Hard drive data recovery service recommendations. Updated 5 / 29 [hard drive data recovery] [hard drive data recovery service]
Q: I had my favorite drive fail on me the other day Ive been looking and calling around a number of different places to make disk data recovery. Ive had customers send Ontrack drives with good success. I spoke with representatives of Drivesavers.com, and like their pricing a bit better. I also have a study with a place called Dataleach.com.
Im looking for useful suggestions to me directly to a useful place or places avoid.
Thanks
Re:i got a hard drive that can be detected in the bios set-up screen, but after I save it, it doesn't show up during the bios run. Also, the OS can't detect it either and it has an ! mark on the secondary controller that it is connected to.
Any idea on how to recover it or is it a gonner.
Re:mmm.. ontrack is very VERY good though. i used that to do data recovery at my new job. it seemed money was nothing to the data that was on these drives that the lan admin didn't feel it necessary to do any type of backups with. it grabbed all the data needed from exchange, user files, everything from a failed harddrive running dynamic disks.
Re:DAMN!!! I was way off. I hope you had the winning lotto numbers for next week on that drive.
Re:Price quotes:
Drivesavers economy service, $500-$1900
Ontrack, $700-$2300
Unfortunately, my total was not at the low end of the Drivesaver quote.
Re:I'm going to guess $450

How much was it?

Re:For those interested here is an update.
I sent the HDD to Drivesavers. They had to open it up to get the data off. I just restored the data and everything I wanted is for sure there, and it appears that the drives entire contents was recovered. The whole process was smooth enough, and they were very helpful and easy to talk to.
They get a thumbs up from me:)

Re:Ontrack is definitely the BEST of the lot, but very pricey.
I have have descent luck with their EasyRecovery Software
reclaiming data from head crashes.
Best of Luck in your recovery endeavor.
Re:The drive is a WD desktop 8.4 gig. While I want to get the data, price has some consideration. Drivesavers starts out $300 cheaper than Ontrack, and their top end is lower. Though in my mind, Ontrack is very good. To this point, Dataleach has not called back.
Re:DriveSavers is Mediocre at best.
Dataleach is unimpressive.
I recovered as much data off the drives sent to them as they did
playing around with various clients defective drives.
What type of drive is it? Laptop, Desktop, MFG, etc..
(I keep spares of old drives around for this purpose)

Though it seems to still spin up, it just makes a clunking noise and is not detected by the bios.
..Hope you are able to recover your stuffs.

Re:Could you computer still detect the drive? Otherwise you can save lots of money and get a program called R-Studio, and recover the data yourself.
