FAQ
When we lose data, we desperately want it back. The safest and most efficient way to recover your data is to look for professional data recovery services. There are rumors that this kind of service is expensive, but the real question should be: «Is that really the case, and if so, why, and is it worth paying?»
The data recovery is not a one-click job. The disk drive is a complicated technical device built up from different components very much sensitive to dust and wrong hands-on actions. Data recovery companies are fully equipped with expensive hardware and software to perform data recovery in certified cleanrooms. The procedure is done by certified engineers who have done dozens of recoveries and who have the experience to take the most complicated tasks even with a 1% chance. This is not the case with cheap data recovery companies. In most scenarios, they wouldn’t take cases that will require a few weeks to recover data.
They would declare a problem as unsolvable and data unrecoverable. From another perspective, if they see that the job will be complicated and that it would involve a lot of donor parts to recover it, the cheap quote they would give will result in zero/negative profit, so it wouldn’t be worth attempting for them..
If your disk is physically damaged, data recovery companies have spare disks to replace the failed disk component and then restore your data. The equipment is updated and maintained by the companies and does not come at a cheap price. The final price depends on the type and severity of the problem and the size of the disk.
The data recovery process includes two parts, the actual time engineers use to access the data on the faulty disks and machine time. Machine time is the time used by data recovery equipment to recover a portion or all the data.
The most difficult and expensive thing is to get access to the hard disk, and once access is gained, the time consumed by the machine isn’t a major factor in the price quote. Most of the time, engineers have to do the same amount of work to access the failed drive regardless of whether there is 10GB or 1TB of data.
Data recovery is a very sensitive operation, and it is essential to do it in a clean room with clean dust-free air. A clean room is a work area with controlled air, temperature, humidity, and concentration of particles, to protect sensitive hardware components from contamination and physical damage. Data recovery professionals use clean rooms to perform failure analysis and data recovery. Clean rooms are equipped with a filtration system to make clean and dust-free air.
In some cases, data recovery professionals have to open the disk drive and expose the magnetic platters to the outside environment, which is where the data is stored on a hard disk. If a single grain of dust enters the magnetic plates (normal case in non-clean rooms) that can damage the mechanism and cause the read/write heads to touch the platter surface and permanently destroy and loss of the data. It is highly recommended to perform hard disk data recovery in a cleanroom environment due to the sensitive components on hard disk drives, but not mandatory for all flash memory-based storage devices such as SSDs, memory cards, and flash drives due to the different architecture, design, and sensitivity.
At Platinum data recovery we have an ISO 5 class 100 certified cleanroom to perform all types of data recoveries. If your hard disk has suffered a physical failure, we kindly recommend you rely on data recovery professional companies who have the tools and experience to perform even the most complicated recoveries. Any activity on your disk done by non-professionals and in non-clean rooms could damage your disk and decrease the chance of recovering lost data.
We can approach the storage device problem in two ways, using data recovery software and/or data recovery equipment.
Data recovery software seems like a one-job click. There are dozens of free and commercial data recovery software you can install on your Windows and macOS. This might seem like the easiest option, but it can damage your disk. Data recovery software doesn’t have control over your hard disk. It tries to recover the lost data over and over again, even from bad sectors. In other words, in case a hard disk has bad sectors, the recovery software can force reading which is not recommended. The more secure and recommended way to recover data is to make a clone, so if data recovery equipment reads the sector, it automatically makes a clone of this sector. The next time we need to read this sector, we will do it from a clone drive and not from the original. This will save the amount of time, and the damaged hard drive will live.
If your disk firmware is corrupted, it can´t fix it. It also adds up additional load on the disk because communication between software and disk is not done directly, but via the operating system. If your disk has a physical problem, you will probably not be able to recover anything. All these facts have very much a negative effect on the success of data recovery and can damage your disk.
This is not the case with data recovery equipment. First, by following the best practice, data recovery companies are performing recoveries using professional equipment in certified cleanrooms. Data recovery equipment has control over your disk drive components, disk firmware, and bad sectors. It can put write protection on the faulty drive and avoid potential disk damage. Additionally, it can define how many milliseconds each sector will be read and jump over bad sectors. Choosing professional data recovery services provides a much higher chance for successful data recovery.
The answer depends on whether the data can be easily recreated and how much time and effort it would take to redo it. If you have a partial backup of your data saved somewhere or if your documents are mostly stored in your sent email’s attachments, then it may not be worth paying for data recovery. If you have lost pictures, it may be worth checking your social media accounts as you may be able to find most of your pictures there. However, if your data is irreplaceable, then data recovery may be your only option.
We consulted our accounting department for a cost estimate. They have advised that for logical problems, the average cost is between $400 to $450. For physical problems, the cost is estimated to be around $600 to $700.
Yes, you can perform data recovery on your own if you are certain that your storage device does not have any physical problems. For example, you can recover deleted data on your own. There are many good free and paid data recovery software options available.
