Barnabas Data Recovery

A few months back, the drives in my RAID array (consisting of 5 physical drives) somehow crashed and I thought I’d lost my data forever. After considering a few different data recovery firms, I went with Barnabas because they offered their services at the most reasonable price. I gave my damaged drives to Barnabas and within a few weeks, ALL of the data I requested had been recovered and sent back to me. Joe, the manager, was extremely helpful over the phone and kept me updated every step of the way. While I would use Barnabas in the future if necessary, I’d prefer to just be more careful with my backup situation going forward.

I would have given them 5 stars, but they didn’t give back what I dropped off. I had a damaged external Seagate hard drive and was given back just the hard drive without its enclosure. They said they will look for it and send it to me, but it’s been 3 months and they’ve pretty much forgotten about me.
Other than that, they are the cheapest solution in the area, and they did do their best trying to recover my hard drive. Joe was great in explaining the process and final outcome of their recovery efforts. Since thee platters were scratched there was nothing that could be done. They had my drive for 2 weeks, not sure if that’s typical, but I was in no hurry. I was able to stop by and pickup my drive, again, without the enclosure. So that basically rules out the option to buy an internal drive and make use of the enclosure.

Great work! I had four mini DVDs with data corruption issues that the team at Barnabas were able to recover and repair. All data is important but losing these family movies would have been crushing. Well done guys!

I took two of my hard drives to Barnabas and they did a great job getting my data and photos back in a timely manner. They were professional and do a great job at a reasonable price. I would use them again.

A couple of months ago, my trusty iMac of ~5 years booted up with the grey folder of death. I did initial diagnostics myself and suspected a hard drive problem. After taking it to a computer shop in Arlington, they told me my hard drive was cooked and suggested I contact Barnabas Data Recovery.
I had previously had the computer set to backup to an external drive, but for whatever reason the default save folder for the backup went from an external drive to the drive that had crashed. I was a little panicky, but I after speaking with Barnabas, my fears were put at ease.
Barnabas sensed the importance of me retrieving my data fast and bent over backwards to get it back. They charged a diagnostic fee to see if they could in fact get the data back. Provided they could get the data back, they’d charge my the full price for recovering my data. Other places that I’d contacted on my own offered to take a peek at the drive and attempt to recover the data for $ 1,500-$ 2,000. Barnabas was $ 199 to diagnose and $ 1,299 extra if they could get the data.
One minor annoyance was they charged extra to put a few files I needed fast on an FTP site. Additionally, they do mark up their hard drives, so if they can retrieve your data, you can save a a little by bringing your own hard drive.
If you ever lose critical data, Barnabas should be your first call. They do a fantastic job at a great price.
