Clicking noise of death. Not
Clicking noise of death. Not something you want to hear coming from a harddrive containing your baby's birth video and other backups that you weren't wanting to lose.
This is the first time that a harddrive has seized functioning on me. And is also my only Seagate brand harddrive. This is a ST3000DM001 model drive.
I was hoping that this would be an easy fix after searching general fixes online. Found one where the heads get stuck over the platter. So I decided to remove the six screws from the harddrive and took off the cover to reveal its guts. Sadly, the heads weren't stuck over the platter. Also, I saw what looked like black toner over the platters. Not sure what caused this or what triggered this to occur/if it was like this before I removed the cover. I am hoping I didn't cause irreversible damage to the drive. Anyway, from what I can guess...the heads on the drive need to be replaced. I wanted to get your opinion on what it could be. If this is something that can easily be fixable or if you recommend that I go see a data recovery specialist to repair my drive and who you recommend that I see.
***UPDATE 2/14/2015
A couple months back, I found the videos that I thought were only on this Seagate showing my child's birth. A HUGE relief. The rest of the data on this drive were mostly backups such as Microsoft Windows that I got from my old Technet subscription. Not worth time or money in attempting to restore, so will take a loss and move on.
My reddit post: Reddit: seagate_drive_died_what_to_do. One person suggested going to http://www.300dollardatarecovery.com/. Almost went there because of the low price and decent reviews.
Going to end up keeping this drive as a historical museum piece. I'm sure it will look ancient come 5-10yrs from now. Especially if/when SSD drives take over.
For those with the same issue and harddrive, please feel free to post comments for help or solutions. Thanks for watching.
