Actual External Hard Drive Recovery Customers
Kristen Pierce Photography
I helped Kristen from Kristen Pierce Photography from Lake George, New York get back 100% of her data.
Her Google review highlights my data recovery services on her external hard drive “I feel lucky to have found Eric’s Computer Services for data recovery on my external hard drive that I use with Lightroom on my Macbook. As a professional photographer, I was in despair over the possibility of losing so much work and I was really uncomfortable with the idea of sending my equipment through the mail to a recovery company. Eric’s Computer Service recovered 100% of my data in a timely fashion, all the while using clear communication to keep me informed of the process and timeline. Eric hand delivered my recovered data and is working with me to set up a better back-up system so that I never have to go through this ordeal again. I highly recommend Eric’s Computer Services.”
