Anyone have any HDD Failures to the point of needing a Data recovery service?
I've been searching around a bit and found that the prices are High...even astronomical. But I knew that fro some time. I've contacted places like Kroll - Ontrack, DriveSavers, CBL out of Canada, and Dataclinic out of the UK. So far I think my best option would be to pay $65 for Kroll - Ontrack to generate a file list of the drive. They are the only one that will do this. This way I can know whether I would even bother with the recovery process. Has anyone had work experience with respect to data recovery? Has anyone used any of these services or another service? What would you recommend?
The Drive is an old IBM Deskstar 120GB and has either the "click of death" or another known IBM Drive issue related to the NV-RAM chip on the Drive itself.
