Data Recovery Prices
People who usually contact us with data recovery inquiries are curious to know the price to recover their lost data. While we do our best to express the cost based on the symptoms, it can be challenging. Storage devices fail due to physical or logical problems, and quoting an exact estimate without inspecting the drive would be impossible. This is why we offer a free, zero-commitment diagnostic and evaluation. Our customer has the option to cancel the service after a free diagnostic.
Why are we happy to see low-end price quotes?
Simple cases are often more cost-effective for both the customer and our business. For example, we may complete a straightforward recovery job in a matter of hours and quote the customer $300. In contrast, a severely damaged device may require up to two weeks of work, and even if we quote the customer $1400, the profit margins will not be as significant. Our pricing strategy emphasizes efficiency to ensure our customers receive the best possible value for their data recovery needs. Here at Platinum data recovery, we will do everything possible to keep your price quote low

There is no single flat rate for data recovery, and that’s for a good reason. Over the years, we have realized that no data recovery case is the same. Here are several other factors involved that influence the pricing of data recovery services.
Type of problem:
Logical: a non-physical failure. For example, file system corruption, virus attack, file or structure corruption, firmware corruption, or accidental format/deletion of data. Physical: wear and tear or damage of internal components. In this type of recovery, we have to take the storage device apart to get the data back.
Labor hours spent:
How much time does an experienced engineer need to put in to recover the data from your failed device? The more complex the data retrieval, the more labor hours are needed to amend the damage/corruption.
Donor parts used:
The number and type of donor parts needed to get the data back.
Turnaround Time:
Depending on the urgency of the work, our customers can select regular service or priority service for a nominal fee.
FAQ
To provide you with an exact quote, we first diagnose your drive to know what we are dealing with. Only then we can provide you with an accurate price. However, we can provide you with a price range to give you an idea of what to expect. Alternatively, you can use a price range calculator.
Free diagnostic takes two business days. We have expedited the diagnostic for $29 for the next business day or $99 for the same day diagnostic. Diagnostic is the best time to expedite the service because it does not depend on the condition of your storage device.
We have different types of services that offer different timelines from 8 hours to 12 business days. Speed depends on the particular recovery service you select and the severity of the damage done to your storage device.
