Hard Disk Recovery Equipment

[TechYa]

Hi Guys,

We are a rather large company and having frequent physical failures with our laptops/desktop hard disks...

We are currently using a 3rd party to recover data and was thinking of buying some Electronic Hard Disk Recovery Equipment.

Could anyone recommend something ?

Thanks

Lyndon

Hi Santei,

Im looking for Hardware recovery media...for laptop / pc disks that crash and fail to boot up / not detectable by the pc / operating system.

I use Ontrack Easy Recovery for hard disks that boot up and are detectable but have I/O errors..

i guess this is what u should be looking for.

Lyndon,

You should look into PC-3000 for recovering "dead" hard drives. it allows you to get the drive operable so that the data can be recovered.

Thats exactly what Im looking at !

Its rather pricey which is expected...do you have any experience with PC-3000 ?

What is the success rate ?

We have a lot of experience with it and with data recovery. Success rates can vary between hard drive manufacturers and familys of drives. If the failure is firmware, which is often the case, the chances of a recovery are good.
