So what is wrong with cheap data recovery? Many people think (perhaps not unreasonably if you’re not an expert in hard drive recovery) that they will try the cheap service first and if they don’t get the results they were hoping for then they will bite the bullet and pay for professional dedicated data retrieval company to get their data back for them.
Unfortunately the flaw in this thinking is that by the time they get to stage two (sending the data to a professional data recovery service) the hard drive will have been so badly hammered by the cheap data recovery service that there is a strong likelihood that even the professionals will not be able to recover their data for them.
In essence if your data is not critical then by all means approach a cheap data recovery service, if you’re lucky and your problems are just purely down to file system corruption rather than physical failure, then you may get your data back for this price. However it is endangering your data and should that information be critical then don’t even countenance the possibility, approach a professional dedicated data retrieval company before you do anything else.
