My Seagate Expansion 3TB External hard drive is now useless and has caused me a lot of pain as it does not open any more.
There are lot of documents and information there in to which I have no more access as the documents cannot down load. When I connect it to my PC it vibrates and the green light comes on but does not transfer the data to the computer.
What can I do in this case? Please help me to retrieve my documents.
If your not worried about any type of warranty. In this case I would crack open the external casing and pull out the hard drive, this will allow you to by pass the sata to usb adapter. Which if your very lucky is the issue.
At this time it would be nothing more then an internal sata hard drive. Turn off your computer and Plug the drive in to an open sata port and start the computer up. With any luck you may be able to access the data.
If not, it would mean the drive is dead and not much you can really do about it. Good luck
