Hard Drive Data Recovery

We do all kinds of Data recovery of standard IDE and SATA hard drives. Our prices start at $399 (this price is the same for a hard drive that comes out of either a desktop computer or a laptop computer) for standard services to recover your data off a hard drive that can spin and operate. If we are not able to access your hard drive at the power up, there are other options available to recover your information but this process may involve more costs.

One of our first steps is diagnosing the hard drive that is brought to us. There is a non refundable deposit of $100 for diagnosing the hard drive. Once we get an idea of how to proceed on recovering your information we will let you know and put in a work order. If you choose to continue your $100 deposit will go towards the final total.

If your hard drive has any sort of damage that requires us to repair it, we will be sure you let you know. This will take a little more time and may incur more costs for this process.

Data Duplication

Costs will be determined based on the complexity of the job and amount to be duplicated.

Memory Cards & USB Sticks

There is a flat $49 per item for recovery on USB Sticks and Memory Cards

What don’t you do as an Ethical Hacker?

Anything unethical.

“What is unethical?”  Here is my answer: If you have to ask if it’s ethical, it’s probably not.

Sorry, If you don’t own the system or have permission from another, I will not help you.  I know that sounds harsh but I would rather stay out of Government provided housing.  Glad we have that understanding.

Serious. No Joke. If its bad enough of a request I may have to call in a few friends to help me out.

Will you hack “my” Yahoo, MSN, Google, MySpace, or Facebook”

No, I won’t. You don’t own the profile, you don’t own the system. Asking this type of question will again get you a NO.

How much do you charge:

Standard pricing is as follows:

• Computer Repair/Tuneup
  $60 / hr
• (Basic) Virus & Malware Removal
  $85
  
• (Complex) Virus & Malware Removal
  $125

Data Recovery:

Will you really help me get back information?
Yep and anything else lost on your drive that you would like recovered.

Will you share my data/information with others?
No. Absolutely not.

How much of my information will you see during your recovery?
This really depends on the type of recovery. In order to verify if we could actually recover the files we may need open a file or two.

How do I get my data back?
We will return your information on DVDs unless you are wanting an external hard drive.

Will you give me back my original drive?
We can do this but we don’t recommend it. You do have the option of having us destroy the hard drive and turning it into complete scrap metal. There is no telling how much longer the drive will last you. Chances are if you do hire us to recover your information it was pretty much on it’s last leg.

Can I pay a rush fee?
Yes.

What if you can’t recover my information, Do I still need to pay?
Yes. We put time into diagnosing the issues so the deposit go towards that process.

How long does a recovery take?
Several factors play into the time required to diagnose, repair, and successfully recover a customer’s data.  The level of damage and proper sourcing of spare internal parts and repair of micro-circuitry are the three main concerns and the time to recover can vary from a few days to weeks and in extreme cases even months.

Can you guarantee that I can get my information?
Nothing is a for sure. We will do our absolute best.

How long will you keep my data?
30 days. This should be enough time to recover and send you your information.
