ASAP Data Recovery

If you’re reading these reviews, you’re probably still dealing with that gut-​wrenching feeling that you’ve lost something really important and irreplaceable. For me it was all my photos, and files. Photos of my little nephew growing up, of loved ones who have gone, the entire digital record of my life was gone in a flash (or a power surge, they say).
I’ll fast forward through the part where several places told me that because the drive was burnt, chances of recovery were extremely low. I turned to forensic data recovery which I was told would range from $ 3k — $ 7k. Luckily, a google ad for ASAP popped up during one of my searches. The Google reviews were all positive, so I submitted a request for an estimate. Daniel called me first thing the next day, and quoted roughly $ 350 based on how I described the condition of the drive. I wanted to be excited and hopeful, but I was honestly just glad that a) he thought there was a pretty good chance they could recover the data, and b) I didn’t have to pay if they were unsuccessful. So I sent my drive in.
Even though I didn’t pay to rush the recovery, they got back to me with the price a day after they received it. The damage was worse than initially thought and more donor parts were needed, so the revised price was $ 725. Ten days later I got the email that recovery was successful, and when I started browsing through the files, I was so happy!
They were also very quick to send the data back to me, and here I am just smiling at all my old pictures. :)
I hope I never have to use them again, but I will recommend them highly! I’m so pleased!

I cannot say enough nice things about ASAP Data Recovery. I had a memory card fail on me immediately after a session, but these guys came to the rescue! They were honest & helpful about turnaround times to expect & patient with a panicking photographer. I hope to not have to, but if needed I would definitely go back. Thank you ASAP Data Recovery!

ASAP Data Recovery saved my entire hard drive on a super tight time table. Great service all around. Couldn’t be happier.

Short Story…
Dropped my camera at a 30^th anniversary party. My camera kept reading ERROR CARD UNREADABLE. My Compact Card was damaged.
I researched many different data recovery locations until I came across ASAP DATA RECOVERY.
Daniel was amazing with customer services & informing me of the technical process. Recovery took 2 to 4 days (Thanksgiving).
If you’re a photographer & have issues with your COMPACT CARD. It’s a must!!!
CHEERS…

When our law firm’s Seagate 4-​bay NAS device went bad I shopped around a number of data recovery specialists. Not only was ASAP Data Recovery’s quote thousands of dollars cheaper than any of the other businesses I checked at, their turn around time for repairs was much quicker than anyone else.
At first I was skeptical because of the significant price difference, but once I met with Frank and Daniel I was confident that this was the business to go with. Frank and Daniel are very professional and responsive to any questions and offer honest and helpful advice even for someone who does not understand computers.
They were able to recover all of the data I thought was lost forever. I would highly recommend ASAP Data Recovery for any data recovery issues.

ASAP Data Recovery was a great find to recover information from a jump drive that broke off at the base in my bag. Daniel and Frank were immediately helpful on the phone when I contacted them, and then they were prompt and accurate with a prognosis and an excellent fix, with all being recovered from the drive. They were delightfully conversational and not all tech Talk, which is a bit daunting for me, although I know the basics. What I didn’t know how to do, they handled with ease and speed and solid wonderful knowledge I envy them for! They made this unpleasant situation fun (go figure) and affordable and everything happened exactly as they said it would. I hope I don’t have to return, but if I do, I’m in great hands with people who have great knowledge.

Well if you have the misfortune of loosing your data then ASAP is the place to go! Both Daniel and Frank were wonderful, patient and helped me understand a few computer issues I really needed to know. I’m not much for long reviews especially when everything worked out perfectly with no delays and badda bing badda boom, done! Thanks Guys: D

Brought them a Seagate 250 GB drive that had numerous failed sectors as well as a defective read/​write head. They were able to rescue the data from the disc in a short period of time. Great job guys! :-)

This place is great. They recovered all of scripts and music from my broken flash drive! Daniel was in contact with me every day during the process, letting me know as they recovered all the files. They even held on to everything for 3 months when I suddenly had to leave town for work and when I returned it took only half an hour to get everything back on a new drive. Highly recommend them.

Sometimes you need a superior nerd. These are those guys. I accidentally formatted a CF card with a day’s worth of shooting (Canon C300) on it and Daniel and Frank recovered it. They were quick, communicative and nice people. They also kept a backup of the footage at their facility when (a few weeks later) post had trouble ingesting the footage into Avid and still managed to make it work.
Word to the wise: DO NOT trust all the DIY data recovery software solutions you find through web search. They’re a waste of money… and anything you do yourself without the proper tools can potentially make your data totally unrecoverable. If you have valuable data that must be saved, trust a professional, get it done right from the start.

