this drive is a seagate baracuda sounds like someone dropped a ping pong ball inside it when the heads try to reset
ohh well now I just need to remember everything that is on there so I can make the decision on getting it recovered or just hitting it with a sledge hammer! |

That sucks. We had it too around 7 times already (mostly with Lacie drives by the way).
Raid-6 filers with backups these days. Expensive but nessecary unfortunatly. |

That's why, at least with my own shoot archives, each external drive has a backup external drive. Drives are cheaper than lost shoots.

http://www.harddrive911.com/ were able to recover everything from 2 dead 1TB Lacie external for me at the best price by far, out of about 6-7 quotes. I highly recommend them if you're interested in recovery. Good luck!

Thats what happens when you masturbate over your external drive.

That's why when I buy an external HD I always buy 2. Backups of each other.

1. Never trust a hard drive. They are mechanical devices so they WILL fail. It is WHEN that is the question.
2. Back up everything to at least one other place. If it's another HD then try to use another brand or at least model. 3. Repeat the above two rules until it sinks in.  |

Had two drives fail in the same week this spring. Fucking painful. One turned out to be just the enclosure, the other was the control board. Thank jebus.
