How Much Does HDD Data Recovery Cost? 💾

Hey! Today I want to tell you about something that keeps many of my clients awake at night - lost data!

Real-Life Price List 💰

According to our price list, HDD data recovery costs are as follows:

• Logical damage (technically working drive): 300-1000 PLN Cases where files "disappeared" but the drive still works
• Physical damage (non-working drive): 900-3500 PLN We're talking about failures where the drive isn't detected or "clicks"

What Affects the Final Price? 🤔

1. Degree of damage - are platters scratched, are heads damaged?
2. Urgency - express mode is an additional 500 PLN
3. Need to clean up after DIY recovery attempts - this is the worst :(
4. Drive type and brand - some models are real puzzles!

Workshop Examples 🛠️

Example 1: (600 PLN) 🟢

Mr. Tomek brought a drive he accidentally formatted. The drive was in perfect physical condition, data wasn't overwritten. We used specialized software and voila! Photos returned.

Example 2: (900 PLN) 🟠

Mrs. Jadwiga, an accountant, brought a drive that stopped working after... a coffee spill! The electronics were damaged. After PCB repair, the drive came back to life.

Example 3: (3200 PLN) 🔴

Dr. Marek dropped his laptop during a conference. Drive heads were completely destroyed, platters slightly scratched. We needed a compatible head donor, 3 days in the clean room, and several weeks to read the drive contents.

What Definitely NOT to Do ⛔

1. Don't put it in the freezer!
2. Don't open the casing yourself!
3. Don't hit the drive!
