DriveSavers Offers Data Recovery Relief to New England Victims of Winter Storm Juno
Recovery experts extend $500 off data recovery services to aid those affected by heavy snowfall, high-speed winds and coastal flooding
Novato, Calif. – Jan. 29, 2015 – DriveSavers, the worldwide leader in data recovery, eDiscovery and digital forensic services, today announced it would provide assistance to victims of the blizzard-like storm in New England. Parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, Rhode Island and New Hampshire have received more than 2 feet of snow from Winter Storm Juno, along with heavy wind and coastal flooding. Many individuals and businesses may be experiencing damage to electronic devices as a result of power loss and flooding.
DriveSavers is coordinating relief efforts with its broad network of computer service providers in and around the area. Those affected by the winter storm can call 800.440.1904 to receive $500 off our data recovery services for single hard drives and RAID systems through Feb. 28, 2015.
“DriveSavers would like to extend our services to assist when and how we can by helping those affected by Winter Storm Juno in recovering lost data from damaged computer storage devices,” said DriveSavers president Scott Moyer.
“Personal data is so important, and with 30 years of experience in securely retrieving photos, financial records, videos, tax documents, contact lists and other critical information stored on hard drives, we want to help as much as we can.”
In the event of any storm that could result in power outage, DriveSavers recommends unplugging all computers and data storage devices from electrical outlets while not in use. Surge protectors and battery backup systems should always be used for those systems that must remain powered on during a storm.
Computers and other electronic storage devices that experience water damage should not be powered on. Doing so may cause permanent data loss. If the device holds critical data that is not backed up, it should be sent directly to a professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers.
Those who require data recovery may call DriveSavers Data Recovery directly at 800.440.1904.
