Q. I have a Seagate 300GB hard drive, recently my PC stopped recognizing it and it made a strange grinding noise when it was on. I haven't got the first clue on how to access the drive. I heard data recovery was outrageously priced. But I'm just trying to get a ball park figure.
A. Yes it usually is very expensive. But try installing this drive as a second drive on another system, see if it recognized and see if you can access it there. Also, search teh web, there are some tools availabe that can do magic stuff with defective drives. Good luck!
What is a normal/good price for portable hard drive data recovery?
Q. Got to get data from 3 portable hard drives that stopped working properly and I don't want to get ripped off. All three get power and then blink or beep and the computer doesn't recognize them.
Also if anyone knows of a place in Los Angeles I would really appreciate it.

A. It depends on what is wrong with them. I'd guesstimate from $300-1500 a piece from a professional lab. You can compare prices at ontrack, gillware and drivesavers the top 3 data recovery labs and see who comes out cheapest. Generally it will be Gillware though, they also offer free evaluations and have an online estimating tool.
Before you do that you can pull the drives out of their enclosures and try hooking them up directly to a computer or try them in a new enclosure.

A. Before I tell you which one is the best one, I would like to tell you what standard I used to judge and compare software.
the standards are professional function, easy-to-use,compatible to computer's operating system and competitive price.
according to the above standard, My recommend one is Wondershare Data Recovery( because I used it and it works well with nice quality)
it is comprehensive recovery software. It can do partition recovery, format recovery,data recovery, photo recovery photos, and partition.
It supports FAT16, FAT32, NTFS file systems
you can specify a target folder, which means you don't need to scan all the data on the disk. it can save you much time and energy.
you can preview your files before recovery to evaluate the recovery quality.
