Drive Recovery: Recommendations
-
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 GBAnything 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.

@scottalanmiller
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. -

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".

Ouch that is pricy.

They are stuck in the past.

Like..... the 90s?
In tech, that's ancient!

@Dashrender I mean are we really suggesting that they are stuck in the 90s rather than ripping him off?

Sadly - Yes. It's probably a combination. But they haven't looked at updating their process. They are an HD recovery factory. They want to deal with HDs.
Also, it's probably pretty rare for someone to only have 8 GB of data they want/need recovered. While as long as it's less than 128 GB, they could still go with a memory stick pretty easily, I'm sure they don't want to maintain multiple stocked devices.
