Help with extracting data from a 3TB drive
Help with extracting data from a 3TB drive
I’ve tested every method I understand. It seems there’s roughly a 50/50 chance it will work when connected and read in a temporary clean environment. When I tried to access the file, the pointer wouldn’t move and there was a noticeable line across the entire disc. I suspect a stuck head caused the issue, though it eventually released without leaving major damage.
It could be sent to a datacenter, allowing them to retrieve the<|pad|> the data from and create a duplicate if needed
Sounds like it's time to send it to a professional data recovery service. If there's a gouged line in the visible platter, at least one head is FUBAR.
