The Data Rescue Center was founded in 2009 by Prosoft Engineering Inc, a firm with two generations of experience in data recovery under its belt. Prosoft Engineering began manufacturing much-needed hard drive recovery software back in 2000 to help recover memories, work information or any other type of files you may have lost. Since that time they have perfected this data-saving software and even opened a data rescue center in Northern California to aid in the more difficult hard drive recoveries. The primary goal of this company is to ensure that you get all of your lost information back without breaking the bank.
The Data Rescue Center has a new hard drive recovery facility that open January 2011 to aid in the ever-changing recovery process. This new facility uses leading-edge technology and tools to ensure that every scrap of data is recovered every time. Along with the new facility come advanced security measures to guarantee that your information is kept out of prying hands. The combination of new technologies and years of experience made it easy for us to give The Data Rescue Center our TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award.
Knowing that the data on your formatted hard drive, water-damaged camera or other media device can be recovered gives a sense of relief. Recovery effectiveness is one of the most important things to consider before making any final decisions on a hard drive recovery service. The Data Rescue Center has one of the highest success rates when it comes to recovering all of your data. Their new Class 100 clean room ensures that your hard drive will be protected during the recovery process. It is always good to remember that if your hard drive was in a fire or other disaster, there may be data that is impossible to locate and recover.
The Data Rescue Center offers multiple service plans to get your data back to you in a timely manner if needed or simply get the job done and back to you when it is all recovered. Their standard service plan has a turnaround time of around 5 business days depending on how much data is recovered and the type of damage. If you lost photos from your wedding or have damaged the memory stick for your camera, this will be the best option.

If you are located in near their office, they will actually come by and pick up your hard drive, but expedited shipping is also available. Turnaround time for this service is typically 48 hours, which is not quite as swift as some of the other hard drive recovery services we reviewed, but it is still very fast.

One thing we found very helpful were the step-by-step instructions on how to package and ship you hard drive or other devices. This may seem unneeded, but if your hard drive is damaged even more during the shipping process you may never get your data back. Prosoft Engineering also offers do-it-yourself recovery software in case you feel comfortable restoring the information on your own.
