IT guy here, so I've got no excuse, either.

Not too long ago, I decided it was a good idea to consolidate all my digital family photos onto one drive. I'd just gotten the drive recently, so I figured that the risk of it crashing was pretty close to non-existent.

Of course, it crashed.

I ended up shipping the drive to someone in San Jose who does this sort of recovery, and he put the platters into another drive and the photos were recovered. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
