanical failures that require taking drives apart, and thus send HDDs to their preferred service.

Do you know the make and model of the drive? Not aware of any actual labs in Washington. At this point, most data recovery companies listed in major cities are virtual offices that turn around and ship your drive to a central location. [We](https://www.datarecovery.com) have labs in CA, AZ, IL, and Toronto, if you'd like to check us out. Free shipping in and out with a free evaluation. Cost varies depending on the issue with the drive, but for a dropped drive with failed heads, expect $600+ at most places... with the plus depending on the level of damage. Other labs that respond here often, that I know of, are /u/DataMedics (RI) and /u/RecoveryForce (Canada). Both are knowledgeable and would also treat you fairly, I believe. There are a lot of recovery companies out there, many are just fine, others you may want to stay away from. You'll want to call several and ask questions about their capabilities, if there is an actual lab where you will be sending your drive to, what their policies are regarding costs to you if the drive is not recoverable or you decline (eg: evaluation charges, attempt fees, parts charges, etc.), costs for shipping, costs for return media, etc. Good luck!

Have used these guys for client with single drive physical damage, worked out better than expected (didn't think they'd get anything back). https://www.cbldatarecovery.ca/

You can try this company. https://www.werecoverdata.com/services/raid-data-recovery There might be a good chance they can recover even remotely.

Kroll ontrack. Expensive but worth it What your budget?

https://www.recoveryforce.com/ These guys are in Guelph will only charge if they recover files. I have used them many times. They only like dealing with MSPs so they might offer discounts to an MSP. Doug and Luke are great! (They own the company)

I've used Fixsys.ca before. Erin Mills / QEW area

It's not in Hamilton but I've used a company called Fixsys in mississauga before. Gord is the owner. You'll want to Google the name Fixsys. He is located around erin mills pkwy and qew. He provides free estimates. I've found him to be very knowledgeable/passionate. Full disclosure I work in IT and he has been able to get data back for some of my clients each and every time. His prices range from $100+ depending on complexity.

For the laptop, I assume they don't power on? You could probably remove the hard drives pretty easily and buy a cable from Canada Computers to connect it to USB on your computer to back up the hard drives. I am curious if they are able to recover the SD cards for you. I hear sometimes they will try to buy an equivalent card to be able to just take the data portion and put it into another card. Common with USB sticks. I think I found these two recommendations earlier in the year off the Reddit data/backup forums when looking to help out my brother in law. Guelph - https://www.recoveryforce.com/ Another option - Datarecovery.com has a location in Toronto too.

Go to Dr. Dan off of Upper Paradise. Very transparent and they do excellent work. Data recovery is not cheap you will be easily 150-500 range
