I've had a Ditto NAS system set up for around two years with all our old videos and photo's stored on it as back-up.
It started making a buzzing noise, so got turned off as it was making a racket and we wanted to sleep.
Now I've switched it back on, the ditto isn't detecting the drive. I pulled the drive out and tried plugging it in direct to the PC and it's powering up, but not being detected.
It's a Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200 and the Ditto documentation states that it uses standard SATA drives, so it's nothing special.
My question is; can the drive be repaired or even have the guts placed into a new drive?
As per usual, we've lost most of the original files through upgrades and reformatting, relying on the Ditto. Is it possible to recover stuff from a hard drive?
Update: It's a ST31000528AS drive which looking on eBay, appears to have a lot of people selling the PCB for "data recovery". Do these drives suffer from poor pcb manufacture, common fault?
