I did not land on this process on accident. I tried many methods and over the years, I found that this slow and steady scraping has given me consistent results.
For me, it does not matter if there is a faster way or if any individual tech can do it faster than me.
Which leads to the second point. The reason I charge the price that I do is because I have proven to be one of the only techs in the country that can reliably and consistently diagnose this issue and pull data from a device that has this problem; the RAM short.
The most advanced labs in the country, who outsource to the best techs in the country, who still charge more than I do, still have trouble with this procedure.
Just last month, I had a different RAM short that "Secure Data Recovery" failed to recover data from. They outsource to good techs. After, that customer reached out to one of the most famous labs in the country who referred the customer to me. After all of this run-around, I was the tech who managed to reunite that customer with her data.
And these are the reasons why my price is justified. If I can offer a service that a customer has trouble finding anywhere else, then the customer is happy to have found me.
