[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1060743, member: 46727"] OK, that's good news. Data Rescue III in my opinion is the best at recovering data off "dead" drives. Apparently the drive electronics are OK because DR III can access it. One bit of caution here.... If that drive is still under warranty (it should be) ask for a RMA from WD and have them replace it. I would no longer trust that drive to store anything. If it failed once, it's going to again. As for your valuable photos: The best place to store them is on DVDs not a hard drive, raided or not. One of these days when Blue Ray is more affordable, that would be even better. :) Regards. [/QUOTE]
