I have a drive data forsome reason stopped working.
It seems to be the firmware.
it spins but wont read.
i tried easeus and all type of data recovery software.
i even sent to to a few companies and they couldnt get the ? working to capture the data.
the drive wasnt dropped sothe disks arent scratched...i just keep being told its the firmware...but they cant find a copy of the particular firmware to re-install.
i was told unbuntu can see it but to get the data would be a challenge.
any advice...other than throw the ? away?

I doubt it's firmware if it just stopped working. The drive probably failed but sometimes you can try to force a drive online after it fails. It's only a matter of time before that ? crashes again and it'll probably be harder to get it back online the next time. I'd use ubuntu to mount the drive and move the data over to another drive.
