Why do you need data recovery?

---

Oh my god, this is the first words you will shout out after knowing that your data were gone because you can not access your hard drive or view any of the file because of a virus.

When you are not an IT pro, you will confuse and look for help or hire someone to retrieve your data. There are multiple condition when we are talking about data recovery.

How heavy is your data damage?

The severity of data damage is seen from the cause of loss of data and the device itself. The lightest is that if your hard disk can still be read or detected by a computer, then you may be relieved a little because calling data with this device has an average of 80-90% success rate.

If your hard drive is infected with a virus, and your data is all gone, then what will be done is to check whether the virus is causing loss of data. Most viruses that delete data do not actually delete data, but only hide your data. Unless your computer is affected by "ransomware", it will be a little difficult to do recovery.

The heaviest level is if your hard drive is damaged and cannot be read by a computer. You need a company with a sophisticated machine to recall your data and get ready to spend more in your pocket because the cost with this condition is very expensive. The minimum cost is 2-3 times the price of your hard drive or it could even be tens of times when your hard disk damage is very heavy.

Is it advisable to pay someone else to do your data recovery ?

Back again to the beginning of the story of how you lost your data. If your data is very important, make sure you take your hard drive to another place that has been tested and can guarantee the security of your data.

Most people will back down after hearing the data recovery costs. This is because the data recovery calculation is the size of the hard drive and not how big your data is. Why is that? because so far, every data call by experts is to directly use the software that is owned and search for data that is in your hard disk as a whole because no one knows your data is in the starting position, middle or end of the large capacity of your hard disk. For example, your hard drive has 80GB kasitas, then the software will scan your hard drive from the beginning of sector 0 to the end of the sector and search for data / files that exist. Do not rule out the possibility, old data that you have discarded will be called back because of this process.
