As data recovery specialists at Carolina Data Recovery in Charlotte, NC, we often hear from clients who thought “it couldn’t happen to me.” That’s exactly what happened to John Holobenko, President and CEO of the Pineville, North Carolina Chamber of Commerce and founder of Business Reimagined LLC.

With 35 years in high technology, John had critical business files on his PC, until an SSD failure erased everything. Local repair shops gave up, but a referral led him to our lab.

We recovered 99.9% of his data, and John graciously shared this honest, uncoached video testimonial:

Key takeaway from John: “I took it to some local PC repair people, and they gave me no hope, but fortunately, somebody referenced me to Carolina Data Recovery… Just a tremendous job. I can’t recommend them higher.”

This is why we emphasize our No Data – No Charge policy, on-site cleanroom technology, and expertise across SSDs, RAID, NAS, servers, and more. Since 1999, we’ve helped businesses and individuals across the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia recover irreplaceable files—fast, securely, and transparently.

A note on our testimonial program: To encourage honest feedback, we offer every client a $50 discount on their project if they opt to record a short video testimonial after reviewing their recovered data. Feedback can be positive, negative, or mixed—the discount is given regardless, and all are documented on invoices and in QuickBooks.
