OnTrack has a $100 service fee for single drives. Worth the cost. Full detailed list of files and recovery cost and time. Arrays - like I have on the bench there right now. $1000 diagnostic. Worth every penny - of course my insurance company is paying it. I won't know till next week if it will be recoverable (VMware datastore).
