Data recovery services?

in Genius Bar edited January 2014
Just wanted to check in to see what I can expect for data recovery from a broken external. (Was dropped and now makes a chime sound followed by a grinding noise). The kicker is it's not my HD!



I realize this won't be cheap, but wanted to know which service is the best. What should I expect to pay? It looks like there was about 65 GB worth of files on it.



Any help will be appreciated!

    You can try and get a quote from these guys:

    No payment unless the drive is fully recovered.

    That's cool! I've been collecting bids since I started the thread and it's looking like anywhere from $500-$2,700! These companies have quite the racket going. I think about $2,700 -- that's a top-of-the-line maxed-out iMac!!



    Oh well, I'll check out DTI and see what they charge too.



    Appreciate your help Marvin...
