Ouch!

I just got an estimate for the cost to recover data from my fried hard drive: $600.

That doesn't include $400 in new hard drives I bought for the thing, plus the cost of an unsuccessful Level I data recovery attempt ($150). Ultimately my crippled hard drive had to be shipped to a lab in Kentucky. A Level II recovery was successful at recovering all my consulting files. With the street value of those files reaching well into six figures, I guess it's worth it. It still sucks though.
