      Other than Ontrack and DriveSavers - Who would you suggest as a drive recovery vendor.

        @g.jacobse Those were going to be the first two. I've seen really good comments from folks who've used these vendors in a pinch and pleased with the results.

        -Be sure to add this cost to the total for why having a proper NAS would be better for future deployments.

          There is always the "put it in the freezer" method.

            Seagate does data recovery, but it's not cheap.

                    Thank you for the suggestions on the process. I know may have done a recovery,.. I haven't had to.

                        It' been in the clean room since the 3rd,.. Seven business days.. Makes me a bit concerned ,.....

                          Maybe they are just busy and have not gotten to it yet.

                            Finally got the report

                            Good files: 18,293
                            Good bytes: 8.10 GB
                            Repairable files: 55
                            Repairable bytes: 9.41 MB
                            Partial files: 3,860
                            Partial bytes: 24.95 GB

                            Anything below good is unlikely to be recovered. Just about $1500 for it and the recovery drive.

                            Now to see if they want to go this route.

                              $1,500 of less than 10GB of data. Ouch.

                                Included is $99.00 for the drive they would put the data on,.. but still - I don't know how that really compares. It appears though that they may opt out of the recovery. Will have to see.

                                  $99? For a $4 USB stick?

                                    Think it's a external hard drive

                                      That's foolish. Costs more, has no advantage and doesn't ship as well. That's $95 of "ripping you off".
