Repair My Drive for only $60!
If your hard drive, flash drive, or SSD has suddenly stopped working, and you can no longer access your important data, then our $60 Repair Service is exactly what you need. This is NOT a data recovery service; it is a media repair service. A large percentage of drive failures can actually be repaired to a point where the data can be safely extracted without professional equipment. If possible, Outsource will repair and send you back a working drive so that you can perform the backup yourself.

Diagnostics take 24-48 business hours. The repair service may take up to an additional 10 days.
Upon completion of the service, we will perform required data access test. If it passes, you will have full data access from your hard drive, flash drive, or solid state drive. If you have any issues, contact us immediately, and we will make it right.
No. Our equipment used for this service blocks our technicians from any data access. The only tool available is LBA access check to ensure you can get to your data. By servicing Client media, Outsource enters in a full non-disclosure agreement with its Client.
Firmware is an internal hard drive operating system that consists of hundreds or thousands pieces of code; corruption in firmware code may result in loss of data access.
You may send only the PCB by itself. However, we will render the service only if the PCB has an external ROM chip and will no perform any diagnostics without the whole hard drive. There are no refunds in these cases.
The $60 Repair Service is only offered at our main lab in the United States. Our European lab in Germany only offers data recovery services.
