I'd be remiss if I didn't speak up to say I've dealt with Tech Fusion in a professional way, and have heard numerous feedback from my clients denouncing their business. They often make promises they can't keep. They employ technicians who are often uneducated and make poor decisions that end up causing further damage to machines. They have also been very difficult to deal with once they do screw up.

I second what a couple commenters have said, Drive Savers is the standard in the industry. If your HD is clicking, you're looking at a starting price of ~$400 no matter where you go. Realistically, you're looking at at least a grand. Data recovery is a very specialized industry that requires expensive technology and a clean room. If you really care about your data, don't bring it to a local hack; they'll take your $300 and not give you anything to show for it.
