Our professional mail-in service provides hard drive recovery, SSD data recovery, MacBook recovery, and RAID recovery without the expensive prices of local Boston data recovery shops.

Hard Drive Climate Risks & Data Loss Prevention in Boston
Climate Zone: humid continental
Hot summers and cold winters with year-round precipitation
Boston's humid-continental climate combines winter ice storms, Atlantic salt air, and summer heat into a trifecta of storage hazards. Salt air from the harbor accelerates connector corrosion even in stored drives, while winter humidity cycles create condensation damage. If your drive failed during a nor'easter or after extended storage in a damp lab, corrosion and condensation damage are likely.
Humidity can accelerate corrosion on drive platters and electronic components. Store drives in sealed bags with silica gel packets before shipping.
Power surges during storms can damage drives. If you experienced outages, avoid repeated power-on attempts which can worsen damage.
High temperatures can cause thermal expansion in drive components. Never leave drives in vehicles during summer. Ship with insulated packaging.
Extreme cold can make drive components brittle. Allow drives to reach room temperature before powering on. Use insulated packaging for winter shipping.
Coastal salt air accelerates electronic corrosion. Store drives in sealed, climate-controlled environments. Clean exterior contacts before shipping.
General Storage Recommendations
Keep drives at 50-80°F with 30-50% relative humidity. Store in anti-static bags away from direct sunlight and magnetic sources. When shipping, use original packaging when possible or pack securely with bubble wrap in a sturdy box.

Boston's salt air and humidity can accelerate drive corrosion. Store drives in sealed anti-static bags with silica gel packets, away from windows and exterior walls. If shipping during humid months, use insulated packaging. If your drive was stored in a coastal environment and has failed, don't attempt to power it on repeatedly—this can worsen corrosion damage.
Yes. Boston's summer temperatures can cause thermal stress that damages drive components. Never leave drives in vehicles during summer—interior temperatures can exceed 150°F. If your drive was exposed to extreme heat and failed, let it return to room temperature gradually before any recovery attempt. Rapid cooling can cause additional damage from condensation.
Boston's cold winters can make drive components brittle and cause lubricants to thicken. Never power on a frozen drive—let it acclimate to room temperature for several hours first. When shipping during winter, use insulated packaging to protect against temperature extremes during transit.
Yes, we specialize in water-damaged drive recovery. If your drive was exposed to floodwater during a hurricane: DO NOT power it on, place it in an open container (not sealed), and ship it to us as soon as possible. The longer water sits on internal components, the more corrosion occurs. We've successfully recovered data from hurricane-damaged drives across the Gulf Coast.
