- egd166 ★★★★★ a month ago My 4TB hard drive was shown to be OK but the contents were shown as "unknown" and as this drive had important information on it I needed to have it recovered. This is the first time I went to … More Capital Data Recovery and was greeted by Levon and he listened attentively as I explained what had happened. He then said he thought it might be recoverable. A few days later I received a quote on which he said there was a good chance of full recovery.
A few days later I got my drive back with a full recovery!
Throughout this whole experience Levon was kind, considerate and helpful. I would certainly use their services again but I hope I don't need to. - Lauren Foster-MacLeod ★★★★★ a month ago We were very pleased -- and relieved! -- that Capital Data Recovery was able to recover almost all the data on our damaged hard drive. There were files going back at least 3 years and it's a relief … More to have them again. Thanks so much! I would recommend Levon and his team!
- Robert Tombs ★★★★★ 2 weeks ago Capital Data Recovery are miracle workers. They saved 30 years and 1.8 terabytes of data from a crashed hard drive after six hours of on-line help from Apple couldn't. Special thanks to Levon who … More was both very courteous and extremely helpful. Thank you.
