Company Branches Out To Make Data Recovery More Affordable To Home Users

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Data recovery can be expensive. For companies and professional organizations the value of the data in most cases, greatly exceeds the cost of recovering it. For home users, while the data may be priceless, the cost associated with the recovery is often times prohibitive.

One company has developed a way to cater their business strictly to the needs of home users in order to help them get their data back at an affordable price, and still receive the high quality professional lab work that big corporations can afford. In these tough economic times, consumers are watching their pennies more than ever. When data loss occurs for home users, it usually results in the loss of years and years worth of family photos and videos. "So much of our personal data is now stored digitally, that any hiccup in our computer can render the data gone in an instant", stated lead recovery engineer Alex Jessup of Superior Data Recovery. "In the past we had see many drives come through our lab where the customer simply could not afford the work. In most cases we would work out either a payment plan, or a better price to help them get their valuable information back. As the problem became more and more prevalent we realized that we had to do something to help home users specifically, and that is where the idea for Superior came into place. It's the same great service, just a different name and a different style of providing that service".

Superior Data Recovery is a branch of ACS Forensics, Inc. ACS Forensics, Inc. has operated under the banner of ACS Data Recovery, a leading provider of data recovery services since 2003. "It's important for our customers to know that we aren't just some new company out there trying to make a quick buck", Jessup added. "We provide the exact same service, using the exact same technology as what we do for our corporate clients."

The difference in service levels between Superior and their big brother ACS, is the time and resources spent on the recovery effort. Jessup explained, "ACS works on a whole different level than we do. They will sometimes go through 5 or 6 parts drives on a single recovery. Also, most recoveries through that branch only take about 3 or 4 days to be completed, but in rare cases, they will dedicate months to a single recovery if needed. Recovery work that is completed through Superior, may take 2 to 3 weeks on average, and we usually limit the amount of parts and time spent on each recovery. The payoff, is when your data is recovered, it's usually at a savings of hundreds of dollars."

It's easy to fall into the trap of searching for a cheap data recovery provider. Unfortunately there are companies that are more than willing to take advantage of a thrifty consumer. When shopping for data recovery services, it's important to keep in mind a few simple questions.

*Does the company charge anything for evaluations?

*Does the company charge anything for parts that may be needed to complete a recovery?

*Does the company charge anything if your data is unrecoverable?

Jessup went on to explain, "A common problem some of our customers face, is that they are looking for the best possible deal they can find to get their data recovered. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but many companies out there may lure you in with the bait of low prices, but when all is said and done, you may be out a hundred dollars or more, and still not have your data. Not to mention the fact that many of these companies are not well experienced or competent enough to work on hard drives, and we have seen quite a few drives come in that are just a complete mess and nearly unrecoverable. We have tried to make our prices as affordable as possible without sacrificing the quality of the service provided. Since we only get paid if we actually recover data, we have to be pretty good at what we do"
