Data System

This little shop is an independent computer goods and repairs shop. Some time ago my external hard drive broke, so I decided to pop down to Data Systems and see if they could fix it. Since nothing had been corrupted whilst I was using the hard drive I figured it must be fixable and I wanted to try and save the information on the disc.
I took it in and the guy took my details and said it would be a few days. Everything was fine so I left it with them, and sure enough a few days later I got a call to come and collect it. It was the case that had broken, seemingly, and so they had put the old hard disc into a new one. I paid about £25 and when I got home — tah dah! Working hard drive. Excellent. Until, a few months later. It broke again.
So, huffing and puffing, I took it back down to the shop. Now, bear in mind that the hard disc only had about 20gb of space, I already felt annoyed that I’d had to pay £25 or so to save it. At that point the data on the disc itself was the important thing. Since fixing it though, I had backed it up. I went in, and explained, that they had already fixed it once — what gives? As it was months ago, all they could do was fix it again. For £30. I could buy 500gb online for £70 I said. And he tried to sell me a different external hard drive for more money than I was willing to pay. And so I walked out, thanks but no thanks, and promptly purchased 500gb online for a much more reasonable price.
All in all, they are there if you are in desperate need, but I’m not sure that they are all that.
