2 days ago, it just went silent. I didn't drop it or anything, must have died itself. Try to plug it in, and absolutely nothing happens, makes no sound.

Along with 140GB of my data. It hasn't even been a full year yet since I bought it, which means I maybe able to get a refund/replacement for the HDD, but the data is not coming back.

Now on second thought, it could be the case that the electronics within the case thing that holds the HDD broke rather than the HDD itself. I'm hoping it's that, then I just need to buy a new case, which is much cheaper.

I wonder if it is a power failure type of thing...
If so I would hope it is in the chord or something...

twould be terrible to lose all that data


what is on said hardrive anyway?

my bet is anime, lots of HQ anime...

yeh my portable 2.5inch 250gb has 89gb of anime still got another 8gb to add

200 grams of awesome

more likely its the case test the HD in something else

and technically you should be able to open the case and connect the HD to your computer internally (if it is a regular sized external HD)
if not... then it gets complicated..

There's about 90GB of anime, like 20GB of movies, and other stuff like some music, music vids, ISOs, programs, and backups of some stuff on my computer. Had all my school stuff on there too.

Yeah, I will do that (test in another case). I'll wait till my dad comes back from interstate, and stick my HDD in his case.

It's a laptop HDD. Desktop ones would be kinda too big and chunky to take around.

I'd get really angry at him.... and get him to pay for it.
