Has anyone ever used a HDD data recovery service?
I have here a 1.5TB WD from an enclosed external case that took a desk-height drop and makes a horrendous metal on metal grinding noise now, that I would like to have recovered. I tried everything I knew and googled to salvage it, but no dice. Though I received the drive and it shows signs someone opened it already to try to fix it.
Has anyone used a service like this? How much did it run you for a simple HDD recovery? The place im talking with wont give anything over the phone until I send the drive to them, which id have to deliver in person and its a 1.5hr drive each way to their closest office.
