But wow, that's expensive... $144.95 for recovery of 10gb. I've never had to do that but is that reasonable?
That's insanely *cheap* for data recovery...places like Drive Savers charge $750-$1500...
Ya. I doubt the $144 includes a clean room or remount charge.
IOW, for that fee, they plug the drive in, stream the raw sectors off into a virtual disk, then use their own recovery utilities. They don't actually crack the HDA, clean and remount the platters in a new spindle, then stream the data off, etc. :)
FWIW, years ago in a company long since bought out, we had a recovery like this done. We spent over a million dollars in mainframe CPU time to generate some data. The $50,000 for recovering the 512 MB was a great deal...
