Our pricing guide for Data Recovery is below. Also see our list of Capabilities below.

The Data Recovery Process and Life Expectancy of the device.
It should also noted that by the time any data storage item is sent to us it has almost reached the end of its life. The recovery procedure normally marks the last chance of life for it. The repair procedure is merely to get the data off the device and marks the final resting place of the hard drive / flash memory / usb memory stick! In any event we would never recommend re-using any failed/repaired data storage device. Your data is simply too important and precious to risk it.

Precautions to protect your data during recovery?
We take a 'belt and braces' approach when it comes to recovering your data. If we use any specialist software, it is verified 'read-only' software, and we also take the added precaution of installing a 'data-write blocker' which physically prevents writing any data to your disk. This equipment costs several thousand pounds. Never let anyone near your data who simply relies on software alone not to corrupt or accidentally overwrite your data. We also only work on 'clones' of your original data leaving the original intact in a forensically sound manner. Not all companies take this additional step.

Speed of recovery
We understand that when you have lost your data, speed of return is essential. You may have staff waiting to proceed. The sooner we see the disk the sooner we can start to advise you of the likely timescale. Every job is different and may range from an hour for emailed corrupt files to several days for damaged hard drives. We will provide you regular information throughout recovery and if required part-ship data back to you to enable your business to continue functioning.

Your data privacy is a priority for us.
We have full non-disclosure and privacy agreement for any data recovered to protect your privacy.
We are not interested in the content, only getting the data off your hard drive CD, DVD, or memory card.

Returning your recovered data or repaired file.
The data will be given to you on either DVD, CD, Email, or another hard drive. You choose!
Note we supply hard drives for those that require their data back on a hard drive, and we would be pleased to quote you the additional cost of this based on the size of hard drive and your personal requirements.
