How Do You Pick a Data Recovery Service?
This video features an interview with John Christopher, Senior Data Recovery Engineer for DriveSavers.com. He talks about how you need to select a reputable data recovery service, especially for confidentiality reasons, and discusses the importance of determining whether or not recovering the data is actually worth the cost of the service. -
Step 1: Company Credentials
- There are a few things to look for to help find the best data recovery company for your project and price range.
- Business History: How long has the company been around? A company that has been around less than five years may be a great company. However, the longer the company has been around, in general, the better the reputation and the better odds you will have to find a quality company.
- Services: The company you go with should have experience dealing with the type of data recovery problem you have. This could refer to a specific hard drive, a specific brand of hardware, or a specific type of data recovery issue.
- Clean rooms: According to sources, A class 100 Clean Room is the industry standard for data recovery projects.

Step 2: Match the Company to the Project
- Determine how essential your data is and how much you are willing to pay, and keep that in mind when researching companies. A forensic data recovery project, for a legal proceeding, will need different requirements than getting pictures from your niece's 1st birthday party. Generally, the more complex the data recovery, the more expensive.

Step 3: Get an Estimate
- Most companies provide a free estimate and rate quote after asking you some questions about your data recovery project. Compare several quotes to get a range of prices. If most companies say that they cannot recover your data, but one says they can, or if one company's prices are well above the others, be skeptical.
- Shop around.
- Get several estimates if time permits.
