Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I bring in a camera card for data recovery?
We inspect the card and run a diagnostic. You receive a quote and information about the likelihood of success before we begin. If you accept the offer, we start the data recovery immediately.
How much does memory card data recovery cost?
The price depends on the type of failure and how much work is needed. We always provide a quote after inspection. A fixed offer is given after diagnostics so you know exactly what you are committing to.
How do I receive my data?
Data is delivered on a new USB drive or you can retrieve it electronically. We send you a list of all recovered data before you collect it.
How long does data recovery take?
The time depends on how complex the failure is. Simple projects often take 1–3 business days, while more complex projects may take longer.
What do our customers say?
We are proud of our outstanding service and results
I received very good service. The intake process is simple and smooth. The service is carried out quickly and safely. In my case it was a difficult project but I got all my data back.
Þorgeir Arnórsson
Short and sweet.. Came in with a broken drive but after a lot of work by Datatech everything could be saved from the drive and transferred to this 'itty bitty' drive from them. A dream and everyone is happy to finally see everything again.
Leifur Reynir Björnsson
I received exemplary service. My personal computer data was, for good reason, mostly stored on one drive, which suddenly became unreadable. After a fault analysis I was referred to Datatech. There the data was recovered 100%. All communication was as good as it could be.
Bjarni Frímann Karlsson
Really fast and professional service. Recovered my data 100% and was always available to answer any questions. Highly recommend.
Helga Lilja Magnúsdóttir
The Apple workshop couldn't do anything for me and referred me to Datatech but promised nothing. I wasn't optimistic but decided to try. It took time but succeeded and the cost estimate was honoured. I can give them the best possible recommendation.
