Seagate SSHD ST2000DX001

July 21st, 2017, 7:28

I have a hybrid 2TB hdd/ssd (Seagate ST2000DX001) which, a couple of weeks ago, began to intermittently make Windows 10 unresponsive. Checking the event viewer revealed that "the disk has a bad sector." I immediately got a new HDD, installed Win10 from scratch, re-connected the old drive as a secondary, and began copying selected directories over to the new drive. This was going fine for a while, then the old drive stopped putting out.

I powered down the system, and the drive has not been recognized by the bios since. It is spinning up, but the mobo refuses to see it. I have tried different sata ports, even putting it in an external enclosure and connecting it via an esata port - still no go. When powered up, I hear the disk physically spin up and make one of two sound sequences - three bursts in one, four in the other with one of them being higher pitched. I uploaded a couple of MP3s of what it sounds like to Dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9miqy4ooywzt ... egKaa?dl=0

Can anyone tell from the sound of it what the issue could be? If I can't get the mobo to recognize the drive, are there any tools I can use to get into the thing and give it a kick in the pants? There is still data on the drive that I'd really like to get off of it - trying to avoid spending the $550 to get the data back.

Can I assume from the lack of replies that I'm pretty much out of luck on this one?

I currently have no tools - downloaded "Seagate Tools" which was, of course, worthless. Barely useful only if the drive is recognized by the bios. I was wondering if there was a piece of software out there that could maybe do some sort of low-level operations on the drive even if it's not recognized by the mobo. (Note: complete noob in this arena, decades of other tech experience)
