Dead HDD data recovery services in Singapore

Post by Jedi » 19th Mar, '08, 10:35

Can anyone recommend a data recover service in Singapore for a failed HDD?

We've had a quote in Australia from one company - they said the following:
Multiple read errors located throughout the platter surface(s).
Damage to the spindle motor assembly.

So the drive is pretty messed up. Just want to see whether it's any cheaper to get it done here, say from someone in Simlim Sq.

Seagate offer DR services on their drives. Not sure what they charge though.
So…if you wish to wish a wish, you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.

Don't know if they even exist anymore, but they did a drive for me about 6 years ago.

The only guys I know that are even close are really forensic specialists so corporate/government only - and they are pretty pricey...

There's one I used somewhere in Changi. Will dig up the contact details. In the region of 5k for me, but that's not a standard. Really depends on how hard it is to recover your data, as you prolly know.

I used them but would not recommend them unless as a last option.

Thanks all.. the Ozzie mob are quoting about $2.5k AUD. So just seeing if I can get a better price in Singapore. Unfortunately it's not a Seagate drive, so that rules that option out.
