I suspect those sorts of prices are down to this being the sort of service only a business would have been keen to use before now. But with ever-increasing GBs of data now being written as family photo albums, rather than business-critical documents, there has got to be a gap in the market for someone to offer this as a domestic service at an affordable price.
I can't believe that the actual cost of performing this sort of data recovery is anything like that quote. They must be coining it in.
Not that any of this helps in the current situation, except possibly that it might be worth phoning one of these companies, pointing out the potential domestic market to them, and then offering yourself as a willing guinea-pig.
