We get a number of people asking us about return media, what does it mean or what will it be? At Blizzard Data Recovery we ship your data back on a new USB flash drive or hard drive. We provide free return media so you will know in advance what the cost will be to get your data back. Many companies charge extra to put your data on a new USB storage device.
At Blizzard we only use USB flash drives for recoveries that are less than 50GB. For recoveries less than 50GB we typically use the Sandisk USB 2.0 Cruzer Glide. They aren’t monolithic and they are pretty sturdy. For recoveries over 50GB up to 5TB we typically use a portable USB drive that can accommodate the recovered data. For recoveries over 5TB we often use full sized external desktop hard drives from Western Digital and Seagate.
