Title: Hard Disk Recovery
Post by: Dracho on August 08, 2005, 10:18:38 pm

I'm going to give this company a recommendation because I am very pleased with them (I am in no way affiliated with them).

A while back, I had a hard drive die and it turns out my back-ups were no good (always verify!).  This disk contained some original business marketing material as well as 8 years worth of irreplaceable digital pictures. 

I'd been delaying trying to have the drive recovered because it costs nearly $1500.  Then I found the people at:

http://www.nationwidedatarecovery.com/

They did a Level 2 recovery (clean room platter recovery) for $400.  That included DVDs and 2 day air for the data.  If you find yourself in the position I was in, give them a try.

My drive had a bad actuator.

Would it have cost more if they actually had to mess with the coating on the platter?

Nope.. $50 if they don't have to open the case, $400 if they do.
