2-5 k is normal if the drive is so far gone they need to take it apart to get to the data.
CBL Data worked for me in the past but That was a few years ago. They will evaluate your drive for free and tell you what they can get off data wise and the cost. If you want to proceed they then do the work if not they send you drive back. They were suggested to me by a seagate support person at the time.
Have you tried to pull the data off with a recovery software using the drive as a slave.
Are you on OSX, windows, or Linux?

- pbhjpbhj 16y agoIs there nothing in the logs about the drive - eg at boot is it read, are their errors or is it just ignored? Does the BIOS recognise a drive is present or do you get a "no operating system" type warning?
- JonathanWCurd 16y agoWho makes the drive? Many of the manufacturers have diagnostic programs you can run to test if its motherboard or read head issues. If its not making funny sounds (read head / platter damage) you may be able to swap the drive chip guts with another similar drive and get the data back yourself without sending it in. If its under warranty you can get a replacement from the manufacturer if not eBay might have one or some of the other asset recovery chop shops you can find parts for computers servers etc.
