hey, my secondary hard drive died. I want to recover data but

Are you worried about the cost or are there stuff inside it that you don't want people to see?

/g/ is your best bet. 19/20 replies will be shit posts, but hold out and someone will have something useful to say

recovering it will cost something like 50-70$ in my country, is your data worth this much to you, even when only partially recovered?

Find that out and then go google a data recovery service in your area

Put it in your freezer for half the day, they replug it and transfer your datas quickly. Then your HD will be unusable after a few hours.

It sounds weird but it can actually work :

Recover it yourself, and don't use it until you've figured out which tools/techniques work. That depends how broken it actually is.

If it's a SSD just give up, they can cost 20k to repair.
