[gentoo-user] recommendation for a data recovery service

[luis jure]

for all i know, my data disk died yesterday (WD caviar black, 2TB).
first i see the message:

SATA PORT3 Device Error
Press F1 to resume

and then during boot up this:

[    2.775026] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[    2.775571] ata3.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed,
err_mask=0x80)
[    8.233178] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[    8.233717] ata3.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed,
err_mask=0x80)
[    8.234080] ata3: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
[   13.691330] ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)
[   13.691866] ata3.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x80)
[   19.149483] ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)

yes, i changed sata connections, with the same results (changing the
sata number, of course)

i don know anything about this, but my hunch is that it's a burnt PCB.
i've fond several repair services on the web, but i would greatly
appreciate recommendations based on personal experience.

thanks,

lj
