Seagate 3tb expansion +

[kilbert]

Hi
Maybe a little help with my friends backup drive?
Drive is in external enclosure.
Drive spins, and heads make noise as a normal drive when powered up- It also stays spinning while I had it hooked up to power.
Windows does not recognise in drive management.
Linux does not recognise in drive management.

Linux lsusb sees the drive /or enclosure
kilbert@linux:~> lsusb
Bus 003 Device 010: ID 0bc2:3341 Seagate RSS LLC

Sound like a possible home repair?

thanks
Kilbert

in addition to Spildit if there is "no" unusual noise, a terminal log will help

Thanks for the responses.
Took me awhile to read and remove the drive.

I opened the case, removed the drive.

Windows will not see it
Ran seatools for windows,will not see the drive.
ran gparted in linux, will not see.
lsusb linux: no drive listed, must have seen the sata bridge before.

testdisk w/ mhdd will not boot using usn mass storage option : hangs on initilizing host controller 3/4.

any options, hopefully a board repair...
Not interested in the data on the disk, just want to attempt repair.

Edit: disk model Barracuda 3000 GB model: ST3000M001

At this point if you don't need the data on the drive i would STRONGLY advice you to discard the drive and buy a new one. Never buy anything like a Seagate (since 7200.11 models and up) and the last thing you will want is a 7200.14 seagate drive. Just buy something else like Hitachi and be happy.

If you still want to attempt anything at all with the drive you will need at least a TTL adaptor like this :

Connect it to the drive like this :

And post what you see on terminal ...

In any case i think you will be loosing time as you don't want to re-use a drive that is so bad and that already failed to start with.

Spildit ,
they never write 7200.14 on these i wonder why ?
