SD/MicroSD/CF Recovery
$300 Data Recovery charges a flat $300 to recover an SD, microSD, CF or CFast card 1TB or smaller, which covers nearly every memory card made. If the card needs monolith or chip-off recovery, where we read the NAND directly, the price is $500 per chip. There is no charge if we can’t recover your data.
We Can Recover Your Failed SD, MicroSD, or CF/CFast card!
Using the most advanced data recovery tools, we recover your failed SD/MicroSD/CF device using special reading modes and interfaces. If these reading methods and interfaces fail, we can retrieve your data using chip-off recovery.

How much does microSD card data recovery cost?
MicroSD cards are monolithic, meaning the controller and NAND are sealed into a single package with no accessible contacts. That makes them harder than a standard card, but $300 Data Recovery prices them the same: $300 for cards 1TB or smaller. If the card can’t be read through its own controller (read: by normal data recovery methods), chip-off recovery is $500 per chip.
In plain terms: $300 Data Recovery charges $300 to recover a memory card 1TB or smaller. That covers essentially every consumer card. Cards larger than 1TB follow the same capacity tiers as hard drives: $500 from 1TB to 6TB.
How much does SD card data recovery cost?
$300 Data Recovery charges $300 to recover an SD card 1TB or smaller, including SDHC and SDXC. Bent, cracked and snapped cards, broken write-protect switches, controller failures, formatted cards and deleted photos are all the same price. If the card can’t be read through its own controller and needs chip-off recovery, that’s $500 per chip.
How much does CF and CFast card data recovery cost?
$300 Data Recovery charges $300 to recover a CF, CFast, CFexpress or XQD card 1TB or smaller. Bent pins, controller failures, formatted cards and deleted files are all covered at that price. If the card needs chip-off recovery, that’s $500 per chip.
The only way to know how many NAND chips are inside your CF/CFast device is to remove the plastic housing (we do not recommend trying this at home; we’ll remove the housing if we determine chip-off recovery is necessary). If your CF/CFast device requires chip-off recovery, we’ll let you know the number of NAND chips, and get your approval for the new pricing before continuing your recovery.

How does chip-off recovery pricing work for MicroSD, SD Cards, USB Flash Drives, CF, Cfast, and CFexpress device?
- We charge $500 (per chip) we can recover at least 50% of your data.
- If we recover less than 50% of your data, you can decline our recovery for a $100 per chip labor fee. Or, you can proceed with the recovery for $500 per chip.
- If no data is recovered, there is no charge.
To begin a chip-off recovery, we charge a $250 deposit.
For EMMC chips, no deposit is required and the “successful” threshold is 99% of the data, not 50%.
What tools do we use for SD, MicroSD, and CF/CFast data recovery?
This includes Ace Lab’s PC-3000 Flash, Rusolut’s VNR, Z3X EasyJTAG, and Flash Extractor. We also have many Multi-com adapters for MicroSD cards, which enable us to recover data quicker than companies that manually solder leads to interface with MicroSD cards.
