If it shows ID at BIOS, but not at disk management. Probably there is some issue causing loss of stability. Some relocation error, surface errors, weak recording heads... etc

Probably, but not for free. Expect at least $1000 bill for Seagate to recover it

They do not repair your drive and send it back, they simply replace with a refurbished drive :-(
