Danbury is a western Connecticut city in Fairfield County, once known as the Hat City for its hat-making history and now home to Western Connecticut State University, a regional hospital, and many commuters to jobs in Stamford and New York. Heavily wooded hills, nor'easters, and ice storms make power outages a fact of life here. When a drive fails, we recover it by mail.
Western Connecticut's tree-lined roads and wooded neighborhoods make storm outages common. Nor'easters, ice storms, heavy wet snow, and tropical storm remnants bring down limbs and power lines, and outages can last for days. Repeated flickers and sudden shutoffs are hard on desktops, home servers, and NAS units that are writing data. Use a UPS for important equipment, shut down cleanly before a big storm, and keep at least one backup off site or in the cloud.
Many homes in the area are older, with damp basements and aging wiring. Storing backup drives on basement floors puts them at risk from water during spring thaw and heavy rain, while running devices from generators or overloaded power strips during outages can cause surges. Keep electronics in dry, heated rooms, use surge protection, and let cold laptops warm up before powering them on in winter.

Data recovery in Danbury — common questions
My computer won't start after we ran it on a generator during an outage. Can the data be recovered?+
Usually, yes. Generators can deliver unstable power that damages power supplies and drive electronics, but the stored data is often intact. Do not keep trying to power it on, and do not swap circuit boards between drives. Confirm your case online and ship it with the free prepaid label.
