Plano is a corporate and technology hub in Collin County, where many people work from home offices and rely on laptops and NAS units, and where hail, heat, and the February 2021 grid failure all put drives at risk. When one fails, confirm online, ship from any carrier drop-off with a free prepaid label, and our engineers recover it in a cleanroom.
North Texas is one of the most hail-prone regions in the country, and spring storms in Collin County regularly bring large hail, damaging winds, and tornado warnings. Broken windows and roof damage can let water reach home offices, and outages and surges damage drives. Put desktops and NAS units on a UPS with surge protection, keep equipment away from windows, and keep a backup outside the house.
The February 2021 winter storm brought rolling blackouts and long outages across the region, and summer heat waves strain the grid and push garage and attic temperatures far above what drives are rated for. Home offices that run a NAS or workstation around the clock are especially exposed. Shut computers down cleanly when power becomes unstable, keep them unplugged until service stabilizes, and store drives in climate-controlled rooms rather than garages or closets without airflow.

Data recovery in Plano — common questions
Our home office NAS failed after a storm outage. Can you recover it?+
Often, yes. Do not reinitialize the array or start a rebuild. Power it down, label each drive's position, and confirm your case online. NAS and RAID systems get a free evaluation and a custom quote, and expedited service is available on request.
My laptop was in the garage during a summer heat wave and will not start. Is the data lost?+
Probably not. Let it cool to room temperature first. If it still fails, stop trying and ship it with the free prepaid label. For a single device you pay the flat $1,200 only if we recover your data.
Do I have to visit a location in Plano?+
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 Plano, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.
How much does data recovery cost in Plano?+
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.
