Recovery experts extend $500 off services to aid affected states 

Novato, Calif. – May 7, 2014 – DriveSavers, the worldwide leader in data recovery and eDiscovery services, announced today the offering of assistance to victims of tornadoes and flooding in the Eastern U.S. by providing $500 off data recovery services. After two days of powerful storms, more than 73 million Americans have experienced extensive damage to personal and business belongings, including computer storage devices.

DriveSavers has nearly 30 years experience in retrieving lost data from damaged devices. Irreplaceable photos, financial records, videos, tax documents, contact lists and other critical information commonly stored on hard drives may be recoverable.

“Even in the event that the data on your device is inaccessible, it’s still possible it can be recovered,” said Chief Technology Officer Chris Bross at DriveSavers. “Using our cutting-edge technology, DriveSavers has successfully recovered data from electronic devices affected by some of the worst natural disasters, including Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy and the 2011 Japan tsunami. We’re confident we can help victims begin to rebuild their lives by reclaiming precious memories and important documents.”

Beginning today and running through June 30, 2014, DriveSavers is offering $500 off data recovery services for single hard drives and RAID systems damaged by water, impact or power surges from the April tornados and floods. Additionally, DriveSavers is calling on its extensive network of computer service providers throughout the affected region to help coordinate efforts.
