Nowadays there are a large number of
companies with different skills who offer data recovery service. Many of
these companies use a lot of adverts in search systems, multiple web
sites, different pictures with broken drives, but all this just good
marketing tactics and some fake tricks.
There are not many companies who really can offer a professional data
recovery service.
Most of DR companies appear to be just cheap repair shops with wide
profile the staff of which consists of a pair experts.
These kind of workers can only try to restore data using downloaded free
software from the web and they cannot not guarantee the result and could
take money just for the attempt.
In a case of failure, they could worsen the condition through repeat
attempts and in the worst case scenario, render the drive unrecoverable.
For these reasons, when choosing a data recovery company, only companies
specializing in this type of service should be considered. Many
companies like to tout huge success rates of 90% or greater, some even
goes as far as saying they can recover 98% of the jobs they receive. But
can they really? How are they arriving at these numbers? Who audits them
to verify their findings? Many times these are just numbers pulled out
of thin air, and even if they are legitimate, there are so many
exceptions to how they generated these numbers that it is at the very
least, misleading the consumer.The fact is, no data recovery company can
boast of such high success rates unless: A) they receive very few data
recovery cases, B) they do not count drives that are severely damaged
with scored platters, fire or flood damage, or C) they are extremely
lucky and get very few severely damaged drives. In reality, it is
probably more accurate to say that the average data recovery firms are
only able to recover a little more than half the drives they receive.
Probably in the neighborhood of 60%-75% on average. Not 90+%. There are
many cases where a drive just cannot be recovered. Your data is
basically held to the platter by a thin magnetic coating. If that
coating is wiped from the drive when the platters are scored, it becomes
"intellectual dust" floating around the inside of your hard drive case,
and quite frankly, only God would have the ability to reassemble your
information. It would be akin to having a nice snowman in your front
yard, and suddenly a snow blower comes along and destroys it. Sure, the
snow is still there, but you'll never put it back together exactly the
way it was before. Unfortunately, hard drives are VERY exact, and for
your data to be recoverable, everything has to be as perfect as
possible. There is no magic piece of equipment that can rebuild scored
platters, or read from severely corroded or warped drives. The
intricacies related to a hard drives functionality rule out any
possibility of miracle equipment that will some how restore data from a
platter that has been wiped clean due to a head crash. Instead of lying
to you with success rates that more than likely can not be substantiated
with any supportive data, we back up our work by letting you know up
front we don't get paid unless we recover your data. In other words our
business, and it's sole survival, revolves around actually recovering
data for as many customers as possible. With this kind of business
model, we have to be good at what we do, and our continued growth is a
testament to our success rate. You can be assured that we will exhaust
every option we have available in order to recover your data.
The main criteria for selection:
- Choose only a highly specialized firm. If
the company performs over services in addition to data recovery, such as
installing software, chances are that the quality of service is small.
- A respected firm will not take money for diagnostics, which commonly
only has a duration of no more than 10-15 minutes. This time is
sufficient for a professional to be able to figure out the cause of data
loss, to say how much it will cost and how much recovery time for this
will be needed.
- A professional data recovery company only requests payment for their
services after the work has been performed and getting a positive
result. The client has the right to ensure the success of actions made
by experts.
- You can ask for real pictures of the equipment or class 100 clean
room, to ensure physical work will be done in the proper conditions
- Be sure to ask if you can pay for the work by wire transfer,
unregistered unreliable firms, of course, regret.
- If the organization is solid, and the staff are skilled, you must
be explained what will be produced with the device, why it is
needed, whether to buy a donor drive and how much the service will cost.
- It is unlikely that you will find a good company at a low cost, but
you can be confident that a positive result in the complete privacy is
worth it.
