We are happy to provide data recovery at Capitol Macintosh!
There are a few things to consider with data recovery though.
MacBooks: We can only recover data in store from MacBooks up to 2017. This is when Apple started transitioning to the T2 chip in their machines. For MacBooks 2018 and later, we may be able to recover data in store. But if we are unable to do so, we can refer you to our partnered data recovery specialist that services these newer model Apple laptops.
iMacs: We can only recover data from iMacs up until 2019. This is when Apple transitioned their desktops to their own chips. For 2020 iMac hard drives, we may be able to recover data in store. But if we are unable to do so, we can refer you to our partnered data recovery specialist that services hard drives from 2020 iMacs.
PCs: We have much more leeway, and are more likely to be able to recover data off of your machine.
After Late-2020: Whether your Apple machine is a laptop or desktop, in late 2020, Apple started adding their proprietary Silicon chip. Although this guarantees a much more secure hard drive, it also extends to recovering data off of the machine. In these cases, our data recovery partner may be able to extract information off of Apple Silicon chip models (Late 2020 to present).
Our data recovery partner is the best in the country, with a certified ISO 5 clean room. If going this route, the service does start at around $1000 if they can recover your data. We can ship your drive or device to them for a free evaluation to determine severity of failure and complexity of work involved to recover the data. If you choose not to proceed, or they can not recover the data, there is no charge.
