Common causes of data loss around Raleigh

Hurricanes that make landfall on the Carolina coast can still reach Raleigh with damaging winds, falling trees, and long outages. Hurricane Fran in 1996 is still remembered locally for the destruction and outages it brought to the city. Summer thunderstorms bring frequent lightning, and heavy rain floods low-lying areas near creeks. Put desktops, NAS units, and lab equipment computers on a UPS with surge protection, keep backups off the floor, and make sure at least one copy of important work lives outside your home or office.

Winter ice storms are another major threat. The December 2002 ice storm brought down trees and power lines across the Triangle and left a large share of the region without power, some for more than a week. Humid summers also mean condensation and corrosion risk for equipment stored in garages, crawl spaces, or attics. Keep drives in climate-controlled rooms and shut computers down cleanly during outages instead of letting them crash.

Data recovery in Raleigh — common questions

Our lab's instrument computer drive failed and it holds months of data. Can it be prioritized?+

Yes. Emergency service of 24 to 48 hours and expedited service of 2 to 4 business days are available on request. Confirm your case online, ship with the free prepaid label, and tell us about your deadline. Single drives are a flat $1,200, paid only if we recover your data, and multi-drive systems get a free evaluation and custom quote.

Should I unplug my computer when a hurricane or ice storm is coming?+

It is a good idea. Unplugging from the wall protects against surges when power is restored, and shutting down cleanly avoids corruption from an abrupt outage. Make a fresh backup before the storm arrives, and store the backup somewhere other than the same room.

Do I have to visit a location in Raleigh?+

No. ClearQuote is a mail-in service — there's no drop-off required. We email you a free prepaid shipping label, you send the device from anywhere in Raleigh, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.

How much does data recovery cost in Raleigh?+

One flat $1,200 for the consumer devices we handle — hard drives, SSDs, phones, and cards — quoted before you ship. There are no per-gigabyte fees and no diagnostic charge, and you pay $0 if we can't recover your data.
