This is why people should learn to use RAID 1.

just back your data up i have the same data on 2 PCs and a external hard drive when one fails copy the data to the replacement. done and dusted never rely on one hard drive lasting forever! i back my stuff up every month to all 3 of my devices so no worrying about new stuff being lost. ull never need a place like this taking your money for simple recovery's again

@SaucyBegger25 I clone the backup on 3 drives store them in 3 locations inside the house :)

it would be nice if we could see how they do it.

this doesn't address the concern of how to recover data from a burnt hard drive. FUUUUUCK

[1990banks]

could people recover their data themselves I've got a broken ext hdd but don't want to use a recovery service because I'm worried about them making copies of my data

[cbldata]

@1990banks DIY solution would be to try some Data Recovery Software like CBL Pro-V. Free download on our site. You can try it on your external first to see how it goes. If you choose a reputable name in data recovery like CBL, your privacy is protected and recovery is performed in a secure facility.

@1990banks It depends on what's wrong - as it's external, the caddy or its power supply could be faulty and swapping the drive to a new caddy could work. If it's the electronics, then buying an identical second hand model and swapping the board could work, but if it's mechanical then you will have to either scrap the drive, or send it off to a recovery expert - running the drive any longer yourself will only lessen the chances of getting any data back off of it.

Is this some 1990's stuff

This shouldn't be necessary, in 6 months i have now had 5 (FIVE) brand new 1.5 TB drives that died. technology should go onwards but i seems to get stop here.

I have very old drives with the funny capacity of 264 MB they have been in my shed for years cold/heat/moisture and those work even today !

whats up with the 1.5TB drives? (1 TB works fine) had 3 seagates and now 2 WD's all under warranty, but its a HUGE inconvenient thing!

I know that after a hard drive was in fire, it can get recovered. I guess Internet backup is better.

One wonders how much money was paid to the TV station to plug in this commercial? It's very misleading.
