what is the hardware called for HD recovery?
where can one buy said equipment?
anyone know of a good online training course?

Forget it. Hardware recovery, if I understand what you're trying to do, is going to cost you TENS OF THOUSANDS because you need a Clean Room to do the data recovery in. The hardware itself will be useless without it.

If you get to the point where you need to open a hard drive, you need a clean room so that it does not get contaminated. This is expensive to say the least.

For more info I would check the big recovery sites, since they have explanations of what they do.

ontrack.com

etc.

I hope this helps !

As I said, a clean room:

Thanks everyone, just so i am 100% clear on this

ive had a few friends HD die recently and Ive sent them to professionals, i have no interest in buying hardware or making a clean room. I just wanted to learn more about the equipment, an the process involved.

thanks to Gary_The_IT_Pro for the only training link. the you tube video was great, i sent it to my friends so they had a better understanding of their hard drives.
