Notice that the HDD in the freezer and Spinrite gets slammed?

Also, a big reveal on how much it costs for the recovery gear.
Enjoy!

This company has been around for so long, how can you not know them?
I often note this company since consultation is still free. Use this link to skip to that part:

If you watch the entire video when you see how much recovery costs, you are reminded over and over than a 99 buck backup drive is always cheaper. CNET Moderators have this to say about that:
"You only lose what you don't backup."

IT may cost us SDD recovery

$100 – $300 plus the cost of time
The cost to perform data recovery yourself includes the price of software and possible additional hard drives, but you should also consider the value of the time it will take you to do research and perform the work yourself.
