to businesses and individuals who need emergency data recovery service due to
damage caused by the storm.

Serving the New York tri-state area and beyond, 24

When hurricane Sandy ravaged the Northeast
coastlines Monday night, October 29, heavy rains, winds up to 85 mph and high
tides caused extreme flooding. Thousands of homes and businesses were flooded,
leading to the loss of lives and millions of dollars in property damage. Many
business owners who regained power and came back to work the next week faced
another emergency, the loss of data due to storm damage.

Superstorm Sandy caused loss of data due to flood damage, as well as from power
surges caused by blown transformers and power outages. To support Hurricane
Sandy relief efforts, 24 Hour Data is offering a 20% discount to businesses and
individuals who need data recovery service due to damage caused by the storm.

Tips
to Preserve a Flood Damaged Hard Drive
Water damage is harder to repair than other types
of damage to HDDs, but if action is taken quickly, it is possible to recover
data from a water damaged drive. For data lost during Sandy, follow these steps
to maximize the odds of a successful recovery.

1 – If a hard drive, RAID drive,
smartphone, External USB drive, SSD or other data storage media experiences
water damage, do not attempt to dry the storage device. Instead, keep it in its
current condition.

2 – Seal the hard drive or other device in
a plastic ziplock bag.

3 – Data degrades quickly on the platters
of water damaged hard drives. Rush your HDD, RAID drive or other storage device
to 24 Hour Data as soon as possible to improve your chances of a successful
hard drive recovery.

Individuals and businesses in need of
emergency data recovery following Sandy can drop off their drive at 90 Park
Avenue / New York City, NY 10016 or mail it directly to our certified
data recovery facility in Texas: 811 E. Plano Pkwy #124 / Plano, TX 75074.

In
the Wake of Sandy, Data Recovery Means a Lot
For families who have lost most of their belongings
or maybe even their homes, being able to recover family photo memories and
important data can be a step toward emotional and financial recovery following
a national disaster.

For New York businesses, the successful
recovery of data helps a company get back to normal operations faster, reducing
profit loss. Successful DR could mean the difference between bankruptcy or
returning to business following a disaster.

"We
are very grateful that our New York-based office suffered no damage during
Sandy. We regained power and, just a few days after the storm, were able to
open our doors to help residents and business owners with emergency data
recovery service," said 24 Hour Data president Sean Wade.

Wade wants to let New Yorkers know that 24
Hour Data is here to help, but data recovery with water-damaged drives is often
more difficult than other data recovery processes. "Our data recovery engineers are up to the challenge. Our job is just
like a firefighter or a doctor or others stepping up to aid in Sandy recovery
efforts. We have a higher calling, our 20% discount is something we
wanted to do to let New Yorkers know we care."
