Hitachi IC35L120AVVA07 (RAID array of 4 HDD) disk

The crash occurred during the copying some data from another computer to RAID; everything froze; after rebooting nothing came up - just a clicking sound from one of RAID hard drives.

 

After recovery:

Thanks for all you did to recover our data. We deeply appreciate it and would recommend your data recovery service to anyone in need. Needless to say, we have shopped around before we decided where to get the help from and luckily found your firm and sent it to you. Not only you have the fairest prices on market but your professionalism is really off the charts. Thanks a lot again.

Quantum Fireball CX10A011 disk

Hard drive couldn't boot. Not shown in BIOS. Spinning and may have clicking. The files under 'My Documents' folder are highest value, Outlook emails, too. Please restore as much data as possible, ideally the whole disk would be a swell!

 

After recovery:

Thank You so much for recovering my data. My dark days are finally over and I can go on - keep working on my stuff. Thanks again!

Samsung SP0802N disk

I placed one working drive on top of another to get at a screw. The phone rang and I answered it about 10 minutes later I completed screwing the drives into their places. The screen was frozen. I rebooted and it never got into the OS as it said a file had been corrupted. I ran check disk and it told me that the c-drive was good. It would not complete a check disk on the d-drive as one or more files are corrupted. I had a local company come to my home as their advertisement said the do data recovery. A waste of money. The technician listened to what I said. Tried to boot it using my software and then he said the drive was not spinning. I told him that he had to be mistaken as I had successfully run chkdsk. He was not fazed. Although he pointed out a capacitor or a resistor on the drive and noted it had been damaged. It is on the left side of the drive about an inch and a half down from the bar code. He stated he could not do anything for me at that point and charged $75 for his service.

 

After recovery:

Thanks again for your help. I appreciate the items you were able to save. I will definitely recommend your services to others--have a Blessed Day.
John
