Why Pricing Transparency Matters
When a lab will not tell you the price until they have your drive, they can set the price based on how desperate you are rather than the actual complexity of the work. Our published tiers are based on the technical difficulty of the recovery, not your willingness to pay.
A simple data copy from a functioning SSD costs $200. File system repair starts at $250. Board-level micro-soldering for dead controllers runs $600 to $900. Firmware reconstruction is $900 to $1,200. NAND chip transplants top out at $1,200 to $1,500. Every case starts with a free evaluation and a firm quote before paid work begins. If we recover nothing, you pay nothing.
