Hi,

My hard drive is dead and there is some data that I need to get off of it. The data recovery services are certainly going to ask for a good bit of money. Any personal experience or guidance as to which companies might be better.

To give a little more detail, the controller board got fried due to a voltage spike while the drive was spinning. I have an identical drive and did swap the contoller board and the drive started spinning, but is making the clunking sounds suggesting there is more wrong inside which needs probably opening of the drive in a clean room.

Any help or poniters shall be appreciated.

Thanks.
