Frequently asked questions
Can you recover data from a crashed hard drive?
Yes. Houston Computer Repair Experts recovers data from mechanically failed drives, including clicking, grinding, and non-spinning drives. We evaluate the drive for free and give you a firm quote. Our recovery rate on logical failures (deleted files, formatted drives) exceeds 95%. Physical failures depend on severity — head crashes and platter damage have lower but still viable recovery rates. If we can't recover your data, you don't pay.
How much does data recovery cost in Houston?
Data recovery at Houston Computer Repair Experts starts at $99 for logical recoveries like deleted files and formatted drives. Physical drive recoveries (clicking, grinding, non-spinning) typically range from $199-$499 depending on severity. Every recovery includes a free evaluation — you get the exact price before we start. No recovery, no charge.
How long does data recovery take?
Logical recoveries — deleted files, formatted drives, corrupted partitions — are typically completed within 24-48 hours. Physical drive failures may take 3-7 business days depending on the severity of the mechanical damage and the imaging time required. We provide status updates throughout the process and will call as soon as your data is ready.
Can you recover data from a formatted hard drive?
Yes. Formatting a drive doesn't immediately destroy the data — it marks the space as available but the actual files remain on the disk until overwritten. The sooner you bring in the drive after formatting, the higher the recovery rate. Stop using the drive immediately and bring it to Houston Computer Repair Experts. We recover formatted HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, and SD cards.
Can you recover data from an SSD?
SSD recovery is more complex than traditional hard drive recovery due to TRIM commands and wear leveling, but recovery is often still possible — especially if the drive failed rather than being wiped. Houston Computer Repair Experts has the tools to handle NVMe and SATA SSD recovery. Bring the drive in for a free evaluation and we'll tell you what's recoverable.
What if my hard drive is making a clicking noise?
A clicking hard drive indicates a physical failure — usually the read/write heads impacting the platters or failing to calibrate. Stop using the drive immediately. Do not attempt to run recovery software on a clicking drive — this can cause further damage and reduce recovery chances. Bring it to Houston Computer Repair Experts for a free evaluation. Physical recoveries start at $199.
Do you recover data from RAID arrays?
Yes. Houston Computer Repair Experts recovers data from RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays. Whether a single drive failed or the entire array is degraded, we can rebuild the array structure and extract your data. RAID recovery is priced based on the number of drives and complexity of the configuration. Bring in all drives from the array for evaluation.
