Paid Remote Data Recovery Assistance for ST3000DM001 7200.14

[spacecomlabs]

I am not sure if it proper for me to post this here, but I am looking to hire someone (immediately) to remotely assist (Phone, WebEx) in the recovery of multiple Seagate ST3000DM001 disks (3TB 7200.14). For security reasons I cannot ship these disks offsite to a typical data recovery lab. The goal is to return the drives to working enough condition to perform a low level copy of the entire disks (usually we do this with ddrescue on Linux).

I have a PC-3000 UDMA system, clean room, donor drives and all tools needed here in my lab for headswaps should that be necessary. Currently the drives spin up and stay spinning and output to terminal if SATA is unplugged but stay BSY. If I leave them long enough BSY will go away, they will respond to some SATA commands for a while and then stop and then stop responding again. I tried headswap on one of them and nothing changed. The defect lists do look extremely long. The one disk I opened appeared to have a normal and intact surface.

If it is not proper for me to post this here, my apologies and please point me to the proper location to post this sort of thing.

I can't help due to time difference (unless you don't mind working off the clock), but I must ask: If you have PC3K why would you use ddrescue to image the drive?

Maybe he doesn't have Data Extractor

Before I can help, it would be helpful to know how current PC3K is and if the DE add-on is there.

Yes, I would recommend you contact Luke from Recovery Force about this. He's been dealing with these DM drives quite a bit.

I'll be happy to help with remote recovery as well, please feel free to contact me if necessary.

Who would buy PC3K without DE?
It's like buying a Ferrari without the clutch.
