Data Recovery FAQs
Everything you want to know about data recovery and restoration.
Professional data recovery can cost anywhere from $300 to over $1.900. What determines the cost is the type of device, type of damage and its severity, as well as the turnaround time selected.
Turnaround time affects the price because it determines when we start working on your storage device(s). If you need your data recovered ASAP, for example, we highly recommend our 24/7 emergency services. This is a premium-cost service, but it means that our team will work day and night, holidays and weekends, until your data is restored.
For an estimated range of pricing for your specific case, you can fill out our quick survey at ‘Request Help‘. By sending us a bit more information about your situation, we can automatically give you a quote for our services.

If you decide to move forward with the recovery process, our team of certified professionals will work quickly and securely to get your data back. All data is recovered in our ISO-certified laboratory and we follow strict privacy standards, such as HIPAA.
