[Avid-L2] OT: Seeking Professional Media Aware Drive Recovery

 

A client has lost a 3TB NTFS-format P2 archive drive -- ironically a mirrored one -- and we are looking at recovery options.

It seems to be a corrupt directory issue; but, I am not having any luck finding a Disk Warrior replacement Windows 7.

Prosoft Engineering Data Rescue PC and Piriform Recuva seem to be able to scan the drive for usable data. I have Data Rescue running now; but, from prior experience, I expect that we are going to end up with a raw dump of files that no longer have their file names and folder structures. (If you think that it is a problem when the camera operator renames the CONTENTS folder...)

I have used Data Rescue Center with success in the past. I called them and received a well-disclaimed "maybe."

Does anybody here have any experience with NTFS directory repair software, like Alsoft Disk Warrior, or with a recovery service that is professional media aware?

Thanks!

-Jeff
