Seagate give me quote on my parity drive data recovery. It is $2000 and they will not be able to recover 100% of the data. There is possibility it gets worst. I have not respond to them yet.
This is the what they say:
"Our lab has completed the evaluation of your unit. It has been determined that the unit has internal problems preventing normal operation of the device.
Internal problems include but are not limited to; Failure of the read/write heads, media damage, system area
corruption, media contamination.
Based upon this evaluation, we feel that a recovery may be possible. Our engineered solutions will be applied to this issue in attempts to revive the unit long enough for sector level access. Once achieved, a raw image of all readable content will be made to a shop device. We will analyze and repair the corrupted /invalid/ unreadable file-system components, and finally mount the recovery to determine if some / all of the data you require is intact."
This is my question: If seagate can recover only part of the data in the parity drive (I do not know how much), will I still be able to read most of my disk1 information?
Thank You!
