Understanding Data Recovery Costs

Transparent Pricing for Every Scenario

Several key factors impact the cost of data recovery. The type of device—whether a hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD), or other storage media—plays a crucial role. Additionally, the extent of damage (physical, logical, or both) directly affects recovery complexity and, consequently, the price. Each of these elements can significantly influence the total recovery cost.

Why Data Recovery Costs Vary

Data recovery isn’t a flat-rate service. Costs depend on the severity of damage, type of storage device, and effort required to retrieve your files. Here’s what influences pricing:

Type of Damage

The type of damage drives recovery costs. Logical issues (e.g., deletion, corruption) use standard recovery methods, while physical damage (e.g., hardware failure, water exposure) requires specialized facilities.

Device Complexity

Recovering a standard hard drive (HDD) differs from modern SSDs, RAID arrays, or encrypted devices. Advanced storage tech demands advanced solutions.

Recovery Urgency

While we prioritize all cases, expedited service for time-sensitive recoveries may incur additional costs (discussed upfront).

Labor & Resources

Complex cases may require disassembling drives in certified cleanrooms, custom engineering, or proprietary tools—all factored into your quote.

We Recover What Others Can’t

We recover data from severely damaged, encrypted, and high-end storage devices—even when others say it’s impossible. Our cleanroom lab and advanced recovery techniques allow us to fix the toughest failures, from motor issues to damaged platters.

Why Fixed Pricing Often Fails You

Many companies advertise fixed rates but only cover basic recoveries.

Typical Fixed-Price Pitfalls

“We can’t handle this case.”

“This requires a more expensive tier.”

Our Risk-Free Data Recovery Process

1

Initial Assessment

Start with a free initial consultation. Our team will review your data loss situation and explain the evaluation fee. This fee covers diagnostics and lab resources. We will provide all the necessary details about the evaluation process before any work begins.

2

Device Shipment & Evaluation

If you decide to proceed, we will send you a prepaid, insured shipping label. This allows you to securely send your drive to our lab. Once we receive it, our engineers will carefully examine the device. They will determine whether the issue is due to physical damage or logical corruption. This helps us fully understand your situation.

3

Quote & Recovery Options

After the evaluation, we will send you a detailed quote. It will include the diagnosis, suggested recovery steps, and costs. The price depends on the complexity and urgency of your case. You can choose to proceed with the recovery. If you decide not to, we will return your drive at no extra cost, apart from the initial evaluation fee.

4

Secure Delivery & Guarantee

Once the recovery is complete, we will transfer your data to a new encrypted drive, ensuring its security. Then, we will securely ship it back to you. The encryption prevents unauthorized access, giving you complete control and peace of mind throughout the process.
