Re: [PLUG] HD's toast- any data recovery recommendations?

If had dying drives that would work only when either hot or cold. Also try different positioning. My general theory  is that most hard drive failures are mechanical and most of the time it is either the bearings or the motor wearing out.

Try leaving it in a warm place. Try leaving it in the freezer.

OK, I gave it a grad school try, but wasn't able to get this HD to spin up so that I could read it. Does anyone have a recommendation for a reputable, and hopefully reasonable, data recovery service?
