Austin's dense startup and creator scene produces a steady stream of failed SSDs and drives full of work that was never backed up. We handle Austin recoveries by mail, cleanroom and all.
Instead of local drop-off shops that ship your device to a lab anyway, we cut out the middle step. Every Austin recovery is handled directly in our own ISO-certified cleanroom by certified engineers, so you get lab-grade work at one flat price. A free prepaid label reaches any address in and around Austin, TX, with fast inbound transit to our cleanroom — usually a day or two each way.
What we recover for Austin
Austin's software & startups and music & live events keep a lot of irreplaceable data on drives that eventually fail. Common cases we handle:
Hurricane and tropical-storm season brings both flooding and the power surges that follow. Power surges are especially hard on SSD controllers, while heat and vibration wear on spinning hard drives. Whatever the cause, the safest move is to stop using the device and let a cleanroom handle it — our recovery guides explain what helps and what quietly makes things worse.
