Help: Reputable Data Recovery Services?

Aug 16, 2010 1:01AM PDT

Hello everyone.

I am looking for reputable data recovery services. My hard drive no longer operates as it should and since I consider the data on it valuable to recover, I am looking for a service or company who can recover it for a decent price but also at quality service.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I am hoping to keep the cost below $500.00. If you have paid any service to retrieve your data, please tell me who you used, how much it cost, and how good the service was.

My hard drive does not have an outer casing anymore, so I want to make sure the service I choose will treat it carefully and not throw it around in order to charge me more because recovery was "difficult."

Thank you for your help in advance.
