ADR does recoveries at all of it's locations including Seattle, but at the time of this post we were still in the process of setting up our Seattle lab. However if the drive needs extensive clean room work the drive will be shipped to our clean room. We also offer Remote Data Recovery just like Ontrack but I will say that the Data Recovery industry has not perfected the recovery of ReiserFS filing systems. Kuddos to Ontrack as they have created their own system for recovering data from ReiserFS filing systems. Some of the things that you have stated on this post are untrue and make it sound like ADR does not know what they are doing and that we are dishonest in our industry. The fact is that we hav accounts and perform recoveries for the larges companies in the world and are one of the only companies that can do this in most major cities in the US. ADR is demanding that you take this post down as it is un true and devastating to our buisness. We will be forced to take legal action if this is not taken care of ASAP. Kevin,

One detail I forgot to mention is this was a ReiserFS system. No one I know had ever recovered a ReiserFS drive, ReiserFSCK failed, and the apps available weren't promising.

No doubt they were different assessments. Regardless, your client probably paid to much if it was done remotely (Meaning there was nothing physically wrong with the drive). There are a number of commercially available programs (R-Studio, GetDataBack, Ontrack EasyRecovery, etc.) that recover logically damaged hard drives for a fraction of what recovery companies charge. My company has had luck with ESS Data Recovery, but if it is a logical problem (Format, Deletion, Virus) we recover the data ourselves. It saves us both time and money.

You're right, ADR does have dropoff locations. ReWave is one of the most honest companies I've dealt with and they don't screw around with you on the price. Try ReWave next time.

At my company we use CBL data recovery (http://www.cbltech.com) and have no problems. Haven't tried Ontrack. JT Wow, sorry to hear you had such an ordeal with ADR.
