Data Recovery
We recover lost data from failed, corrupted, or accidentally deleted storage devices including hard drives, SSDs, and USB drives. Our cleanroom facilities and proprietary tools ensure maximum recovery success rates while preserving data integrity. Clients receive a verified file list and firm quote before any charges apply.
RAID/NAS Recovery
Our specialists reconstruct failed RAID arrays (RAID 0/1/5/6/10) and NAS systems from Synology, QNAP, and Drobo. We recover data even with missing or damaged drives, ensuring business continuity without risking original hardware. This service includes firmware repair and array configuration reconstruction.
Ransomware Recovery
We decrypt ransomware-encrypted files without paying ransoms. Our technicians analyze infection vectors, recover unencrypted file versions, and provide security recommendations. This service covers physical servers, virtual machines, and personal devices with a 100% no-charge guarantee if unsuccessful.
SSD Recovery
We specialize in recovering data from SATA and NVMe SSDs with controller failures, firmware corruption, or physical damage. Using chip-level recovery techniques, we bypass encryption and retrieve data from dead or erased drives, including M.2 and U.2 form factors.
Virtual Machine Recovery
We restore corrupted virtual disks (VMware VMDK, Hyper-V VHD/X) and rebuild data from failed host systems or unrecoverable snapshots. This service includes virtual-to-physical migration and file extraction from unbootable virtual environments, ensuring minimal business disruption.

Report
Went in with 2 bad hard drives after was quoted multiple thousands to have them shipped out and repaired in WEEKS. PCS took care of recovering ALL data from both hard drives and putting all the information on a spare external drive for me for less than 1/4 of what the big names were asking for. Great service, great turnaround. Highly recommend.

Chris was a really nice guy to work with. Eventhough my recovery case was a little problematic but he was able to jump a step further and find the right solution for my needs that saves me a lot of money. I highly recommend working with pcs for your data recovery needs.

Report
When my hard drive stopped working, I didn't know what to do. Most of my data, including years of irreplacible photos, were on that drive. Most of the other places I contacted wanted to have my drive shipped to another state or country to be serviced and charge thousands of dollars. PCS did the work on site and only charged a small fraction of that, and they recovered my data. I can't recommend PCS Data Recovery enough!

I commend Chris for retrieving data from my camera's memory card. He was knowledgeable, quick, and priced fairly.
