Most files that are deleted can be recovered in short order by a competent tech. So can the data on most "dead" hard drives. And not all "dead" hard drives need to be sent off to a lab. Unless your drive, disks, tapes or other media has been in a fire or under water, we can probably get some, if not all, of your important data back. Recovery done at our shop is billed by actual time spent, not the time it takes. While some "dead" drives take weeks to recover, the actual time spent by the tech is usually 1-3 hours.Rates

We can usually tell if your data is recoveralbe within the first 15 minutes, though actual recovery time for all data will be difficult to estimate.Data recovery from obsolete media is $65-85/hr dependant on the equipment required.
We can not break strong encryption, and will not attempt to "crack" password protected files & systems unless you show proof that you are the legal owner of the files or systems in question.
