From the recent discussion about data recovery from
hard drives,
was there a recommendation for a company that performs well at
fair prices? I'd like to keep a company in mind for recommending
to clients when they're in dire straits.
I looked around on the web for resources regarding data recovery,
and by far most of the words out there are related to sales pitches
for the companies offering the service. I don't think I found any
less-potentially-biased info from amateurs.
Safe for amateurs like us:
If the drive is working, data recovery tools like http://www.r-tt.com/
Software-based tools like SpinRite www.grc.com
Logic-board swapping between identical models of HD
Not safe or smart for amateurs:
Platter swapping
