      I disagree, because that may mean you still have the means to recover the data on the platters. This is a head crash, which means many sectors are actually gone and unrecoverable.

    At least this doesn't sound like a mechanical failure, but an electronic one, or maybe servo data corruption. The drive controller doesn't see the data it wants to see, so it keeps trying and trying again. That means there's a chance to recover the data by swapping circuit boards etc

    Hi Mike and Kath! That sound was awful. Mine was worst: a 1 TB Hitachi HDD back in 2012 (6 mounths bought) a chip got burned and now is buried somewhere the garbage depot in my town. Query: Did this happen only with this drive? I'm asking because I have in mind to buy a ORICO HDD Docking Station the next year. I haven't got any issues with my ORICO products till this far (a USB 3.0 enclosure and a DVD/USB 3.0 drive). Thank you very much!

      ​@@mikesunboxingi have a samsung 640gb 2,5 inch HDD that used to be riddled with malware, and the main problem used to be that it didn't register in the system. sometimes it did, but the behavior was really flaky in that regard. after formatting it and using /chkdsk /r /f the drive dropped out of the system and became unformatted, with the CMD window saying stuff about reallocation errors. well, after that i found out that the diskpart utility in windows has a command that can wipe all properties of the drive. used that, formatted again, chkdsk again (keep in mind the sata2 interface, took a long while) and it came through just fine. crystaldisk info looks fine, and it still shows the amount of power-on hours. can't vouch for it's longevity as i'm not using it right now, but if you need to salvage a drive that shows up as unformatted you can try that command in the diskpart utility. will likely lead to loss of all data on the drive, but if the hardware is of greater value or the drive is unresponcive to alternative treatments, it's a nice last resort measure.

    When the thing that is apost to keep your backups safe from a HDD failure fails: so…… ther went plan b………
    *SSD backup drives may be expensive as heck, but they’re worth it considering you mostly put video game saves, pet photos, photos of lost loved ones, etc etc on those things. You buy an external backup drive to protect your data from a HDD failure, but when your backup drive is even more prone to the same common failure (becuse normal HDDs remain sitting, but external HDDs get rotated, and cheap ones without a mechanical lock on them that makes sure the lever that reads the data off the drive doesn’t move and corrupt data; are the ones that fail the most) as your HDD is, their not safe and not good for backing up that kind of stuff.*

    The shitty part is that I use a pen stylus and that shit lags like crazy and I can’t use windows ink anymore and it freaking lags when I hold it the mouse on one place … what’s the procedure when the HDD gets cut off from the power cable ? And the usb
