Anyone have any good recommendations for data recovery in Canada?
Short story long, two Seagate Exos X16 in RAID 0 that I use for editing videos off of, I had various external drives as backups so I wanted to simplify and made sure the RAID 0 had everything on it from every backup, merged, organized.
I started zeroing out all of the various external drives and selling them so I could buy just two larger capacity externals to run a new back up with… the fucking RAID died two days ago and I haven’t even bought the new externals yet.
One of the Exos comes up in Windows as Unallocated space, the other is still showing the partitions but failed to mount for obvious reasons. So, I gotta send the drives off to a data recovery place now, and hopefully soon cause the 5 year warranty expires for me in June 2026 so I’ll need the failed drive back within time to still get a replacement from Seagate under warranty.
Seagate said the recovery service expired on these drives so I only qualify for a free replacement with no data recovery. They offered a third party partner service with ATP Data Service for $1064 CAD and an 8-12 month turn around time.
Got any other recommendations or experienced a place within Canada for a faster turn around time? Possibly better prices?
