Data recovery services retrieve files from failed hard drives, SSDs, and memory cards. Logical failures like deleted files are cheaper to recover than physical damage. Costs escalate with drive complexity and severity.
Average Data Recovery Costs
Logical recovery of deleted files typically costs $100 to $500. Physical recovery requiring clean-room work ranges from $500 to $1,500 or more. RAID and server recovery can cost $1,000 to $3,000. Most labs offer free evaluations.
Logical vs. Physical Failure
Logical failures involve corrupted files or accidental deletion and are recoverable with software tools. Physical failures from drive damage or crashes require disassembly in a clean-room lab. Physical recovery is significantly more expensive.
Choosing a Recovery Service
Choose a lab with clean-room facilities and a no-data-no-fee guarantee. Ask about success rates for your device type. Avoid repeatedly powering on a failing drive, as it can worsen damage. Back up recovered data immediately.
