Data Recovery Chance Estimator

What happened to your data?
How it works
This estimator uses a transparent decision matrix based on the well-understood mechanics of each loss type (deleted, formatted, corrupted, physical) and the storage medium. The probability score reflects how recoverable your specific combination of factors typically is — directional guidance, not a guarantee.
Deletion, format, physical — each has a measured baseline recovery rate from our bench.
HDD, SSD (TRIM), SD and RAID have different recovery physics. SSD scores drop significantly.
Every write after data loss can permanently overwrite recoverable sectors. Time matters.
What to do right now
- 1
Stop writing anything to the affected drive immediately — every new write can permanently overwrite your files.
- 2
Do not install recovery software onto the affected drive itself.
- 3
If the drive is making unusual clicking or grinding sounds, power it off immediately and contact a lab.
- 4
Work from a disk image (clone) whenever possible, not directly on the original.
