Ever wonder if it's possible to get back data from a hard drive that has died? It is.

This article talks about Ontrack, a company which specializes in data recovery. The article itself is rather informative, as it talks about different types of ways hard drives can fail and how recovery is done.

One thing to keep in mind is that data recovery is expensive. Many jobs ago, we had to use Ontrack's services because a certain manager couldn't be bothered to back up her emails like we told her to. The total cost was $1,500. Obviously, backing up your data is a lot cheaper.

The freezer trick is an emergency solution when the HD stops working for whatever reason. It's only temporary so you can extract your vital data from it and then drive a stake through its heart for failing you.
