 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my hard drive to be fixed by Digby, and he did a great job. I was concerned I was going to lose the data, but he was able to fix and transfer my data onto a new one, after ordering some parts in. Digby regularly kept me informed on the progress and got the job done. Very happy!
