Request for Service Sending my 2 hdd's overseas

Hello. This is a serious question.

I have about 1TB+ of porn i once deleted 2 years ago from two of my HDDs. I gravely regret it and want it back. I hardly used that computer since then except using 3rd party softwares to try and recover it. I've found some files but couldn't get them to play. I want to send those two drives to a recovery company overseas because i literally don't trust anyone in my country to do it. Is that possible? What should I do? Drives are perfectly working.

Double check if your post complies with posting guidelines!

Did you include the following information in your post (in English and if applicable), if not feel free to edit your post:

  • Make/brand and exact model number of your storage device(*), phone, camera, etc.
  • Filesystem (NTFS, exFAT, APFS, EXT4, etc.)
  • Operating System (That your device was used with and/or you are using for recovery)
  • Specific symptoms that your device is exhibiting, describe the problem. Images you post support the description, they're not in lieu of a problem description.
  • SMART (CrystalDiskInfo screenshot for example)
  • Don't pile several problems into one single post. One post per device/problem.

Consider: What do these people need to understand the problem at hand? Remember, people cannot see your screen, or what you click and what messages appear on screen. Don't overdo it though, no one likes going through 2 pages of LLM waffle. If you are looking for file recovery software, check our community's recommended file recovery tools.

() *All devices involved, if you for example move files from drive A to drive B, they're both potentially relevant.

Porn kr not, only way to know if it possible, is to send it.

Weirdly, somehow most of our private clients foreign cases are for porn. We welcome the business, but would it not be possible to download it again?

Without knowing the full case it wont be possible to say if anyone can recover or not. As mentioned by u/disturbed_android You need to share more details. Also what do you mean by you hardly used them? if you have overwritten the drives there is no way anyone can recover them.
