Professional Data Recovery
95% Data Recovery Success Rate!
Don't play Russian roulette with your data! The first attempt at recovery is the most important. If you needed brain surgery would you search for the lowest priced surgeon or the best in the business? Lower quotes may mean lower quality service, compromised data, ineffective tools or technology, or even SCAMS.
Since every recovery case is different, prices can vary but in most cases,
we are able to recover your data in the $300.00 range.
All prices are net in US Dollars. Although we strive to keep prices effective, due to unexpected manufacturer price changes, pricing and quotes are subject to change without notice. Under normal conditions, quotations are valid for 30 days unless otherwise specified.
5 Star Data Recovery Yelp Review on 8/1/2011
"First of all, I would like to thank Yelp and all of the reviews that lead me to reach out to Alhambra Computer Services. About a year ago I accidentally wiped my external hard drive that held nearly ten years of data, pictures, and music files. I was devastated and held on to my drive looking for someone to help. I called ACS and spoke Ben. He was very polite and professional. I met Ben and gave him my drives. Ben set up a work order and gave me a quote. His prices are very affordable and he is extremely professional. He provided me with regular updates on the progress of the data recovery. He takes his work very seriously and it shows. Within a week, he recovered ALL of my files. Over 100,000 pictures that otherwise were not replaceable. I would highly recommend Ben and ACS for all your computer needs and will definitely contact him in the future for my own. I can't thank him enough for saving my files. THANK YOU BEN!!" - Jinger L. Riverside CA.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DATA LOSS: Immediately shut your computer down. Using it may overwrite data forever, making it impossible to recover. Any attempt to recover data must be made while the operating system is not running. Do not attempt to remove your hard drive and repair it yourself. Handling a hard drive incorrectly will further damage it. And do not put it in the freezer, condensation will destroy it.
A backup can be considered insurance for your data. Computer data can be easily lost: your hard drive can suddenly fail, a virus can wipe files from your computer or your computer/laptop may get stolen. Not to mention fire, flooding, etc... You're protected against such disasters only if you have a backup of your files. When an incident happens it's a simple matter of restoring that data and you are back in business.
Recovery Tips
Lost data? Your next steps are critical! To avoid permanent data loss, follow these important guidelines:
If your drive is making clicking, grinding or whirring sounds, shut down your computer immediately. These sounds could be the read/write heads hitting or scraping the platters. Severe or complete data loss could result.
Unplug the power to the computer before removing the hard drive and handle the drive carefully. Hard drives are extremely sensitive to static electricity and physical jarring or jolts. If your data is critical, make sure you choose a reputable recovery firm that can properly recover data from physically damaged drives. Even the simplest recovery attempts on a physically damaged drive could render your data unrecoverable. The first recovery attempt is always the best recovery attempt. At ACS, our engineers use the safest methods available to insure your data is not lost from repeated recovery attempts.
When disaster strikes:
If possible, back up the data immediately. Do not use utility software if the drive makes scraping, tapping, clicking or humming sounds. Do not power up a device that has obvious physical damage or is making unusual sounds. Shut down the computer to avoid further damage to the drive and its data. Do not attempt recovery yourself on severely traumatized drives (i.e., turning the computer off and on, using over-the-counter diagnostic tools). This may cause further damage or permanent data loss. If you’ve lost critical data, ACS recovery service is your best and safest option. Never assume data is unrecoverable.
