Common questions

Data recovery Perth FAQs

The questions we hear most when someone's just realised their data is gone.

How much does data recovery in Perth cost?

Data recovery pricing depends entirely on the device and the type of failure — a logically deleted file is very different from a hard drive with crashed heads. We charge an $85 inspection fee to assess the drive, then give you a written quote before any recovery work begins. You'll always know the price before we proceed.

Can you recover data from a hard drive that's clicking?

Often yes — but a clicking hard drive needs you to stop using it immediately. Clicking usually means the read/write heads have failed and are contacting the platters. Every power-on causes more damage. Power it off, bring it to our Perth lab, and we'll assess whether the heads can be replaced and the data recovered.

What should I do the moment I realise data is lost?

Stop using the device. Don't reinstall the operating system, don't run recovery software repeatedly, don't keep power-cycling a failing drive, and don't let a wet drive sit and corrode. Every one of those reduces the odds. Power it down and contact our Perth data recovery team — the sooner the better.

Do you recover data from SSDs and NVMe drives?

Yes. SSDs fail differently to mechanical drives — controller failures, firmware corruption and worn NAND cells. Recovery is more specialised but very possible. Bring your SSD or NVMe drive to our Perth lab for assessment.

Don't power it on again. Let's recover it properly.

The sooner you stop using a failing device, the better your recovery odds. Talk to a real Perth data recovery specialist today.