These guys are amazing! I had a terrible glitch that caused all four of my hard drive back ups to reformat. I called around to every data recovery place in town and got quotes between $ 2,000-$ 7,500 with no guarantee that any of my data would be recovered. I ended up going to ASAP Data Recovery because they had great Unilocal reviews and they quoted me under $ 2,000 for all four drives. They also were the only data recovery place that told me they would not charge anything if they were unable to recover any data, or if I wasn’t 100% satisfied.
Frank and Daniel were super helpful and patient. I was really nervous and upset about losing all of my files (I am a freelance photographer and my livelihood was on those drives), but they calmly answered all of my questions and kept me updated constantly while they worked on my drives. In the end they were able to recover almost all of my files and it ended up costing thousands less than it would have at the other places.
I highly recommend ASAP Data Recovery.

Wonderful Company! They were able to save and recover all my data. They’re awesome to work with, honest, straight forward, and even worked a little with my budget. Many many thanks to Daniel! I’d recommend them to anyone. This is the place to be, folks. Do yourself a favor.

I love ASAP Data Recovery! Conveniently located in Studio City, ultra fast customer service, this is the best data recovery center I’ve been to. The staff is always friendly, Daniel is extremely helpful, and I’ve never walked away disappointed. Corrupt DSLR clips, wiped GoPro cards, LaCie rugged drives that weren’t as durable as we thought — they fix it all. As a TV Post Production professional, ASAP Data Recovery has saved my a** on many occasions. Highly recommended!!!

ASAP/​Daniel saved all my photos/​data from the last 15 years. I deleted everything on my RAID/​4 hard drives with a click. ASAP recovered everything quite inexpensively.
I am so happy I found them Ron Perelman

Excellent service, nice staff. Fast diagnostic and recovery. Would highly recommend, even more so for complex hard drive failures.

I have to say that these people are doing the job SUPER FAST and most important you can communicate throughout the whole process of the Data Recovery. Believe me, I know how anybody would feel if they would lose their data. It’s like «the end of the world» for some people. Thank God, they helped me ASAP and they recovered everything. I study literature in the University and I had extremely important footage inside the external H.D. I had backup but for an unknown reason I was so unlucky to damage both my h.d. So I went to them. Friendly service, Confidential, Professional. Their price is the most competitive in the market for what they offer.
Daniel is super friendly and knowledgable and I am glad I went to them. I wouldn’t look anywhere else to fully recover my data.
M.K

It’s me again.
This is my second time using ASAP DATA RECOVERY and again I’m very satisfied.
My sons 1^st birthday was coming up and without any warning my phone micro SD card was ‘not working properly’.
Without hesitation I contact ASAP DATA RECOVERY and the team worked with me in order to recover my pictures of my son on time. I was able to print his baby pictures and everyone was delighted.
Thank you again, everyone at ASAP DATA RECOVERY.

I’m a TV Producer for a national cable network. After coming back from a shoot in the Philippines on the other side of the world and realizing my cameraman deleted and overwrote an entire SD card of 3 days worth of footage, I was devastated beyond words.
My TV network mailed the SD card to a recovery place they found through an internet search and the company was only able to recover tiny thumbnail jpegs of my missing clips. (It also took me 3 emails just to get an update from them within a couple weeks) In a state of panic, I searched online and found ASAP Data Recovery and read their wonderful reviews on here. I told my boss I was going to try one other data recovery and he literally said to me «You have to let this one go.» I still had some hope left so I emailed Daniel and mailed the card in.
Sure enough, a couple days later after receiving my SD card, Daniel emailed me and the first thing I read in the email was «Great news…» I started crying. They were able to recover approximately 20 gigs of my video footage! And the clips recovered were still in 4K!!! Unbelievable!!!
I am forever thankful to Daniel and ASAP Recovery!!!

These guys were amazing. Daniel really went above and beyond for us.
I had been to two other places, they said there was no way the data would be recovered. These guys did it. Fast and keep me informed durning the entire process.
I would never go anywhere else!!! Why waste your time! THESE GUYS GET THE JOB DONE.
THANKS FOR SAVING OUR BUTT :)

Complete recovery of all data and all folder structure from my failed 1TB GTech ev drive. Very excellent and thorough work. Thanks!
