|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Hard Drive Data Recovery Brian Westerholt, Photographer Kannapolis | NC | USA | Posted: 8:31 PM on 03.04.10 ->> Does anyone have any experience with a reputable company in having data recovered from a hard drive? I have a Western Digital 500GB external hard drive that I need to have the data recovered from. I sent it to one company, who had it for months and could not get the "parts" needed to "fix" the drive, and I need to have the data recovered (I had not backed it up elsewhere - I have since purchased a DROBO for data back-up). Feel free to e-mail me directly at brianw@sportsonfilm.com Thanks!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Here is a link to their website. http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Pricing can vary greatly depending on type of failure etc. Luckly for me it was the drive motor that went out so they could steal parts from one of the other identical drives in the array to recover the data off the bad drive. Recovery is not cheap though... mine ran around $1300. It am guessing it cost more than a standard drive since it was a RAID. Hope this helps. http://www.datarecoverysystems.com Good Luck -Greg  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Steven E.

Easy to use, and simple. Just follow the instructions. I had to recover because I had formatted the drive accidentally  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
