I got this hard drive, Transcend StoreJet 1TB. with all the awards it has.. worth nothing =/
http://www.transcend-info.com/Products/No-324
Now, apparently when I connect it to my computer, my PC does recognize the connection, and it is making the sound that it is connected properly (drivers are also being installed).
From some reason, I can't access the driver, Windows can't tell me it's size, it isn't even recommending me to format it. I tried different cables and the same thing, I've tried to connect it to different computers, and yet I still have the same problem.
The thing is, I realise I might need to perform some Data Recovery, and to bring my Hard Disk to some lab, but since it's 1TB it is very expensive (150$+) and no one is willing to guarantee that my data can be recovered in some other way...
If I'll try to open it myself or to perform any amatuer check on my own, I will destroy the design of this hard disk... do you have any other solution for me?
