Of course, there was practically nothing backed-up on cloud or anywhere else and this basically meant I had lost EVERYTHING!The search for a possible recovery began - and it was a bit of a nightmare, with several extremely suspect operators. I had succeeded in killing all three hard drives in my computer: the 2TB data drive, the 2TB bits and pieces drive and the 5TB back-up drive. And Dr Reid stuck to his promise on costs I only had to pay for the two drives he'd recovered.Overall a wonderful service from an excellent fellow and I can highly recommend him if you have also killed your hard drives (or SSDs) and need rescuing. So I provided two brand new hard drives and John restored my data to them.Fantastic. He also got the back-up drive sufficiently operational to recover everything that, which ultimately meant we could ignore the other drive. Unlike some outfits there was no up-front assessment fee or other hidden charges.The main data drive was very tricky, but he succeeded in finding a suitable donor drive and finding that everything on it was recoverable. He explained what had almost certainly happened (which included gently educating me in how SATA power cables from different PSU makers might look the same but connections sometimes aren't) and came back with a very realistic quote and high hopes of recovering much/all of my lost data on a no recovery, no fee basis. He took away my three drives and quickly confirmed electrical control problems with all three and mechanical damage as well in two of them. However, I narrowed my options down to three I could reach from Chester and John Reid came over by far the best.I went to see him by appointment and he was just as kind and considerate as he had been on the phone. practically nothing backed-up on cloud or anywhere else and this basically meant I had lost EVERYTHING!The search for a possible recovery began - and it was a bit of a nightmare, with several extremely suspect operators.
