Pretty entertaining read. Given the intro that "... in each case
cited, Ontrack actually recovered the data", this case stood out in
my mind:
"4. Drilling for Data – During a multi-drive RAID recovery, engineers
discovered one drive belonging in the set was missing. The customer
found the missing drive in a dumpster, but in compliance with company
policy for disposing of old drives, it had a hole drilled through it."
So, what's the hole for?

The hole makes it impossible for the off-the-street person to spin up
the drive by simply plugging in an IDE cable and power source. Balance
and air pressure is critical as the heads are literally nanometers from
the disks. It will physically crash.
