software data recovery · honest assessment first

from $130

Stop. Don’t make it worse.

The first minutes after data loss matter most. If you’ve deleted files or a drive is acting up:

  • Stop using the drive. New data can overwrite what you’re trying to recover.
  • Don’t run random recovery apps or chkdsk on a failing drive. They can make a bad situation permanent.
  • If a hard drive is clicking or grinding, power it off. Every spin can cause more damage.
  • Bring it to us. We’ll assess the device and tell you honestly what’s recoverable before you pay for recovery.

What we recover

Documents, photos, videos, email archives, project files, and more, from Windows PCs, Macs, external drives, USB flash drives and SD cards. When a drive has physical damage that requires clean-room work, we’ll explain that upfront so there are no surprises.

Then: never lose it again

Once your files are safe, we set up a simple backup that actually runs: local plus cloud, so the next failure is just an inconvenience.

How much does data recovery cost?
Software data recovery starts at $130. The final price depends on the device and the type of failure, and we give you a clear quote after assessment.
Can you recover data from a laptop that won’t turn on?
In many cases, yes. We can often remove the drive or work around the fault to reach your files. Modern MacBooks with soldered storage are more complex; we’ll explain the options.
