Need suggestion on a good store/technician who can help repair some old HDD (WD and Seagate both). A 2 TB seagate HDD containing my wedding video had crashed, unable to recover using recovery softwares.
Can some one guide me on if changing HDD head can fix it, if so, any contact for the same in and around delhi??

thanks

Such hardcore services are only provided and available at prof. data recovery centers and can cost you bombs and nukes!
If the data is so much of an importance consider visiting such centers.

Did you try Getdataback?
 
Have seen quite a lot of data recovery companies in Nehru place
It will be probably quite expensive
I have 250GB Seagate that died 6 years ago (have family photos and vids on it)
Last year before covid I showed it to 2 of the shops in Nehru Place they quoted me a whooping 12-15K , didn't had that much of a budget to get it done.
When I realized how expensive it could be I just stored the hardrive in hope that I might afford to get it done in future.

Also I had the very strange feeling that those guys (nehru place shops) looked like amateurs.
They can only recover a hardrive with a faulty PCB.
I don't think they can do platter transplant, header replacement etc based recoveries (though there might be some goods shops that I don't know about)

To everyone if you consider your data very very very important than please do a thorough research read reviews about the recovery company and then handover your hardrive to them.

Also be ready to spend a fortune on data recovery if you cant spend right now then keep your hdd safe and get it done in future when you can afford it.

Louis Rossman https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup has quite a number of hardrive recovery video on their channel (they shows how it actually gets done)

(Do this one at your own risk)
You can check the PCBs of the hardrive with Rs150 multimeter if your HDD pcb is faulty then you are quite lucky because pcb repair is much easier than platter transplant, header replacement etc.

Had given one old hdd to a guy who claimed to do header replacement, but turns out it was only a claim.
Will check out the links.. thanks

I also have a 2TB WD External Hdd for repair Data Recovery centres quoting 20-25k without surety of repair.
Let's keep the costing aside for a second. Do OEM's recover data for individual users? If yes then say one had 1000 folders in a drive and they recovered 500, only partially, then how is the payment made?

Stellar data recovery, My friend had paid around 38K for 300 GB recovery but that was some years back and not sure how much they charge now. They are very professional. I think they are in Nehru Place, Delhi and in many other cities.

So you need to pay them (I would assume some kind of advance payment) even if they are unable to recover the data?
If that's the case then shitty situation

Advance payment? And they recovered every file?

50% advance payment and yes my friend got back all the files he was looking for. You can also specify the files you would like to recover and if it could not be recovered the advance payment is refunded in full. Also the advance amount is returned back if recovery is not possible. This was in Chennai few years back, not sure if their policies have changed now.

But they must charge something for their time right? Like a repair attempt charge. Otherwise it's a loss for the business.
 
Check out this company. I visited them back in 2012 with my 250GB HDD without knowing the cost to save my download folder. :p
 
thanks a lot guys for the inputs. Will contact stellar info..
Many US/EU data recovery services offer ‘no data/no recovery, no fee’ policy. Doesn’t hurt to ask them if they have similar policy.

WD and seagate recovery services
