How much does data recovery cost? E-mail

The cost to recover data varies due to several factors:

  1. Is there internal damage?  If so, what is damaged?
  2. Is the PCB in good working condition?
  3. What file system is being used?
  4. Is the file system in tact?
  5. Is the firmware corrupt?
  6. How large is the hard drive?
  7. Is there media damage (aka bad sectors)?  If so, how bad is it?
  8. What was done since the data was lost? 
  9. Has the drive been previously opened?  If so, is it contaminated?
  10. Is the drive part of a RAID system?  If so, what kind of RAID and how many drives?

Other factors include the time and cost to source the necessary parts drive and get it shipped in.  It is very difficult to determine the cost and time to recover a damaged hard drive without completing a hands on assessment.

Recovery Force has been working hard to lower the prices that clients pay.  The price range for a hard drive recovery is still between $300 and $2500 Canadian dollars; however, we are usually able to recover data from most drives for less than $1250.

"I had a very difficult problem where my hard drive had lost all my files. As it turned out my back-up files were also corrupted. Recovery Force recovered over 95% of all the files. Most importantly they helped us in the reconfiguration and the most appropriate way to back up the files. I would absolutely recommend Recovery Force should you run into problems with hard drive."
