Data Recovery Costs ✔️ Prices - Hard Drive, RAID, SSD Recovery - RecoveryLab (2023)

There is a price range. The cost per data recovery varies by hard drive. The reason is different factors in each order that affect it. It is crucial whether it is an external USB hard drive or an internal, possibly fast-spinning server hard drive. Furthermore, the memory size, i.e. also the internal number of disks and read/write heads (two per magnetic disk) and the damage itself are decisive for the calculation of the effort.

AExamplewith effort-related costs for a mechanically damaged HDD:
WD Elements external hard drive, 1TB (Hard drive is not recognized)
Error report: a read/write head is defective, work under clean room conditions is required. Restoration of the data structure on the target disk with a good chance of success.
Cost of restoration including material costs: € 817.53 (€ 687.00 net excl. 19% VAT)

Our prices given here are target prices. With the analysis report you will receive our cost estimate with a fixed price offer for data recovery.

The data rescue effort depends on the damage that is determined in the diagnosis. There are many hours of rescue effort between electronic damage and encryption, which can be seen in different ways.

We cannot know in advance whether data can be recovered from a RAID. An estimate depends on the accuracy of the information you can give us about the RAID data loss.
If, for example, the log files of the RAID controller (or the operating system) and all information about the data carriers (manufacturer, model, firmware version) as well as the detailed damage history (chronological) are known, we can already make an approximate estimate of the damage based on our experience Submit costs for RAID data recovery.

A quick and professional data carrier analysis is particularly useful for RAIDs. This makes it possible to make a sensible decision in terms of the company data within hours after the analysis result and knowledge of the data rescue costs and rescue chances.

Yes, that is possible. We offer special conditions for orders with data carriers of the same construction and similar damage. Especially if there is a development effort for us, these costs can be spread over several data carriers. This saves us costs and we are happy to pass these savings on to you.

With different data carriers, e.g. hard drives from different manufacturers and types, it is often possible to offer a "volume discount". Large companies, for example, use special conditions for data recovery with a minimum annual purchase within framework agreements with us.

Yes, in addition to normal bank transfer, cash payment and payment by EC card, we also accept online payment methods such as PayPal, instant transfer and Bitcoin.

When processing using BTC, you will receive a payment address with the invoice. However, the Bitcoin transaction must take place within 24 hours due to the high volatility.

Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question, since an offer for data recovery always corresponds to the damage and data carrier in question. Every company calculates its costs on a different basis.

However, when comparing different offers, attention must be paid to the necessary qualifications and experience of the respective company. It is also important to know whether the data rescuer has his own means and tools (hardware and software), a clean room laboratory and, if necessary, his own development department.

Always keep in mind that you bear the risk for your data carriers. If a data rescue attempt fails due to a lack of competence, the only and last chance for consistent data is lost in many cases.

Our data recovery service includes recovery services for all types of storage hardware, including hard drives, DVD, SD / microSD memory cards, SSD, NAS.

A rescue order is possible in the case of physical, electronic or logical damage with defective sectors, deleted files or generally no access to drives. We are familiar with all possible causes such as overvoltage with short-circuit damage, failure of RAID hard drives due to system damage, fall damage, motor damage, bearing damage and water damage.

In the case of logical damage, the file system (often NTFS / FAT 32) is decisive for the data recovery effort. Most cases were operated with the Windows operating system. However, other operating systems such as MacOS or Linux can also be used as the computer system. Editing is possible for almost every error message and many problems.

Electronics boards (PCB) should generally not be exchanged without precise knowledge. We know of many examples where areas on the hard disk (e.g. the firmware) were irrevocably overwritten by a "Do it yourself repair". If there is also an odor, a component has probably been burnt or damaged.

In this respect, it is above all a higher effort for the data recovery company, which ultimately has an effect on the follow-up costs for restoring the company data.
