So my external HDD is clicking and not visible anymore...I know it's over, but I would like to save some data like vids/pics/text files and music.
Is there a way? I mean does it even make sense to use some kind of recovery or cloning software if the HDD isn't even starting?

Don't bother. Just restore from backups.


Even if you get that HDD working again it's not reliable anymore. You can't trust it. Buy a new one.

Pay a data recovery service to recover it for you. Stop using it or you risk further data loss. It'll cost thousands. Decide if your data is worth it.

Your right, it's over. It's finally time to get to the backups! This is not a drill! This is an actual data restore situation!

I don't care if it won't be reliable. I just need it to start one more time so I can move the data to another HDD. I don't have backups sadly since I was in the process of moving data and didn't bother.

All I need is to access the HDD one more time to get some files, but I don't have extremely important stuff that would justify spending tons of money to recover it.

I put mine in the freezer for an hour or so and it would start for maybe 5-10 minutes.

Just remember to put it in a sealed plastic bag.

That's tough and shows the importance of redundant backups.

No way to help you kid, you are on your own but thanks for creating awareness for unbacked up data!

This was on an old harddrive, though.

It's worth a shot, worst case you'll have a cold broken hdd instead of a room temperature broken hdd.

I just put it in the freezer and hopefully it will run for a short time so I can get some data.
What if it doesn't work? Is there a way to move that reading arm thing? Seems like that is the problem and causing the clicking sound.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
