Need a hard drive for data recovery!!!

robmill3r · 08-14-2006, 03:33 PM

My hard drive faied and I need to find a duplicate so the data can be recovered.

Thought I'd put it out here and see if anyone has or knows where to find my drive. I need an Hitachi Travel Star Model #HTS424030M9AT00, P/N 13G1495, MLC #DA1091, Mfg between Sept '04 and Jan '05. I know, I know, I will forever more be a backer-upper.

Thanks BurgerBob!

I sent the first link to the folks who are actually doing the recovery. maybe they can do something with it. Unfortunately, Hitachi won't even talk to me about my drive, and most online retailers won't look on their shelves to verify date codes if they have it on stock. I'm hoping to come across someone who has one and isn't using it or is interested in uprgading: I could send them a new drive or a store credit to their choice of retailers or pay $ outright- whatever! As you can tell, I'm pretty desperate here! I have pictures and files on that drive that just can't be replaced!

The folks that are doing the work on my drive found it on Ebay!

Thanks for trying burgerbob! The link you sent showed it, but out of stock. Oh well, the improtant thing is you lent a hand, and I really appreciate it!!!

I'm having unrelated problems with my replacment machines (that's right- I'm on #3!!!) Dell is sending me, though. Have a look and see if you can figure this one out

Dell replacement replacement... LCD woes

Out of interest, presumably a duplicate drive is needed because the folk recovering the data need a spare to put the old magnetic disk in (or to use for spare parts)?
