Faulty Seagate ST2000DM001

October 7th, 2016, 0:14

I just got handed a friends computer that has a pair of 2G ST2000DM001 seagate drive in it that were part of a stripe set.
PN 9yn164-300
One of the drives does not show up in bios so the raid set fails.

The faulty drive makes like 11 weird clicking sort of noises on power on and then goes silent.

Any suggestions on stuff I can try?

My mate would like to get the data back if its not major issue but the world wont end if it isnt possible.

Cheers

11 clicks and power down = bad heads and/or media damage

Not DIY physical problems, and if data isn't important then move on :-(

Thank you for the quick reply.

Just out of interest what sort of money are we talking to get the heads replaced assuming no media dmg?
