[GTALUG] speaking of Ipod data recovery.

[Mauro Souza]

Unless you have the tools, time and the knowledge to recover your data, pay
$60, it's cheaper.

They will probably remove the storage (HDD or SDD, depending on the model),
run a data recovery program (I would use testdisk) and copy the data for
another drive. You could do it yourself with some effort.

Pros: you save $60. You learn a new tool.
Cons: you can damage the ipod, damage the storage, destroy the files
instead of recovering them.
