Western Digital My Book Drive Crash


Anbefalte innlegg

Hello,

 

My girlfriend owns a Western Digital My Book Pro (or Premium SE, case is black at least) 1TB edition, which is actually two 500GB hard drives in a mirror Raid configuration.

A few days ago apparently it fell over on to its side while turned on. After this the My Book would not work, when powered on it would make a weird noise which I at first did not identify as a hard drive failure. The noise sounded more artificial than mechanical.

 

Anyway, I took the My Book apart and extracted the two hard drives from it and then plugged them into my desktop computer (one by one). But when I tried to boot up the hard drives would make the same noise as before and I was not able to get my computer running with these drives connected, couldn’t even get to the bios. Both drives had the same problem.

 

Now, this is as far as my knowledge on hard drives extend. The data on these drives are valuable to my girlfriend; there are thousands of pictures that she does not want to loose. What are our options? Does anyone know any techniques or have any tips on what we can attempt further to get the data off these drives? Or are they simply mechanically broken and we’re shit out of luck?

 

I’m fairly knowledgeable about computers, I’ve built my own from scratch and know the basics. I’m willing to try any suggestions anyone might have.

 

I would also appreciate it if anyone has any alternate suggestions on how we can get the data of these drives.

 

If you need more information to answer me I will gladly comply.

 

Thank you very much for reading, my girlfriend is really in despair over this and any help will be much appreciated.

 

Best wishes,

SilentGem
