Data Recovery Prices for - Tablelands

Data recovery costs in Australia generally range from $150 to over $1,700 for standard hard drives, depending on the damage. Simple logical issues (deleted files) are cheaper ($200–$600), while physical damage or mechanical failures requiring cleanroom repairs often cost $880–$4,000+. We may sometimes ask you for a fee to diagnose your hard drive's fault. Due to the complexity of each drive we can only provide you an exact cost after this process.

More than a repair shop —
a long-term technology partner.

Since 2001, Nerdcore has been a trusted name in Melbourne for computer repairs, data recovery, and custom-built systems.

That experience means you’re not just getting a quick fix — you’re getting a team that understands how your technology fits together, how to prevent repeat issues, and how to keep your systems running reliably long-term.

For over two decades, Nerdcore PC Systems has operated from our head office in Hughesdale Melbourne with one clear principle: fix it properly, or don’t charge a cent.

That commitment is most evident in our data recovery work, where we use professional-grade PC-3000 tooling and back our services with a firm no-fix, no-fee guarantee. But it extends far beyond recovery.

Whether you bring in a failing hard drive, a laptop that won’t boot, or a custom gaming system built from the ground up, you’ll be dealing with technicians who treat every job as if it were their own machine on the bench — carefully, thoroughly, and with accountability at every step.

Data Recovery Price Lists 2026 Updated

How much does Data Recovery Cost?

For a typical single hard drive recovery, Nerdcore data recovery service costs between $880 to $1,760 depending on the type and size of your device, and the complexity or difficulty of recovery. These fees may increase if your device is a larger than normal capacity or if you require your data back more urgently. How ever our Data Services Representatives will discuss these options with you during the initial consultation. Prices for more complex systems such as RAIDs or Servers will depend on the specifics of the system, and the data recovery situation.

What is involved in the evaluation process?

In order to determine the cost of your data recovery our engineers perform a free 24-hour evaluation of your storage device. During this process our engineering team will examine your device to determine its condition and the likelihood of recovering your data. The following factors will be taken into consideration during the evaluation:

The type of device
The cause of data loss
Time and effort required to retrieve data
The desired timeline

At the end of the evaluation process, we’ll be able to confirm the exact cost of your recovery. Once we’ve locked in the price it will not change, giving our customers complete confidence to proceed with the recovery knowing exactly what to expect at the end of the process.
