4If the data is important enough, contact a company that specializes in data recovery, they typically have the tools to image the HDD in different ways not typically available to consumer data recovery tools. Most companies will give you a quote or an estimate and only charge you a full price if they are successful in recovery some or all your data. If you attempt to replace the heads yourself your data is really toast.– RamhoundCommented May 12, 2023 at 2:08

Yeah, definitely won't be trying anything myself. Honestly, trying to avoid going to data recovery services if there's reason to believe that the data is totally gone. This drive isn't that important.– GeorgeCommented May 12, 2023 at 3:20

These companies literally have donor drives, it costs nothing, to reach out to a company and ask if they had any luck recovering data from that model– RamhoundCommented May 12, 2023 at 3:32

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
