Pricing for SSD & NVMe
data recovery in Spain
Real prices by SSD type and failure. No hidden fees. No recovery, no fee. Diagnostic communicated within 24 hours of receiving your drive.
Pricing by SSD type and failure
SSD recovery cost depends mainly on whether the controller still responds and whether the drive is encrypted. Diagnostic identifies which tier applies and we quote a fixed price before any intervention.
| Failure type | Price |
|---|---|
Logical failure Data erased before TRIM executes, quick format, lost partitions. | €300 – €500 |
Controller / firmware failure SSD reporting 0 MB, safe mode, corrupt ID. Firmware diagnostic and FTL reconstruction. | €500 – €850 |
NVMe with physical damage Electrical or thermal damage on M.2. NAND chip recovery via chip-off when the PCB fails. | €850 – €1,400 |
Chip-off / NAND extraction Controlled chip NAND desoldering, direct read with programmer and FTL reconstruction. | €850 – €2,200 |
Encrypted SSD (BitLocker, OPAL, Apple) Requires the owner's recovery key. Without the key the data is mathematically inaccessible. | €850 – €1,400 |
Enterprise server SSD / NVMe U.2, U.3 or enterprise NVMe on Dell, HP, Lenovo servers. High density, higher complexity. | €1,200 – €2,200 |
* Prices include diagnostic, recovery, secure data transfer to a new drive and return shipping (MRW with insurance). VAT not included. Express service (3–5 days) +50%.
No recovery, no fee
If we don't recover your data after the agreed intervention, you don't pay the recovery fee.
Fixed quote
After diagnostic we send a fixed price. Never billed without your prior written approval.
NAND chip-off capability
We extract BGA NAND, read it on hardware and reconstruct FTL — the right tool when the controller is dead.
Why does SSD pricing vary?
A logical recovery on a working SSD needs hours of software work. A chip-off on an encrypted NVMe with damaged controller needs a hardware reader, donor controller and a manual FTL reconstruction that can take 20+ hours.
Anyone quoting a single 'SSD price' is either overcharging logical cases or undercharging — and abandoning — chip-off ones.
Cost factors
- • Controller status (responds / dead)
- • Hardware encryption (BitLocker, OPAL, Apple)
- • Chip-off needed (BGA NAND extraction)
- • FTL reconstruction complexity
- • Express turnaround (3–5 days)
Pricing questions
How much does SSD data recovery cost in Spain?+
Between €200 and €2,000 depending on failure type. A logical recovery (format, deleted partition) starts at €200. NAND chip-off on an encrypted enterprise SSD can reach €2,000. Final price always communicated after diagnostic — never billed without your prior approval.
Why is NVMe recovery more expensive than SATA SSD?+
NVMe drives use proprietary controllers with their own firmware and TRIM behavior. When the controller fails, recovery requires either firmware-level intervention or a chip-off where the NAND is read on hardware and the FTL (translation tables) reconstructed manually.
Can you recover data from a Samsung 980/990, WD SN850 or similar consumer NVMe?+
Yes. We work with Samsung Phoenix/Pascal/Elpis controllers, WD/SanDisk, Crucial, Kingston and most consumer NVMe families. Encrypted drives require additional work but are recoverable when the original controller is intact.
What about TRIM? Does it make recovery impossible?+
TRIM aggressively wipes deleted blocks, but it doesn't run during a power-off, BIOS-not-detected or controller failure. If the drive failed before TRIM completed, data is recoverable. Logical recovery on a working drive after TRIM is much harder.
Is the diagnostic free?+
Diagnostic is free if you accept the recovery quote. If you decline, a flat €45 fee covers diagnostic time and return shipping. No surprises.
Do you handle BitLocker-encrypted SSDs?+
Yes. We handle both BitLocker (eDrive/OPAL) and software BitLocker. With the recovery key or password, recovery proceeds normally. Without keys, recovery is only viable in narrow scenarios — we'll be honest about feasibility before charging anything.
