SCSI HD failure--seeking data recovery service in Seattle, WA orsurrounding area

[D. K. Kraft]

After six years of service, my Quantum Atlas IV Ultra2 Wide SCSI drive has
suffered what appears to be either a motor failure or spindle freeze--the
controller card recognizes it, and it seems to be receiving power, but it's
listed as "connected but not ready" when attempting to boot up.

I'm trying to find a fairly local data recovery service, either in the Seattle,
Everett, or Bothell area, so that I can transport my drive there rather than
adding the variable of shipping into the mix. I'm doing the usual
search-by-Google, but I'd appreciate any recommendations for a reliable local
service.


Thanks in advance --

Hey D.K., I went throught the same process in my area and found that
limiting myself to my area meant going with outrageously priced
services. I eventually fedexed my drive (with another black one) to
Nationwide Data Recovery in Miami. They'll ghost your drive contents
over to a new drive for $100-$500 depending on severity of the problem
(with no charge is data is not recovered). The extra $40 in shipping
was not significant since the prices in my area start in the thousands.
