Seagagte Baracuda 7200.11 SATA drive no longer recognized - anyone else?

<< < (3/3)

newmanfamilyvlogs:
A coworker had this issue. He emailed seagate, sent them the drive, and it came back fixed with no data loss.

Dervacumen:
I was thinking of calling them but the allure of undertaking a relatively simple hack thereby impressing my friends and family for $6.00 in parts was too much.
More importantly, I don't remember what's on that drive so I'd rather keep it here.  I won't say what I think might be on there... ::)

Yeah, I came across that too. Kind of annoying when you're trying to pinpoint a problem and they do that.

I've only had one Seagate "fail" on me and that was a ridiculously long time ago, back when owning 10GB drives turned kids into men. I'm not kidding when I say my Seagate literally creaked on me. Using that PC sounded like a grandma in her rocking chair doing 80.

I can't stand Hitachi. My fiance's laptop used a Hitachi and no amount of trickery or freezing would allow me to recover that data. I found another laptop with a ---smurfy--- Hitachi. At least that one was recoverable. Then after T-Mobile's ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- servers went down after Microsoft/Hitachi botched the upgrade or whatever they were doing, I vowed not to use Hitachi.
