Hard Drive Update: ECO Fail

My external hard drive failed and I lost about 5 years of pictures.

After looking at several companies, I decided to go with the least expensive, ECO Data Recovery and after 2 weeks they called today to tell me they were unable to recovery my data. They’ll be charging me $175 for the effort.

So I called Drive Savers, the most expensive and I’ll be trying them next.

As they explained the first time I talked to them, the first recovery attempt is always the best. So my chances of a recovery are slim, but I have to give it a try.

Obviously I would NOT recommend ECO Data Recovery. Drive Savers is about 3x as expensive. I hope they prove to me why. If so, I’ll be singing their praises for years to come.
