need data recovery service suggestions (no software)

my hard drive had a mechanical failure...i took it to the apple store, and they replaced my hard drive. they could not retrieve anything from my old hard drive.

i still have the broken one.

i'm looking for some suggestions on good data recovery services. i am not computer saavy, so i don't really want any software suggestions.

cheap but effective would be good. thanks!

Sorry no such animal as all professional recovery services are dear.

Disk Data Recovery | Hard Drive Data Recovery | HDD Data Recovery

Harry is right. All data recovery services are expensive and none of them will guaranty they can retrieve your data. However, I understand that unless the drive has suffered major physical damage, data can usually be recovered.

Regards.

any other suggestions? i'm looking for good companies.

thanks for all the responses.

I don't think your going to find much here. Data recovery is usually more business related and I don't think there's much of that here.

And the more data u want to recover from the system the more they charge.

They're all expensive, because this type of thing requires special equipment and techniques.

TidBITS : DriveSavers to the Rescue

Drive Savers is one of the best known companies. Ten years ago, they charged $900-$2800. I believe this is typical today.

So expensive!
There is software available to buy, probably the same as they use.
Around $120 I believe. I have no clue how successful they are, but there will be reviews on the web.
