Data Recovery Costs
Data recovery services are not cheap, and like anything else, you get what you pay for. With that being said, we do our best to keep our prices reasonable and fair. We exhaust every option to get your data back. That means going above and beyond to use every resource available.
Hard Drive Data Recovery Prices
Data recovery prices for hard drives are based on two different types of failures. Logical recoveries are performed in situations where the drive is still physically operational, but the data is not accessible. This can be due to file system damage, accidental formatting, etc. Physical recoveries are performed on hard drives that have component failures, and require repair before the recovery process can be performed.
We never charge an evaluation fee, and in most cases there are no attempt fees if the data is unrecoverable. In the table below, you will see prices for logical and physical recoveries. Logical recoveries are cases where the hard drive is still working mechanically, but has an issue with the file system that prevents the data from being accessible. Physical recoveries are those cases where the drive will need to have repairs made before the recovery process can begin.
Logical Physical
Less than 2TB – R2000 – R4000
2TB to 3TB – R3000 – R6000
4TB to 5TB – R5000 – R10000
6TB to 8TB+ – R10000 – R 20000
*For fire and flood damaged hard drives, prices can be much higher. Let us take a look at your drive first and we will give you a price after the evaluation.
Additional Fees:
External storage devices for recovered data start at R3000. The size and final cost depend on how much data is recovered.
All jobs are shipped to our lab. We are NOT a walk-in business with normal hours.
