We had an external hard drive that held our entire photo and video library and it was our ONLY copy. The drive started having issues and we brought it in for a diagnosis, only to find out that it had slowly been sustaining years of damage from overheat/overuse. Many files were inaccessible or unavailable to transfer to a different hard drive. Another computer repair place told us nothing could be done except to go through a data recovery company. At Universal computers, we talked with the manager, Dave, and he told us he would do what he could. He spend a lot of time working on it and was able to retrieve our library and transfer it onto a new drive. He did this for a much better price than the data recovery company would have charged. We are so happy to have our photos and videos! In addition, Dave went the extra mile by providing ongoing phone support when I have had questions since picking up our drive. I’ve needed help in knowing which type of drive to use as a second backup (learned our lesson on having more than one copy of something important), how to copy the library onto another device, and how to use the cloud as storage as well. He has been patient each time I’ve called and answered my questions both honestly and knowledgeable. I recommend Universal computers and wouldn’t hesitate to call them again. It was a positive experience overall, and I particularly recommend Dave for his customer service and knowledge. Thank you for helping us and saving our data!!
