I have an old WD external that developed the infamous 'click of death' - but it could only be heard if I put my ear right next to it.

It's a WD. No click of death... no scratches... one part of the whole thing is broken but not where the data itself is stored. I was assured that probably 100% of the data can be recovered.... 950 euro is a bit shit tho... i can eat icescreams whole summer for that

...what you can try is putting the drive in a ziplock freezer bag and putting it in the freezer for a few hours. Take it out and try to boot it up. The 'clicling' sound is the drive wheel sticking and keeping it cold can un-stick it long enough to recover some data. It's worth a shot.
Best of luck man, losing drives and data sucks goat balls. |
Thanks man... yeah i taped the drive to my heart for deep freezing... walking around with it now all day...
