I looked into having the data retrieved from my failed Western Digital
drive. $3500 was the best price I could find. Of course I didn't do it.

It's often the case that a drive failure is a symptom of something
else being wrong rather than the problem itself. As I've been told it
by repair techs, the major reason for drive and controller failure is
poor power stability. Most of the less expensive computers on the
market have marginal quality voltage supplies and voltage regulation
which is somewhat suspect, thus many drive failures.
At the end of the day, if you have a drive failure, the data can be
recovered if you are willing to spend a few dollars, even if the
drive has been formatted and a new file system put on it.
I am not espousing this as solution for a good achiving system
just a last resort.
Kind regards
