Currently we can recover from most of the iron wolf families, but I hear Seagate are going to remove terminal interface which will put the lid on it.

4 - You will be at the mercy of the ones that build the product to fail so that they are the only ones that can recover from what they created charging you whatever they want.
As stated Seagate will sell you a "plan" to protect you from their own as they design their products to fail and lock them as tight as possible so they are the only ones that can recover the data out of their own drives made to fail.
