MAXELL, DriveSavers JOIN FORCES TO PROTECT, RESTORE DATA

Maxell Corp of America, a technology and marketing leader in premium recordable media products, announced it has partnered with DriveSavers Data Recovery Inc, a worldwide leader in data recovery services.

With more critical data being stored electronically, DriveSavers data recovery services have become increasingly essential, especially when disk drives or high-end servers fail. With a success rate of over 90 percent, DriveSavers is recommended by Maxell as well as most drive manufacturers and computer makers worldwide. DriveSavers processes hundreds of data recovery requests per day and returns recovered data to its customers on Maxell branded media -- a popular choice of DriveSavers customers.

"If you lose your data, we can save it," said Scott Gaidano, president of DriveSavers. "While hard drives are more reliable than ever, it's a fact that every drive will fail someday and the loss of critical data could be catastrophic. In partnering with Maxell, we also recognize the difference that their high quality media can make in saving and recovering data." DriveSavers takes every step to minimize future data loss and recommends using high quality, durable media from Maxell.

"No company recognizes the importance of data protection and recovery more than DriveSavers," said Peter Brinkman, Maxell's vice president of marketing. "The choice of Maxell media by the worldwide leader in data recovery demonstrates the strength of the Maxell brand and verifies our commitment to quality and reliability. DriveSavers' customers can be assured that the information they entrust to them and to Maxell media will be readily available. And, Maxell customers who have come to expect around-the-clock service will find the same high-quality service from DriveSavers."

DriveSavers provides its services to consumers as well as small and large businesses worldwide. Corporate customers that use DriveSavers services include American Express, Wells Fargo and General Electric.
