Pricing Consideration

If he fails, the chance of successful recovery in subsequent attempt will be greatly diminished. It is better for you to focus on a trust-worthy vendor who can succeed in his job at a price level acceptable by you.

● Do some background investigation of the vendor. Virtual web sites are always deceptive so why not pay a visit to the vendor's office before making a decision ?At least give them a call to see how they respond. How long they have been in business? Is data recovery their prime activities? To work on a crashed disk, do they have a clean room or they just claim to have one at some mysterious place?
● Check up if the vendor has good customer feedbacks. Beware as such references can be easily fabricated on their web sites so use your wisedom to authenticate such claims.
● You may also get some idea through words of mouth when you ask around friends, colleagues, relatives or service help desks.
● It is also common for trusted service vendors to partner other industrial vendors,manufacturers and service helpdesks. Be on the look up for such relationship and call them up to references.

Technical Consideration
The most basic requirement is to work inside a clean room environment so there will be minimum dust contamination on opened disks with higher chance of successful recovery. However, the citing of clean room should never be over-emphasized because it is just the minimum operating envronment and brings no magic to damaged disk. It is not the foremost factor to shout about. To perform successful recovery, it takes a lot of experience, perseverance and technical know-how to treat the sick media correctly before further deterioration. Due to the diversity of disk models, part numbers and firmware revisions, one will need to have a gigantic stock of disk parts,often in excess of tens of thousands, to service incoming patient drives of various makes. On top of that, there will also be heavy investment in special tools and utilities, some of which are tailor-made and customized to tackle special conditions. Surprising, even with the same tools, different engineers may operate with different outcomes due to its intrinsically complex technical nature.
