What is your success rate?

Speculations about success rate in data recovery confuse rather than clarify the issue of quality and credibility. Competence, skills, and experience are important but far from complete list of factors for the successful result. In fact, that rate is impractical to use - same as relying on average taken temperatures in hospital where half has fever, other half dead; the joke is reminding that the differences do matter.

Categorizing recovery rates by brand or by problem gives more representative statistics, but in fact, the major factor here is data recovery case complexity caused by device damage and data corruption severity. Obviously, the outcome differs from 100% recoverable for minor issues to zero for completely destroyed / damaged hard drives beyond recoverable condition - regardless how advanced technology has the industry today.

For example, let's say some places can provide a basic (entry level) service; they accept and work with easy cases only. On the other hand, full-service data recovery companies deal with most difficult and complex projects (including absolutely hopeless sometimes). Therefore, do not jump to conclusion based just on the declared success rate when choosing the specialist.

Here in the lab, we have to cope with the badly damaged hard drives as well as the other data media on the daily basis. Every third hard drive comes in to our lab from the third party (data recovery companies, computer shops, computer technicians), meaning the drive had been attempted to be recovered unsuccessfully whether by one of the numerous data recovery companies out there, or even worse, by vulgar unprofessional intrusion of some computer technicians. As consequence, of those hardcore recovery tries the overall recovery rate for such cases is rather lower in comparison to the rest of hardware incoming for servicing. To compensate our extra time and labor efforts, the extra tampered fee will be asked to pay upfront on any open hard drive.

Generally, Data Lab 247 has achieved the leading success rate in the data recovery industry, including the most critical cases. Our success is based on more than two decades of experience focused solely on data recovery techniques. Our engineers are highly knowledgeable, skilled and equipped with the right tools and set to get the job done successfully right off the start.
