Hitech Computer & IT Solutions provides professional data recovery in Singapore from S$80 for logical recovery, with physical recovery from S$200 and priority/emergency service available — all backed by a strict no-data, no-fee policy. Since 2009, Hitech has recovered data from thousands of hard drives, SSDs, USB flash drives, memory cards, and RAID arrays across three branches (Kembangan, Hougang, and Bukit Timah).

Whether you have accidentally deleted important files, formatted a drive, suffered a virus attack, or experienced physical drive failure, Hitech’s experienced technicians can assess your device and advise on recovery options. Free island-wide pickup and delivery is available for all data recovery cases.

Data recovery cost in Singapore

Data recovery pricing in Singapore varies widely depending on the device and the type of failure. Most repair shops quote between S$80 and S$600, with complex cases such as RAID or severe physical damage costing more. At Hitech, you always receive a free, no-obligation assessment and a fixed quotation before any work begins — so there are no surprise charges.

DeviceLogical RecoveryPhysical RecoveryTurnaround
Hard disk drive (HDD)From S$80From S$2001–3 days (logical), 3–7 days (physical)
SSD / NVMe driveFrom S$120From S$2501–4 days
USB flash drive / SD cardFrom S$80From S$1501–2 days

Emergency / priorityFrom S$200 (same-day or next-day)Priority

Keep in mind that the single biggest factor in both success rate and cost is whether the drive keeps being used after data loss. Every hour of continued use reduces the chance of full recovery.

Our data recovery process

  1. Free assessment — Bring your storage device to any Hitech branch for a no-obligation evaluation
  2. Diagnostic scan — We determine the extent of data loss and the recovery method needed
  3. Fixed quotation — You receive a clear price before any recovery work begins
  4. Recovery — Our technicians perform the recovery using professional-grade tools
  5. Data verification — We verify all recovered files are accessible and uncorrupted
  6. Secure delivery — Your recovered data is delivered on a new drive or external storage

Stop using the drive immediately!

If you have lost important data, the most critical step is to stop using the device right away. Every read/write operation can overwrite the very files you are trying to recover. Unplug the drive and bring it to Hitech as soon as possible for the best chance of full recovery.

DIY recovery software — why we advise against it

It is tempting to download a free data recovery tool and try to fix the problem yourself. In our experience, this often makes the situation worse:

  • Overwriting risk — Free tools frequently write to the same drive they are scanning, permanently destroying recoverable files.
  • Wrong diagnosis — Software cannot fix physical damage. Running scans on a clicking or failing drive can cause further head damage.
  • Formatting traps — Some tools prompt you to format the drive first, which can wipe the very data you are trying to save.
  • False hope — Partial scans may show file names but recover corrupted versions you cannot open.

If the data is important, the safest and often cheapest path is a free professional assessment first. If it is a simple logical recovery, you may only need a quick fix — but it is worth having a professional confirm that before you risk the drive.

Frequently asked questions

How much does data recovery cost in Singapore?
Data recovery costs depend on the type of data loss. Logical recovery (accidental deletion, formatted drives) starts from S$80. Physical recovery from damaged drives starts from S$200. A free assessment confirms the exact cost before any work begins.
Can you recover data from a dead hard drive?
Yes, in most cases. If the drive’s platters are intact and the read/write head has not damaged the surface, data can often be recovered. Hitech has specialised equipment to handle physical hard drive failures.
What does “no data, no fee” mean?
It means if Hitech cannot recover your data, you pay nothing for the recovery attempt. Only the initial assessment is free. This policy reflects our confidence in our recovery capabilities.
How long does data recovery take?
Logical recovery typically takes 1–3 business days. Physical recovery from damaged drives may take 3–7 business days. Priority/emergency service is available for urgent cases.
Can you recover data from SSDs?
Yes. SSD recovery is more complex than HDD recovery due to TRIM and wear levelling, but Hitech’s technicians have the tools and experience to recover data from SSDs, NVMe drives, and USB flash drives.
Should I use data recovery software myself first?
We recommend against it. Free recovery tools often overwrite the very data you are trying to save, making professional recovery harder or impossible. Bring the drive to Hitech first for a free assessment.
Do you offer emergency data recovery?
Yes, Hitech offers priority/emergency data recovery for urgent business or personal needs. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we will arrange the fastest possible service.
