  • 2. Protect and insulate the drive
  • 3. Secure inside a sturdy box
  • 4. Package label and seal for shipping
  • 5. Contact a transporting courier

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.

The data recovery process begins with a free in-lab evaluation to determine the cause of data loss and what it will take to restore your data. When you contact SalvageData for data recovery services, you will receive a free in-lab evaluation to determine the cause of data loss and what it will take to restore your data. 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.

Depending on the capacity of the recovered data, we will either send it on a brand new external media or via download. SalvageData’s dual gigabit network technology allows for a faster and more secure download of the recovered data.

Data downloads are limited to 50 GB for our Economy service option, 100 GB for Standard, and 500 GB for an Emergency.

SalvageData’s data recovery services will not void your warranty. Our business is registered as an official Microsoft Trusted Partner, and an Apple Independent Repair Provider, so you can rest assured that your device is in capable hands.
