DriveSavers Offers Data Recovery Relief

DriveSavers, Inc., in data recovery and eDiscovery services, announced the offering of assistance to victims of the recent deadly thunderstorms and tornadoes in the Eastern US by providing $500 off data recovery services.

The violent storms resulted in at least five deaths and hundreds of thousands of people are still without electricity. Due to power loss, many could experience extensive damage to personal and business belongings, including computer storage devices.

Running through August 31, 2014, DriveSavers is coordinating efforts with its extensive network of computer service providers in the affected region, and offering $500 off data recovery services for single HDDs and RAID systems damaged by impact, water or power surges from the storms. DriveSavers has over 28 years of experience in retrieving lost data from damaged devices. Irreplaceable photos, financial records, videos, tax documents, contact lists and other critical information commonly stored on HDDs may be recoverable.

“As victims begin to comb through damaged property, it’s likely they will find devices that appear ruined; however, it’s highly possible the data ca still be recovered,” said DriveSavers president Scott Moyer. “DriveSavers has been successful at securely retrieving data from devices damaged in natural disasters such as Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina, and the Japanese tsunami.“

In the meantime, DriveSavers recommends victims should unplug all electronic devices from outlets, surge protectors, and battery backup systems. Also be sure to shut down any computer with a HDD that won’t spin or is making any unusual noises such as clicking or scraping.
