IOW. The drive is almost certainly toast. If the data is really important, you can send it to a disk recovery place, who will charge you lots of money, and send back the data on CD or whatnot. If it’s not, you buy a new drive (or two and a mirroring controller) and resolve to be better about backups next time.

Its probably the fastest thing going in consumer-grade drives... but I will never know b/c I am once-bitten, twice-shy on raptors. Also, given the way my seagates are just zipping along, I just don't see the need to bump up the speed even more (at this time).
