Never expose the inside of a hard drive to open air! Never use data recovery software if the hard drive is showing errors, signs of fatigue (abnormally slow)

Our prices for data recovery services depend on the complexity of the problem and not on the amount of the data you wish to recover. If your data is work related, for a slightly higher cost, your data will be recovered faster. This option is available on your hdd sending form.
Our data recovery lab is the only one in Quebec to be ISO 3 and ISO 5 certified. Other cleanrooms only have ISO 5 class 100 certification. If mechanical parts need to be replaced inside your hard drive, the cleanroom is a necessary step.

Before finding the cost for your data recovery, you need to identify the symptoms of the hard drive (Is it recognised? Is it making any abnormal sounds? Is it spinning? Did it receive an impact?) Here are the three main types of failures and the costs for their data recovery procedures:
Hard drive symptoms:
The hard drive is still recognised by the computer and spins without making any abnormal sounds. The partition is either corrupted, inaccessible or has disappeared. Your files have been deleted or the hard drive has been formatted by mistake. The hard drive is still not recognised in the Disk Management utility (Windows, Mac ou Linux).
Tips for your data:
Sometimes, using a good data recovery software program is not enough. When you are not fully satisfied with the result, Chronodisk will succeed where you failed by finding the right software-problem-type combination. Be careful, if you have a SMART error, you must stop and disconnect 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 parts replacement inside the hard drive), Chronodisk will seek to circumvent the problem by slowing down the hard drive and then isolating the areas with too many faulty sectors. The operation is less expensive but might take more time.
Hard drive symptoms:
The hard drive is usually not recognised (neither by 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 occur as one of the symptoms. This type of failure is the most critical.
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 finalising the data recovery.

The price you pay to recover your data depends on the complexity of the failure and on the capacity of your hard drive. No data no charge! If our attempts are unsuccessful, Chronodisk will only charge you the price of the spare parts used in cleanroom.

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