Deleted files, UFS explorer does a good job.

larossmann so do you use UFS explorer for data recovery from Macbook HD's and SSD's?
Also, on their website they have different packages(pro recovery, raid recovery, standard recovery, etc.) for windows, mac, and linux. Which one do you use?
Last question, let's say you have a customer whose macbook is dead and not fixable but they want the data from their ssd. What would be a reasonable price them to get their data from it if the ssd works fine?

Depends.
Is the ssd even broken?
No? Offer caddy for €50/€90 and leaving the MacBook at your place for the recycle program
Alot of times you can acces the hdd/ssd When your not booting from it

For logical recovery (deleted files / damaged catalog) i use Disk Drill (http://www.cleverfiles.com) and data rescue 4. (http://prosofteng.com) - I find Disk drill better at reading corrupt catalogs but Data rescue sometimes finds better files when carving for files. I'll normally run both and compare the results. OWC (http://macsales.com) make a good range of USB enclosures for the MBA / Retina SSD's (some are expensive but i've not found others anywhere (I'm in the UK) . One thing to note, apple branded SSD's use trim - as such recovering deleted files is pretty much impossible as the sectors are wiped almost instantly.
$100 for data is decent if the drive is in fine condition. UFS stands for "u find shit" here, it is not for data recovery, just makes copying files easier since it doesn't get hung up or have any annoying permissions issues. i use ddrescue for real data recovery

larossmann Loaded questions
When you say data recovery do you mean for deleted files? I want to test how well this works. Can I delete some files off of my hard drive and see if it can find and recover them?
I also saw one of your videos where you talk about recovering files from dying hard drives. Do you have something to link me to how that is done since there is a lot of junk on google about it?
Is that still a viable service since ssd's are becoming affordable now?
