Now, THAT’S what I call pricey … !
You’ve probably realised I like TV series, every-so-often. And had stored — had — a lot of them, AND a lot of family photos.
I knocked it off the table, the other day: and got the clicking sound — known as the click of death* — from the drive.
It was dead.
What I eventually did — after panicking, swearing and frantically looking for clues on the ’Net — was extract the drive: and check it in a spare drive bay on my Mac Pro. I still got the clicking.
As that is — from what I can see — fatal, I’ve now taken the thing to a local computer repair shop: one that does data recovery.
They tell me it’s going to take about a week to get anything from the drive.
I’m hopeful they will.
About my only issue?
Is the eye watering price I’m paying for this. Not something you want to see, when you’re on a budget!
