HDD Recovery Services

I got three years of my work back successfully and had a great experience communicating with Erkin from HDD Recovery Services.
I broke the connector of my USB flash drive, which made it unreadable by any computer. The flash drive had years of academic and my personal work on it and local computer repair companies told me the flash drive was beyond repair and required a complex memory chip reading that would cost hundreds of dollars. I was discouraged, until I found HDD online.
They were very prompt at communicating with me, explained the recovery process they would attempt and quoted me a competitive price. Two weeks later — the longest wait was for the postal service to deliver my broken USB drive to Ottawa — I was notified that they successfully got all 20GB of my data back!
Thank you HDD! I would definitely recommend and return to them for USB recovery services in the future.

These guys recovered 1TB of data that we thought was lost forever from an old network hard drive that overheated and failed. Over 4500 photos and hundreds of movies from the past 9 years of family memories are now back in our collection. We cannot thank them enough for the speedy service and flawless accuracy of restoring our most cherished memories. The price was more than I originally expected, but after searching their competitors, we realized the value in doing business with a trusted company like HDD Recovery Services. Thanks much!

Came here for advice — the employee I spoke to was knowledgeable and helped me solve my dead hard drive problem. I’ve been to multiple other data recovery services and most of them said that the drive was dead and would need an overhaul. In a matter of minutes this place saved me weeks of further searching!

Very knowledgable and friendly, more importantly they are fair. While they were not able to recover my files, they tried very hard to do so, and charged me nothing for all their effort. Even though I didn’t have a success story, I would use their services again and highly recommend them.

I’ve been meaning to write a review about this place for a few weeks. In the summertime I had an SD card that ended up not only getting stepped on but stepped on in water. It had pictures from two great trips. My Macbook couldn’t read it and neither could any SD card accessory. I brought it to the usual suspects: best buy and future shop. They said they could send it away and really gave me no idea if I’d get anything back. I took to Google and found this place in Ottawa. Erik recovered every single file on it. I was jumping up and down when he told me on the phone. Photos saved, printed and ready to go under the tree for Christmas. So happy!!! Thank you!

Well, let me first start this review by saying I’m blown away by the work of Erik, the owner of HDD Recovery Services. I’d like to share my story with you and I’ll try to do it as tersely as I can.
My colleagues and I had a LaCie Quadra 8TB Raid set up for our business. Having never set up a Raid before, I decided to call LaCie directly. For the purposes of our business they suggested we use a Raid3 setup… Big mistake. After a large power surge the setup was FRIED. LaCie was useless: «We don’t know how to recover from a RAID3.» Software recovery utilities, etc. were also useless.
I got quotes from all over the place that ranged from 5k-​12k (!!) to get the data back. Most places weren’t confident they could do anything.
I had almost given up looking for Ottawa hard drive recovery places when I found HDD Recovery’s videos on YouTube… First impression was «this guy knows what he’s talking about» and thinking it was great they were based in Ottawa. They’re located right off the Queensway at Kirkwood in the basement of an office building. Nothing fancy but it really doesn’t matter because…
I brought our Raid to them. Erik worked hard, open and honestly. If you know a bit about I.T., he can walk you through a bit of the process so you understand the work that goes into it. If you’re not a Techie, well, what I can tell you is they did FANTASTIC work. Full recovery of our Data!
After a friend had a bad experience with another Data recovery business in Ottawa, I can’t recommend this place highly enough: The skill, the hard work and the openness of which Erik works is stellar.
My problem was complex but they also do regular hard drives, flash drives and memory card recovery. I have an 10yr old broken HD I’ll be bringing here sometime soon!
