We see the same issue over and over again. Clients bring in hard drives to 24 Hour Data that they have tried a DYI Data Recovery on. More times than not they will pay twice as much in the end from their effort to save money.

When clients debate if they should bring their drive into us for Data Recovery we always ask how important is the data on the drive? We also ask the client to consider all files even ones easily overlooked like email, bookmarks, photos, documents, accounting files, and so on. After posing this question a client usually has an answer quickly. Then we mention that 24 Hour Data always gives a Free Quote for Data Recovery.

The problem is the people and companies who do not call. We are not just talking about individuals here either. We see IT Professionals everyday that try to take Data Recovery into their own hands too. I am all for trying to save money.  However, risking your critical data to chance is like changing your oil while driving 55mph on the freeway.

The moral to the story here today is think twice about what data is on your hard drive before taking the next step. Any quality Data Recovery Company will give you a Free Quote for Data Recovery. Why risk it?
