If I was running a drive recovery business=2C every
drive that came in
would be opened first in a clean room before powering on. If there
was a failure of one of the disk=2C shipping could have distributed bits
to unaffected surfaces.
I can see your point, but I am not sure I would open every drive. After
all, could you seal it up again well enough (you are not going to get
replacement gaskets...). And there is a risk of doing more damage to the
platters/heads.
But in cany case, if you are going to open up every drive, then the cost
of doing that becomes part of the 'inspection fee'. You wouldn't have an
additional 'clean room charge'/ That is my complaint about this outfit.
They have arbitrary charges that they may apply, but they won't tell you
why they're charging them. Yhey would try that with me once (at most!).
I don't think I could run it any different than
that. I'd have to charge
for that as well.
