How long is a device stored as evidence?

In a cyber crime case, how long is a device, for instance, personal computer, laptop, or smartphone kept by the police? My uncle's important business files are on his laptop and police has taken it. My uncle is facing huge difficulty in operating his business.

If its computer/laptop you can ask for mirror imaging to be carried out for forensics and could ask for possesion of seized property.It would be difficult to explain what mirror imaging is all about but good Cyber Lawyer would do it easily.
