The computer data recovery demanded thousands of prices: how much the opening price depends on the customer's expression

How much data is there on your computer's hard drive? If it is lost, is the consequence serious? Recently, the Information Times reporter received a telephone repossession from Mr. Zhang, who lives in Baiyun District of Guangzhou. He claimed that the desktop computer in his home had caused a hard disk failure due to a sudden power failure, and he could not read any data after the restart. A computer repair company said that he could help him recover the data, but the opening price was 500 yuan, and told: "If the repair is not good, the hard disk must be scrapped." In the face of high data recovery costs, and the success rate is not guaranteed, repair Still not repair? This made Mr Zhang difficult.

90% of Internet users lost only 1% of data recovery

Mr. Zhang is forty years old this year, and his wife and his wife’s wedding photos and the wedding commemorative photos taken by the studio in recent years are stored in the desktop hard drive. He told reporters: "The photos were copied from the studio and kept on the hard disk. A friend came over the weekend and wanted to open the computer for them to look at the photos. However, the computer failed after the sudden power failure."

On the day of data loss, Mr. Zhang hurriedly took the hard drive to the Digital Plaza in Tianhe Gangding to find someone to repair. He may be worried that the hard disk was damaged. Several DIY maintenance service centers were reluctant to take this job. In desperation, Mr. Zhang was in stone. West Road found a professional data recovery service center.

"It can be repaired, but the ugly words are said to be in the front. If the hard disk is not repaired, it may become obsolete and the maintenance fee is fixed at 500 yuan." Mr. Zhang, who was in a frantic mood, was caught in a dilemma. "It's too expensive! A new hard drive is only a few hundred dollars." But he found that the nearby several professional service centers, the asking price is almost the same, and even a repair point said: "If it is the opening recovery, the price is higher, At least 3,000 yuan."

Mr. Zhang told reporters that for individuals, there are not only wedding photos on the hard disk, but also videos, photos, recorded audio data, etc., such as children growing up, family traveling abroad. If data cannot be recovered, its loss is difficult to measure with money. The value of memorialization and collection is much higher than the actual economic value.

In fact, there are not a few cases similar to Mr. Zhang. According to 360 data recovery engineers, more than 90% of users have encountered data loss problems, while only 1% of users have successfully recovered valuable data. Among these, data loss caused by accidental deletion, misoperation, incorrect insertion, and forced power-off accounted for more than 86%.

Data Recovery Intensified Afterwards, the reporter visited several data recovery centers in the city of Guangzhou. Judging from the current market conditions of the industry, the price of recovery caused by soft and hard failures is very different. The data recovery price caused by the failure starts at a price of at least 200 yuan, and the maximum can reach a few thousand yuan.

At Shipai West Road, the reporter saw a "data recovery" business on the billboard of a computer repair shop. He took out a hard drive and said he wanted to recover. The in-store technician said: "If repairs aren't done well, we must first test the hard drive. If the track is damaged and Other hardware failures, the recovery cost will be a thousand dollars.” The reporter also found in unannounced visits, even if the data recovery center fails to recover data, it will also charge the customer a certain "test fee."

"Compared to individual users, corporate customers earn money. I took over a list of companies, and a damaged hard drive has all of their customer lists. If the list is lost, it will cause huge losses to the enterprise. The company stated that as long as the data is recovered, money is not a problem. This activity is not very difficult. We have earned 8,000 yuan in this single transaction.” said the sales staff of the data recovery center.

A report from the United States WestWorld is even more striking: Most companies believe that 100 trillion data worth more than 1 million US dollars.

"Data recovery is a technological activity. The initiative lies in the hands of maintenance personnel. Customers basically have no room to talk about price." Some people in the industry stated that there are quite a few data recovery companies on the market. The asking price is often determined according to the customer's facial expression. Urgency, indicating that the missing data is important, the charges are high.

Experts reminded a variety of anti-virus software with data repair capabilities in the face of data recovery company's "overwhelming price", industry experts said that today's anti-virus software companies including Jinshan network, 360, etc. have data repair business, some are completely free Provide services.

According to the 360 ​​Data Security Center, users can use some easy-to-use recovery tools to retrieve data if the files are deleted by mistake in the system partition (C drive). For example, 360 security guards built-in "file recovery" tool is one of the choices. The relevant person in charge of Kingsoft's network also stated that Kingsoft's member value-added services include data recovery services.
