How To Do Data Recovery On Mac
my lacie external harddrive fell down on hardwood floor!?
after it fell, my HD started to make this clicking sound and now it wont detect on my mac..
is there any possible solutions that i can do to retrieve all the data back? and if i have to seek a specialist, how much does data recovery usually cost?
there are several things that can be done (tried) run diagnostic software
if it does need to be taken in for data recovery it’s insanely expensive with ZERO guarantee
they say 1 file recovered is a success depending on size of the drive but it’s in the neighborhood of about $200 per meg most drives are in the 200 GIG range
it is not unheard of costing near to $200,000 or more

Businesses of all sizes are witnessing an explosion in the volume of data they hold. Whether it is the result of the Internet, email, or increasingly heavy and media-rich application software, there is a massive growth in the volume of data all around. Conservative estimates place data growth at approximately 80% per year. Data is increasingly being recognized as one of the real assets of a company, and losing this data would cause severe damage to any organization.
Data loss can be very costly, particularly for organizations in the small and medium business (SMB) market where the difference between survival and closure can rest on the ability to recover from a disaster. At the very least, critical data loss will have a financial impact on companies of all sizes:
Data type Time to re-create 20 MB Cost
Sales and marketing 19 days $17,000
Accounting 21 days $19,000
Engineering 42 days $98,000
The financial impact on a company is a combination of loss of business, low productivity, legal action, and the cost of re-creating data. A study showed that the cost of re-creating just 20 MB of data can be extensive!
