Hi, all -- After the holidays and the hand surgery and the other "important" projects, I am finally able to circle back to my 4 x 4T RAID5 disk problem. I've been promised that I can get 30 - 60 minutes each night to do more poking and send responses ... but that was a week ago and here is my first chance to sit down, so I don't know how much I believe it! Has anyone worked with any recovery companies in the US? One of the 4T devices failed, possibly just because of motor issues, and one is throwing read errors, while two are just fine. This would probably be easy for the right folks to fix, of course at some cost; the question is are there any folks that you might recommend and how much is that cost. I'd appreciate any input anyone can provide ... Meanwhile, I'm also refreshing myself and going through all of the steps to be able to ask good questions and present necessary information in case I do indeed get to scrape my knuckles against this stuff enough to recover the data. Thanks again & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt
