Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA/External Hard Drive Repair / Recovery / Unbrick
You Don't Have to Prepay!!!
Does your hard drive have any of the following symptoms?
- Drive is not recognized by the computer
- Drive is recognized but reports size of 0 bytes
- Drive reports SMART errors on boot
As long as the drive is still powering up (spinning up) without any clicking noises or grinding, than your drive can be repaired and all of your data will be intact.
Due to faulty firmware Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA drives lock up and fail to be detected by the bios. Fortunately the drive is still mechanically fine and the data is all still there. This affected retail SATA drives, OEM drives, and external drives from the 7200.11 family.
If you drive is an external drive and it sounds like is still spinning fine with no clicks or grinding but it is not recognized by the OS (windows, etc.) than it may be due to this faulty firmware.
External drives can be fixed also, but it requires removing the drive from the external enclosure which voids the warranty from seagate.
