It looks like one of my hard drives doesn't spin up anymore. I've tried difference cables, difference computers and not even a spin up, not detected by bios. Freezer trick didn't work. I can live without the stuff on there, but it would suck since it has all of my history of photos taken, scans of tax/important documents as well as images/records of all my computer software. I still have the hard copies of the important docs and even the software isn't as big of a deal, but the photos aren't as replaceable.

Yea, I know, if it was important, I'd have backups. I did, but I can't find that hard drive (I use a thermaltake dock and another internal drive) and I can either hopefully find it later, or the fucker that broke into my house a few months ago decided to fuck me over doubly by taking that drive.

So, anyone have any luck with a data recovery service? After some googling, I see some that offer free estimates but would like at least a reputable place since it has personal information on there.

No offense meant, but if your data were important you wouldn't put drive into freezer. So i'm guessing data is not so important, or they are, and you took the advise of a dr pro expert who said that the freezer would revive your drive.

To answer your question, though, there are DR companies who offer free estimates, but i'd pick someone reputable from this forum (like jono-ats or drc).

If you need someone from this forum to assist you with determining what's wrong with your drive, you need to give more info, model, make, symptoms etc.
