File Savers Data Recovery has over 150 locations nationwide, so if you’re in need of data recovery services even when you’re outside Portland, they’ve got you covered.

Availing of their services is convenient, and you can call them for a cost estimate without having to visit them in person. 

They offer free diagnosis of your device to locate the cause of failure and assess damages. After this, you’ll get an email of their findings with the final price.

Their usual turnaround time is 7–14 days, but you can avail of their emergency and rush services if you need your data recovered urgently. This will come at an extra cost, of course. 

Customers have been overall satisfied with their services, and their engineers are available to answer your questions and send you updates about the progress of your device.

However, they do lean towards the more expensive side, even for the least-complicated services with minor hardware damage. They do have a good success rate, and that’s a part of what you’ll be paying for.

This is where some complaints of them being overpriced come in. A few customers complained that their rates were unreasonably higher than other services, with some services being priced over $3,000!

Hence, we encourage you to take advantage of their quick quote services to see if they’re within your budget. Should you take their free diagnosis, do know that you aren’t obligated to avail of their services afterward.

SALVAGEDATA Recovery Services has a great track record among customers, and this is mostly because of their fast service and their 24/7 emergency services for HDDs.

What we like most about them is their ISO-certified cleanrooms, which ensure that the proper methods are always used in recovering data from your device. This also gives customers an extra guarantee for the safety of their devices.

They give free evaluations for their services, but the quoted price won’t be your final price. In fact, we’ve discovered that the final amount you’ll be paying can change depending on the amount of recovered data.

You can browse their online pricing guide on their website, and their prices are based on the complexity of a case. Their prices range from $300–$1,900 and you can gauge which one yours will fall under based on the listed symptoms.

They also work on all kinds of devices, from HDDs to desktops, laptops, SD cards, and even older storage devices like tapes and floppy disks! 

However, their Portland location is merely a FedEx dropbox and not an actual service location. To go to their physical office, you’d have to go all the way to Richland in Washington.

That doesn’t mean their services are inconvenient, as you can generate a shipping label from their website, and their customer service is helpful. But if you’d prefer to have a physical location to visit, then you may want to look elsewhere.

Revenant Data prides itself as Portland’s only local data recovery lab, and that’s because their labs and cleanrooms are local to the area! Not only that, their facilities are ISO-certified.

Even if they’re just in the area, you don’t have to make a personal visit to avail of their services. You can call their 24/7 incident response hotline or set up a virtual consultation to discuss the services you require.

Their customers are impressed by their turnaround time, and they’re able to meet their promised deadlines. If you need your data recovered faster, you can opt for their rush services, which will cost you $299.

However, they don’t come cheap. They have a minimum charge of $1,500 for any case they take on, and that’s not counting the $100 nonrefundable diagnostic fee, which other businesses offer for free.

Because you’ve already paid a diagnostic fee, you may be more inclined to continue with their services even if it may be out of your budget. We encourage you to check their tier pricing online and gauge which one you’ll need.

As we’ve mentioned, they have a minimum charge of $1,500, and they only go upward from there. If you’ve only got a small device like a flash drive or an SD card, we recommend that you go elsewhere to save yourself some money.

Computer Lift offers multiple IT and computer services. Other than data recovery, they also offer virus removal, cybersecurity services, and laptop/computer repair and setup.

They’re a great pick if you require different services other than just data recovery, as this will save you multiple trips to different businesses and save you some money too.

The best thing about them is their rates. Regardless of which service you’ll get, they charge $160 by the hour, with a minimum of 30 minutes for remote support and an hour for on-site.

Customers appreciate their great customer service, especially with how thorough their technicians explain the problem and how they will go about solving it.

However, Computer Lift doesn’t specialize in data recovery services unlike other businesses, so we urge you to call them and ask if they can provide the services you need.

Their labs and cleanrooms also aren’t ISO-certified, but from our research, it seems that they take good care of their cleanrooms and only properly trained technicians work on hardware.

We are confident in recommending them to you because of their excellent customer service and great rates, but it’s important that you speak to them first and discuss the nature of your problem.

Computer Chimps is another business that offers more than just data recovery services. They don’t work with just data issues but can also repair and set up new computers.

This is advantageous if you’re in need of additional repairs if other parts of your laptop or your PC were also damaged.

That said, they don’t specialize in data recovery, and they may be unable to work on certain cases. Thus, we encourage you to take advantage of their free consultation for them to be able to assess your device.

They’re a great option if you’re looking for affordable data recovery services, because not only do they offer discounts for first-time customers, but they have a time-based labor fee.

New customers will pay $80 for the first hour and $20 for each additional fifteen minutes, whereas regular customers will pay $100 for the first hour and $25 for the fifteen-minute increments.

They don’t have a physical location, as their address is only for business and mailing purposes. This means we can’t assure you of the quality and cleanliness of their cleanrooms, despite great feedback from their past customers.

If this is something that’s important to you, we encourage you to look at other options on this list that are ISO-certified. However, we do still think they’re worth a call, even if it’s just for their free consultation.
