The real truth about data recovery (Score 1)

I am surprised at the amount of voodoo and misconception on this topic, in a land of geeks who probably should know better. Having been in the data recovery business for several years, I have noticed that nobody gives your the real truth: Most data loss is the result of small corruption that fouls up your $MFT, or formatting, and as a result your drive is not recognized by "most" operating systems. This is what we classify as logical errors (not enough damage to warrant open case recovery) This is about 85% of all drive we see, and we only charge $80-160 on average. The ones we can't recover, we send to the SHOP, and they ARE 100% effective, so far. So most of what I read is crap, it is NOT reality, at all. But it is really hard to determine what is real in this VERY secretive industry, we are like the CIA......I am probably gonna disappear after this post. I AM NOT planning to commit suicide............
