I thought hard drives had a three life expectancy.

Hi folks...

Once again I must mourn the death of a hard disk... this time a Maxtor
External USB drive. However I would rather not mourn the loss of the data.

Anyone have a quick, easy, very cheap suggestion for data recovery from a
Maxtor IDE drive? It's a 200GB drive but probably no more than a few Gb of
data.

Never understand how a drive that has so little read/write activity and is
sitting on a shelf so it is never bumped, would die so fast. (4 years?) I
know that's typical duty cycle, but it runs in almost ideal condition.
<sigh> I guess I need a small NAS RAID box, eh?

Thanx
David
