I have two general categories each with their own prices per size ranks.I won't list my pricing but here are my ranks. I also have different rates for hard drive recovery at different drive sizes and types. Meaning if I can't recover the data in that time period then it's considered no good and must be escalated. I'd take the number 320GB and multiply it by 1.25 to get a grand total scan time of 400 Minutes which is 6 Hours and 40 Minutes in all. I take the hard drive space in gigabytes then multiply it by 1.25 to get the amount of time in minutes I will allow a scan to go by before I tell the customer that the drive must be escalated to advanced data recovery which is something I can't do but I'd just outsource it instead.įor example, say if someone has a 320GB Hard Drive. If I'm doing data recovery then it's a different story all together.

If I'm trying to see if the drive is good then I just run chkdsk- that's pretty much good enough. Nice tool, Googling it now to find more about it.
