Get Inexpensive Data Recovery Next Time Your Hard Drive Crashes
Posted on May 21, 2010
So there you are, minding your own business, finishing off a very large report for work. This thing is going to make or break your career with your current employer. The next day, it’s time to print off said report for a meeting and boom computer crashes. More specifically, your hard drive crashes and you cannot access your report or any other data.
But fear not, all is not lost! Data recovery is the only way to get lost data back from a crashed drive. Of course, if you had a back-up you could have avoided this entirely. Regardless, the data that you could lose is vital and you need a data recovery service to get it back and as soon as possible.
So What Data Recovery Company to Hire?
The difficult part of hiring any data recovery company is finding one that won’t over charge. The cost of a full data recovery can be quite expensive (upwards of $1000 for 500 gigabytes) which makes it vital that you find the lowest cost option. One of the best choices I’ve found is Aero Data Recovery. Typically, you’ll spend less than $700 for their full data recovery service, although you’ll likely have to buy a separate disk or flash card so that they can send your recovered data back to you.
One of the more popular disk recovery companies is Disk Doctors. They’ll be more expensive (around $1000-$1500) but they’re reliable and give a free evaluation when you send in your broken drive. Micra Data Recovery is of a similar ilk. They too offer a free evaluation, lets you know what is wrong, and then will provide a full quote for recovering your data. They’re more of a mid-range option ($800-$1200) and are known for their quality customer service.
How is Everything Recovered?
This is a tricky question to answer as it depends on exactly how lost your data. Most often it’s the complete failure of a hard drive, sometimes signified by a clicking sound. A data recovery company can read off the physical disk based on the knowledge of what operating system was used with it. Many are certified with manufacturers so that they can open the drive without voiding the warranty, which is vital as you’ll want to return the thing after your data recovery is finished.
