How much does data recovery cost?
Data recovery can cost as low as $195 and up to $990 maximum for clicking hard drives. We provide a free assessment of your drive first and have locations in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The price of data recovery depends on the type of problem. The problem can be software or hardware. For example hard drives have 4 flat rates starting at low hundreds and increasing to high hundreds depending on how difficult the problem is. Software problems means the drive is physically working ok but there is something wrong with the software causing data loss. Hardware problems means that the drive is physically not working.

Understanding Common Data Loss Prices and Costs
Our data recovery prices are simple flat rates. We quote based on the problem with the drive. Level 1 & 2 is for software issues and Level 3 & 4 is for hardware problems. Depending on how bad your drive is will depend on which price you will get quoted. Most of our prices are no data no pay. This means that in a rare situations, if we do not get data back from a drive then we do not charge for the service. Our Level 4 has an upfront non refundable data recovery attempt fee. This price is for drives that require spare parts that need to be replaced inside our clean room. It covers the cost of all resources required to give the drive the best chance of success. It also means that we do not take short cuts on the quality of service. An inexperienced recovery service will try to short cut these necessary expenses. All our prices include goods and services tax. We also have Australia's largest spare parts inventory which is available to our competitors.
🟢 Accidental Deletion (Affordable)
Cost: $0–$249
Accidentally deleting a file might seem catastrophic, but it's often the simplest and least expensive data loss situation to address. This is because deleted files, although no longer immediately visible, remain on the storage device until new data overwrites them. Consequently, with the right data recovery software, they can be promptly restored.
🟡 Logical Failure (Moderate)
Cost: $249–$549
Logical failures encompass issues related to file access that arise from non-mechanical causes, like directory damage from malware attacks, master boot record corruption, or unintentional formatting. Often, data from a logically compromised storage device can only be retrieved when the device is connected to another computer and scanned in read-only mode—a capability beyond the scope of many DIY solutions.
🟠Mechanical Failure (Expensive)
Cost: $549–$990
If your hard drive begins emitting unusual sounds, suffers water damage, or unexpectedly fails, you're faced with a significant challenge. Mechanical issues can be costly to address due to the need for replacement parts, sophisticated techniques and tools, and a specialized cleanroom environment.
