Drive Recovery: Recommendations
-
Other than Ontrack and DriveSavers - Who would you suggest as a drive recovery vendor.
-
@g.jacobse Those were going to be the first two. I've seen really good comments from folks who've used these vendors in a pinch and pleased with the results.
-Be sure to add this cost to the total for why having a proper NAS would be better for future deployments.
-
There is always the "put it in the freezer" method.
-
Seagate does data recovery, but it's not cheap.

Would you admit you tried?
-
Not I. No.

I've used Lazarus. It was several thousand.

There it goes.... be a few days before I hear back I"m sure... I hope to have better news.
Thank you for the suggestions on the process. I know may have done a recovery,.. I haven't had to.
-
Good luck!

How bad is it .... really?
Your current status: Clean Room Diagnosis 10/3/2014 16:43*
The Initial Evaluation results indicate that, due to the complexity of your data loss, your hard drive requires the attention of a Clean Room Engineer. Our Clean Room Engineers will apply advanced technologies to attempt to make your hard drive readable.
It' been in the clean room since the 3rd,.. Seven business days.. Makes me a bit concerned ,.....

Maybe they are just busy and have not gotten to it yet.

Finally got the report
Good files: 18,293
Good bytes: 8.10 GB
Repairable files: 55
Repairable bytes: 9.41 MB
Partial files: 3,860
Partial bytes: 24.95 GBAnything below good is unlikely to be recovered. Just about $1500 for it and the recovery drive.
Now to see if they want to go this route.
-
$1,500 of less than 10GB of data. Ouch.
-
@scottalanmiller
Included is $99.00 for the drive they would put the data on,.. but still - I don't know how that really compares. It appears though that they may opt out of the recovery. Will have to see. -

Think it's a external hard drive

That's foolish. Costs more, has no advantage and doesn't ship as well. That's $95 of "ripping you off".
-
Ouch that is pricy.
