Aero Data Recovery took over the case and recovered my data at a fraction of any other competitor's estimated price. I would recommended this incredible company to anyone whose hard drive has betrayed them. There is no reason to spend more than twice as much money somewhere else. Their great value is only outdone by their incredible service.</p> I was referred to Aero Data Recovery after another data recovery company was unable to salvage the data on my hard drive.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

I opted to waste the $25 dollars to get it back. So I am back to square 1.

There are three options left regarding your case:

  1. Ship the drive back to you ($25 flat fee for shipping and handling)
