Restor Lab also provides data recovery services to its customer for HDDs and SSDs.
“ReStor Lab started with refurbishing out-of-warranty HDD, a few years ago.” Mr. Sharad Srivastava, Founder and CEO, said, “HDD is the most fragile part of a computer. Even a free fall from few inches height on a hard surface can kill the drive. Out-of-warranty drives are considered junk in India and badly handled. However, majority of these drives can be repaired. A proper handling of HDDs can improve the drive’s reparability and thus profitability of customers. Today, ReStor Labis the only ISO 9001 certified facility in India which can repair, rectify & resize the HDDs. So far we have processed more than 800,000 drives successfully. Over the years, we have added SSD repair facilities too to our services. We are very excited to be part of Supertron group. Now, we will add services and refurbishment of more and more IT products & sub-assemblies in our portfolio which will benefit our customers.”
ReStor Lab customer-base includes local and MNC OEMs, system integrators, surveillance OEMs, and service providers, large resellers of HDD, etc.
