Before finding out how much it could cost you to recover your data you first need to identify the symptoms of the hard drive (is it recognised? Is it making an abnormal noise? Is it spinning? Has it received an impact?) Here are the three main types of problem which determine the cost of your data recovery:
Hard drive symptoms:
The hard drive is still recognised by the computer and it spins without making an abnormal noise. The partition is either corrupt inaccessible or has disappeared. Your files have been deleted or the hard drive formatted by mistake. The hard drive is still not recognised in the Disk Management utility (Windows, Mac ou Linux).
Tips for your data:
Using a good data recovery software program is not enough. If you are not fully satisfied with the result Chronodisk will succeed where you failed by finding the right software-problem-type combination. If you have a SMART error you must not continue to spin the hard drive as you risk blocking it.
Hard drive symptoms:
The hard drive spins correctly may not be recognised with the correct values by the system and is making abnormal noises or even excessive vibration. The reading of the hard drive may be slowed drastically with voltage drops. Often blocked in SMART error the hard drive cannot spin at all due to a damaged printed circuit board (PCB) .
Tips for your data:
To avoid major work in the cleanroom (involving replacement of parts inside the hard drive) Chronodisk will seek to circumvent the problem slowing down the hard drive and then isolating the areas where there are too many faulty sectors. The operation can sometimes be longer but less expensive.
Hard drive symptoms:
The hard drive is usually not recognised (neither in the Disk Manager nor in the computer BIOS) it spins abnormally speeds up stops or clicks loudly. If the hard drive is dropped whilst performing read/write functions a worrying rubbing noise can become one of the symptoms. This would be the most critical failure.
Tips for your data:
A hard drive can only be opened in a cleanroom. Once they've found a perfectly compatible donated hard drive our engineers remove the mechanical components and transplant them into your faulty drive. The Firmware often needs to be reprogrammed before final step of data recovery.

The delivery time depends on the quantity of data to be reconstructed and the number of partitions to be treated on a given hard drive. Even a formatted drive can be recovered with 100% satisfaction provided that a small amount of data was rewritten.

A 100% compatible donated hard drive is required for transplantation of electro-mechanical components and finding it can sometimes be very hard. Cloning the hard drive and extracting the data are then much faster
