Usually, it won’t take long. Most recoveries will be completed within 2-4 days. Upon receiving your drive, Data recovery engineers at Space Recovery will diagnose the drive and provide you the recovery chance and expected recovery time. However, the amount of time it takes to recover data will vary depending on the below factors.
Condition of the device/drive:
A drive that is fully functional is much faster to recover data from than one that is severely damaged and must be repaired. So, cases that are simply related to accidental deletion, format, viruses, etc. are generally quick on the turnaround. Usually within 24-48 hours for most cases, however there are times when it takes longer. Drives needing hardware recovery generally take about 4 to 7 days but can take longer based on other factors below.
Type of customers / Priority Service:
Business customers or expedited customers, who choose to pay a bit more for our services, receive priority service. We often work late nights, and even the occasional weekend to finish jobs for our business/expedited customers as fast as possible. We'll actually pause a job that's simply recovering someone's family photos if the equipment is needed for a expedited customer. So, if your data is urgent, make sure to mention that it's for a business or that you want priority service.
Drive Capacity:
Even if the drive is fully functional a 4TB drive will take as much as 24 hours to perform a single scan, and a typical recovery may involve several scans to effectively find all files. Also, as a professional data recovery lab, we always clone the drive first to prevent any possibility of accidents while working with the data. As a rule of thumb expect an extra day for drives larger than 500GB or a few days for drives larger than 2TB.
Functionality of Drive After Repair:
-Many makes of hard drives don't take kindly to replacement parts, and don't function anywhere near their full potential after an internal repair. As drives write magnetic data on a microscopic level, even the slightest micro variation (or micro jog) in manufacturing of parts may cause the drive to constantly have to re-read data over and over. While rare, some drives can take a month or more to extract all the data after such internal repairs.
Availability of Donor Parts:
For drives with hardware issues, parts are often needed to repair the drive to a semi-functional condition where the data can be successfully extracted. Some hard drive sub-models are very common and easy to find the parts from one of our vendors. However, others are not. At times we may even have to spend weeks searching online and calling other data recovery labs for the specific drive or parts we need. Or we may even have to buy a donor drive from overseas and wait for it to arrive. Usually this is the longest part of the whole process for hardware level recoveries.
