So i have had this drive for about a year and a half and it decided to die on me while i was copying over data off of it as i knew it was gonna die any moment.
Anyway when i first got the drive it sometimes had this high pitch tick when ever it would have to suddenly go and read stuff off of a plate(its a 3tb hd) but now when it stopped working it has this double tick that plays off in the same rhythm time after time.
So i was wondering if any of you guys know how i could get it to work again as last check i did on it the plates itself(according to the drive) where fine and that was 5 minutes before it died so i know there is a high chance the info is still perfectly fine but i just dont wanna go do all these so called ways of fixing it until im sure of the one that id do will do it as my dad has suggested the freezer trick of making it be really cold but i know that the chance of it getting unstuck that way is smaller then the chance of screwing up the drive even more.
