Hi,
I have a Seagate Barracuda 3000 GB external hard drive that stopped working on me and I would like to get the data off of it. In hindsight, I know that I should have backed up the data and I admit my mistake in that respect.
My external hard drive wasn't dropped or otherwise damaged to my knowledge and is under 5 years old. I believe it stopped working due to overuse. I took the hard drive out of its plastic enclosure and I power the drive using an Anker USB 3.0 to SATA adapter which should eliminate a faulty enclosure connection being the issue.
My hard drive sometimes shows up in Device Manager as "Mass Storage Device" but I'm still not able to access any of the files.
I ran the data recovery program EaseUs and a list of my files showed up but they all had file sizes of 0 kilobytes.
I've recorded what the drive sounds like here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7wTraDN6Ku-V3I2YVlPWC13eEE
How can I recover my data from this drive?
Thank you.
