DataPro Data Recovery Lab

First class service by the DataPro recovery guys - 10/10. I sent them my old PCB and they moved the BIOS from the old board to a new one (a soldering job I couldn't do myself) and had the board in the post the same day. I just received the new board today and my hard drive is working again. Much appreciated guys! Thank you so much!

I cannot say enough good things about the service I received from DataPro. They did exactly what they said they would do and they were a lifesaver to me when I thought I had lost valuable data forever.I live in the USA and had two RAID hard drives go bad on me at the same time making 5 years of backup information inaccessible. Another company quoted me a price of $3,000 to get it fixed, which was too much for me to consider. I then discovered DataPro and read their helpful information on their website. After emailing DataPro with my hard drive PCB information, they told me they could swap the bios out and install it onto a new PCB.They could not guarantee me that it would work, if something other than the PCB was wrong with my hard drive. Given the importance of the data and the much lower cost with this approach, I decided to give it a try.I mailed DataPro my old PCB and as soon as they received it they did the work and mailed it back to me. I put it onto my old hard drive, installed the hard drive in my NAS and voila! I was able to copy the 1 TB of valuable information off of the drive onto a new hard drive. For about $50 plus shipping, this was an incredible value for me.Removing the PCB and sending it to DataPro was very easy requiring just a small Torx screwdriver that you can get at many stores.-TJ

Had a hard drive fail from a power short, wouldn't turn on or spin up at all. Sent in my board to Data Pro for a bios and board replacement. $50 and a week later my hard drive was brought back to life. No damage or bad sectors and my data was fully intact. Drive is still working just fine and of course I've now backed up the HD again to the cloud and physically. Service was awesome and an amazing success compared to paying hundreds of dollars for unnecessary data recovery options out there. Your mileage may vary but it worked for me and I'm so happy it did. Thanks Data Pro!

Had an older 1TB Seagate that was in a machine whose power supply started arcing, and melted the power connector of all attached devices. I sent in the damaged controller board to have it's firmware chip transferred to a donor board that they were able to supply. Donor board was returned to me, I re-attached donor board to original drive and perfect. Just in-case any damage was done to the drive itself, I choose to supply a new drive, clone the old, previously damaged but now working :-) drive to the new drive, and kept the old drive as a mirror to the new drive. All data was saved! I want to thank them for offering this service. Saved my butt.

100% recommend this company to anyone with hard drive issues. I had 3 HDDs that were power surged and I sent DataPro my PCBs for repair. Within a few days they repaired all of them and I was back up and running soon after. Customer service was so quick to respond to any questions and their rates were more than reasonable. 5 stars all day!!

Basically, I am giving two stars for the very bad communication that I had through email. I sent my hard drive from Europe, and that´s find, I understand that the risks, but from the moment that they received the hard drive ( somewhere between 20th Dec and 1st week Jan 2021), I had almost to beg to get updates, sending reminders to my emails, just to get them answered 6-10 days later. It was only when I decided that I wanted to recover my hard disk, that then, I got emails straight away after mines were sent. In the overall, they could not fix my unit, that I don´t blame for this and it had dropped and the sound wasn´t promising at all. Then, be aware, that perhaps if that wasn´t enough, customs for some reason, savaged my hard disk ( see picture), checking fro drugs or what? well, these are the risks when sending overseas. Maybe stick to a company within your continent.

At the start of 2023 my mother in laws back up USB hard drive had a PCB failure and she had all her priceless pictures on there. I am an IT profession; however, I did not have the equipment to replace the PCB and everywhere I looked was 750$ to 2,000$ and would not fix the PCB, only run recovery on the drive.I found Data Pro and they were able to sell me a new PCB with the correct model number, clone the chip, and transfer the BIOS to the new PCB, and it only took about a week round trip to get it back. I was able to recover all of my mother in laws files for around 70$ Canadian compared to all other companies saying 750$ was the cheapest. They also made this simple with email check ins, easy to fill out forms, videos to explain how to find the correct boards and so on.Overall this was an amazing experience and my mother in law is beyond happy to have her priceless pictures back. Excellent work!

fried one of my Hitachi 1tb HDD using the wrong modular PSU SATA cable. Datapro was able to swap the PCB and test that my drive was working. This HDD had critical work files and my lifes art work on there, Jason was able to turn around and have the drive back to me within under a week. Amazing service, saved me a ton of money and a huge headache - lesson for me to keep data backup from now on. Will recommend his service to my friends!

I had an old personal hard-drive where the control board had suffered physical damage. The data wasn't irreplaceable and I did have backups, but restoring the damaged drive was the best solution for me, IF it was financially feasible to regain that access. The team at DataPro offered an extremely economical solution by migrating over the firmware chip to a donor board. Their direction and process was easy and efficient. Their communication was top notch. They executed on it flawlessly and extremely quickly. And now, I'm very happy to say, I have access to all my information again.

I was lucky to find a company like this having the compatible board with my failed disk. The communication with the manager was very fluid and clear and the processing times were fast. I fully recovered my 1TB disk for less than $80!
