Apple Mac Data Recovery Pricing Guide
At Data Retrieval, we’re committed to offering fair, transparent, and affordable pricing for all Apple Mac data recovery services. Every recovery case is different—ranging from simple software-related data loss to severe physical damage—which is why we carry out a detailed diagnostic before providing a fixed quote.
Our technicians use industry-leading tools, including PC-3000 diagnostics and advanced data imaging software, to evaluate the condition of your Apple Mac SSD, Fusion Drive, or hard drive. Based on thousands of successful cases, we assess the complexity, failure type, and amount of recoverable data to determine the right recovery path.
No Data – No Charge: If we cannot recover the data that matters to you, there is absolutely no fee.
Three-Tier Apple Mac Data Recovery Pricing Structure
Tier 1 – Basic Logical Data Recovery
Ideal for straightforward, non-hardware related data loss where recovery is possible without disassembling the drive.
- Accidental file or folder deletion
- Formatted or erased partitions
- macOS failure due to corrupted system files
- Drives that mount but show missing or corrupted data
Applies to: MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini, external USB and Time Machine backup drives
Tier 2 – Intermediate Logical/Physical Recovery
For more challenging cases where firmware or micro-level issues prevent data access. May include repairs to internal drive logic or controller chips without replacing mechanical components.
- Firmware or controller failure
- Drives that freeze or do not fully initialize
- Corrupted APFS file systems or partition tables
- SSDs with non-mechanical faults, including USB-C or Thunderbolt connectivity issues
Applies to: T2 and Apple Silicon models (M1, M2, M3 Macs), encrypted SSDs, Fusion Drives, and NVMe storage
Tier 3 – Advanced Physical & Cleanroom Recovery
This tier covers severe mechanical or electrical damage requiring internal component replacement, cleanroom access, and high-precision equipment.
- Clicking, buzzing, or dead hard drives
- Water or fire-damaged MacBooks
- SSD NAND or controller chip failure
- Faulty logic boards, USB ports, or PCB circuitry
Repairs in this tier are conducted in our certified cleanroom using donor drives and advanced BGA soldering tools.
Note: Pricing includes the cost of donor parts or replacement components where necessary.
