I have a Seagate Barracuda 3TB ST3000DM001 PCB Board 100664987 Rev B.
I took a short 30 second video of it's bootup and sounds.

My question is, does this sound like a board problem?

Just wanted some other opinions before I spend $50 on a board.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Bryan

Most likely not PCB related failure. Sounds like bad heads, but also possible media damage.
Needs cleanroom work examination.

Any way to recover the data without sending it out to a data recovery company?

Theoretically yes, however it would imply gaining a bit of knowledge and experience. Then you would need parts and solid equipment to cater to the drive's condition. Is it feasible to pursue this under these circumstances in your case? Not sure, only you could answer that.

First step is determining the failure(s). Many reputable companies offer this for free.

Orbitter,
I am in the same boat you are. I have the exact same drive with the exact same sounds from your youtube. I was quoted over 700.00 to recover the data from a clean room. ugggg

that sounds about right.

$700 for a 3TB Seagate drive with damaged heads is a bargain. I would expect 2-3 times that.
