Hard Drive = Dead
Here it is, a back up hard drive. This drive contains every photo Ive taken over the last 3 years. Turned it on to do some editing and all I hear is a click... click... click... uh oh. I sent it in to the people at ESS Data Recovery and they found head to platter contact on multiple platters and where unable to recover any data.
So what did we all learn from this lesson? Back up your back ups and then have a back up of those.
