- Sean M ★★★★★ in the last week Excellent service from the entire team at Capital Data Recovery. I quickly gave them a call and they were immediately kind, welcoming, and supportive of my situation where a 5TB (full) hard drive had failed. … More Within just over a week they were able to recover EVERY bit of data on the drive, while keeping me updated throughout the entire process. I don't know anyone else who could have done the job they did, with professionalism and kindness throughout. If your drive fails, these are 100% the people I would recommend you bring your device to. They took time out of their schedules to help me selecting storage solutions moving forward, which I really appreciated. They cared just as much about my data as I did. I feel lucky to have them here in Ottawa.
Thank you again, the work you do is incredible! - Karim D ★★★★★ a month ago Capital Data Recovery provided outstanding service. They are very professional, very kind, and of course, very skilled at what they do. I had damaged my hard-drive by accidentally giving it too much electric … More power. They were able to recover the data and transfer it to another drive within a matter of days. Plus they offer expedited service for an extra fee if you need your repairs done urgently.
I trusted them with my super important data and I am happy with this decision. I would highly recommend Capital Data Recovery. - Family Strickland ★★★★★ a month ago We brought a corrupted hard drive to Capital Data Recovery last week. This hard drive contained thousands of family photos that were very important to us. Levon gave us an estimate (which he honoured although … More the scope of work increased as he got into the drive) and very quickly was able to recover 100% of our photos. Very impressive, highly recommended. You get what you pay for...how much are your memories worth?
