Data recovery is the process of retrieving information (‘data’) that is no longer accessible from devices such as computer hard drives or smartphones that are unresponsive or no longer work properly.
There are many reasons for data recovery, typically a hard drive or phone may have been dropped, resulting in serious damage that prevents access to the data on the device.
The cost of data recovery depends significantly on what’s actually wrong with the device. Some problems are easier to deal with than others. As a rule of thumb, smartphone data recovery services cost between £195 and £295, whilst hard drive problems usually cost between £350 and £600 (but can be more in certain cases). Below are real queries submitted to the Data Clinic web site. In all these cases, the prices above are applicable.
WD 1Tb External hard drive became quite full – Used as general manual back up and also to store photos and videos whilst travelling. Hard drive carried during multi year trip in bag, tightly packed, maybe knocked etc. Light comes on, whirrs, clicks then whirrs. Also potential issue with format regarding plugging into mac/pc.

My Samsung external hard drive is unreadable. Can you give me a price quote for the date recovery?
I have a WD My Passport for Mac, last week I went to Rome where I used the external hard drive to backup all of my pictures from my DSLR.
The HDD is still under warranty as it’s basically brand new, I would never have expected for this to happen.
When I have returned from my holiday my HDD has failed and I’ve lost all of my pictures. The HDD makes a ticking noise and it is not detectable by my Mac.
Is it fixable? If so how much would this cost?
My Seagate Expansion Hard Drive hit on the floor and stop working.
