SSD (Solid State Drive) Upgrades

Life’s too short for a slow computer. Our most popular upgrade, an SSD is a game changer for older Macs and PCs, adding years of useful life. You can save upwards of $1000 instead of buying a new one — while enjoying comparable performance. But don't take our word for it — check out the many demos on YouTube. Simply put, your computer will run faster than it ever did, even when it was brand new.

This option has been available for awhile, but prohibitively expensive until the last couple of years. With professional installation, you can be assured the upgrade will realize its potential, and all your programs, files, and settings will be transferred in place, unlike this situation. All our SSD upgrades come with a free tune-up (a $75 value).

Storage

If you're running out of space, we can help. We'll help you assess your best options, and help determine which cloud storage options — if any — are right for your needs.

Hard Disk Replacements

Hard drives fail at an average rate of about 2%–5% a year (less for desktops, more for laptops). That's another way of saying that after 5 years, 10%–25% of the drives of that age might be on the verge of toast, if not there already. Since a slow computer is a hallmark of a failing hard drive, we suggest urgency if you've noticed things slowing down or hanging up, ensure you have a complete, current backup and consider a proactive replacement. We can scan your drive(s) for physical defects to determine if that's the culprit.

Hard Disk Upgrades

One of the most cost-effective ways to add extra years to your computer is to expand its storage capacity. We'll assess your storage needs, install a roomier (and often faster) drive, and include a tune-up (a $75 value) at no extra charge.

Backup

It’s not a matter of if, but when. Disasters like the loss of family photos happen more often than you think. Book a time with us to ensure you’re covered in the event of failure, loss, or theft. What would it cost you — tangibly and psychologically — to lose family photos, videos of your kids, writings and other personal data, your music collection, work files, and so on?

Data Recovery

If disaster has struck, data from a failing hard drive may be recoverable using non-invasive methods if prompt action is taken. In more serious cases, we've partnered (and provide a discount) with DriveSavers Data Recovery. Over the years, we've them many clients with happy results. No other facility comes close in terms of success rate and overall customer satisfaction.
