HDD crashed

[Lala81]

I usually use on track recovery software to recover the data myself, but this work only if the drive recognise

 

2 disk fail at one time is quite rare, if you plug the drive into the computer directly does it work/read? Maybe the Synology malfunctioned?

If it's a standard 2.5 or 3.5 Sara drive best just take the drive out and get a new casing and swap

Also for nas setup please get NAS standard drives, there is a difference in reliability

Lol my wd reds only seem to last 3 years. Zzz next time get hgst. One of mine is hgst now.

Can't you DIY using a HDD Caddy bought from Challenger quite cheap.

3.5" SATA ExternalHard Drive Enclosure S$ 39.90

Worked for me.

So far my array had 1 WD Red fail, Seagates NAS usually give SMART warning first then I swap it out. HGST seems okay but runs 6 degrees hotter than the Seagates which is damn odd. Anyway its good to mix the brands in case of any odd failure in one brand manufacturing for that batch.

 

Average

Seagate - 37 - 38 Degrees

HGST - 44 Degrees

WD Red - 42 Degrees

 

I got more seagate nas and (touch wood) no total failure

No meaning to doubt the guy but the rationale is interesting mainly cause I thought

 

1. 2 Harddisk have same head failure / platter damage, seems quite coincidental

2. A scratched platter is usually really bad, data recovery usually cost a bomb (or near impossible) cause they will need to either have specialize equipment to remove the platter in a clean room and mount on a reader or get a same hard drive model and swap the platters. Both technique I was told would be quite costly.

 

Maybe the platter damage is not that jialat?

Just looking out for you mate, a lot of these shops just overcharge customers for things that are quite easy to do and overstate the actual issue. But anyway since the shop already has it In your position I would just pay the 500 and be done with it.

 

If the drive was readable without any loud noises (indicates platter damage) you might be able to recover yourself for free is what I'm saying

I get that bro. Just that I have no Idea what and how to do that’s all.

Thanks for the advice.

I just went to Sim Lim Square change the casing.

My external hard disk USB port has sunken into the internal components inside.

 

Can change the port?
