Navigating Data Recovery: Sending My HDD for Professional Help

Today marks a significant step in recovering crucial data from my 2.5-year-old Seagate Barracuda 4TB hard drive. Although the HDD powers up and appears in the BIOS, Windows unfortunately fails to detect it. After consulting with a technician, it seems the issue may be related to firmware or bad sectors.

With fingers tightly crossed, I’m sending my drive to MyHardDriveDied, a specialist in data recovery. This experience has taught me an important lesson about the necessity of regular backups—a practice I will surely adopt moving forward. Here’s hoping for a successful recovery!
