On the topic of recovering data from disk. Anybody got any experience with EXTERNAL WD HDDs?
Quick story time. Last July when me & my close buddies were having a movie night at my neighbour's place (of course, I was the "movie guy" since I am the only 1 who knows how torrents work), and the fucking HDD fell outta my pocket on the ground (fell about 0.5m) and at first it did work a little bit but later it commited "oxygen not reaching lungs" and every fucking time I connected it to my PC it said that the device isn't recognized. Tried on both Windows 7 AND 10, Linux Mint, Ubuntu & even on my friend's mom's iToddler Macbook. It was the same everytime
on all those OS-es. I pirated at least 5 PRO versions of Data recovering software, but all of them kicked the bucket when I tried to get my data from the HDD.
If anyone got any tips to share, that would be wonderful.
