Hard Drive Recovery vs SSD Recovery
Because SSDs and hard drives fail differently, recovery approaches also differ.
SSD Recovery
Quote required
SSDs use different storage technology and often fail differently.
Common issues include:
- Controller failures
- Electronic faults
- Firmware problems
- Sudden drive failure
What Should You Do If Data Is Important?
If the lost data is valuable:
- Stop using the device immediately
- Avoid installing new software
- Avoid saving additional files
- Avoid repeated recovery attempts
- Seek assessment as soon as practical
Continued use can reduce the likelihood of successful recovery.
Can Deleted Files Be Recovered?
Sometimes.
Recovery may be possible when:
- Files were recently deleted
- Storage usage has been limited since deletion
- The affected sectors have not been overwritten
Deleted file recovery starts from $99. Success depends on several factors, which is why assessment comes before assumptions.
Is Data Recovery Worth It?
That depends on the value of the data.
Recovery is often worthwhile when:
- Important business files are involved
- Family photos are affected
- Educational work is involved
- Recovery costs are lower than the value of the data
- Alternative backups are unavailable
Recovery may not be practical when:
- Suitable backups already exist
- The data is no longer required
- The storage device has suffered severe damage
Every case is different, which is why assessment comes first.

How We Assess Data Recovery Jobs
5 checks
Before making recommendations we assess:
Storage Device Condition
Checking whether the device is accessible.
Failure Type
Identifying whether the issue is logical, electronic or physical.
Recovery Objectives
Determining which files are most important.
Device Stability
Assessing whether recovery attempts are likely to be successful.
Recovery Viability
Providing realistic advice about possible outcomes.
This helps establish the most practical recovery approach.
What Is Included in Every Data Recovery Assessment?
Diagnostic Assessment
We identify the cause of the problem.
Recovery Evaluation
We assess whether recovery appears feasible.
Recovery Recommendations
We explain the available options and confirm the price.
Data Recovery Process
Where appropriate, recovery attempts are performed.
Verification
Recovered data is checked where possible.
Why Do Data Recovery Quotes Differ?
Recovery pricing can vary depending on:
- Device type
- Storage technology
- Failure type
- Amount of data
- Recovery complexity
A deleted file recovery is typically very different from recovering data from a failed SSD or physically damaged hard drive.

Data Recovery FAQs
A diagnostic assessment starts from $49 and deleted file recovery from $99. Hard drive, SSD, USB drive and memory card recovery are quoted after assessment because the failure type and complexity vary.
Sometimes. Recovery depends on how the files were deleted, how much the device has been used since deletion, and whether the affected data has been overwritten.
In many cases some level of recovery may be possible, depending on the nature of the failure and the condition of the drive.
Possibly. SSD recovery depends on the failure type and the condition of the storage device. SSDs fail differently to hard drives, so the approach differs.
If the data is important, stop using the device and avoid repeated recovery attempts. Continued use can reduce recovery success.
Sometimes. Many customers recover photos, videos and personal files from failed hard drives, SSDs and memory cards. Success depends on the condition of the device and the nature of the failure.
