DriveSavers Offers Free Data Recovery of Wet Computer HDDs

DriveSavers, Inc. will provide free data recovery services to Russian River, CA residents who have lost critical data as a result of the devastating flooding that occurred in February and March of 2019.

The company is donating time, resources and years of expertise to provide up to $1,000,000 worth of data recoveries from water-damaged HDDs. Eligible devices include external HDDs, desktop computers and laptops.

“DriveSavers is known worldwide for recovering data from severely traumatized devices including those that have been dropped, burnt, crushed, and submerged in water,” said Scott Moyer, president, DriveSavers. “We offer our expertise to those who’ve lost irreplaceable data like photos and videos of loved ones, business files and financial records.“

Because exposure to water and air cause corrosion on circuitry, customers can contact DriveSavers and ship devices no later than April 30, 2019. Limited to one device per business or household. Customers needing additional recoveries, and those with multi-drive devices such as RAID, NAS and SAN devices, are eligible for a 50% discount off regular service fees.

DriveSavers will accept as many water-damaged devices that it can up to $1,000,000 in services. However, it may further limit the number of free recoveries based on workload and availability of personnel.
