Hi Guys,Well I had a WD Essentials External HDD and I the next month after buying it fell off my desk! It still worked because the usb to sata connector was still intact,all of a sudden it stops working i mess around with it sometimes i see the lights flicker but NO USE i decide to buy a n Ultra usb to sata connector and just hope it works now i hear the HDD turn on but NO MOUNT so i try to format it and i caant see it i try absolutely everything it had my APPLE TIME MACHINE back up and A 750 gb 2nd partition since it came from a mac i tried that program that helps read it i still cant see it so basically i have a 120 $ 1TB paperweight PLEAS HELP

I am not a drive recovery expert but I would say you are mostly right. You have a $55 paperweight and a spare $15 external enclosure. These sell for $70.
