Not sure if this is the right place to post, if it isn't please direct me to where. I've got a Seagate Barracuda Compute (ST4000DM004) 4TB 3.5" disk that's otherwise pretty new but stopped working after falling on wood floor from ~3.5ft high (I had it in a dock, which got yanked off the desk by its power cord). I've given up on getting any of the data from it, but if I could I'd like to get the drive working again to use for menial tasks (game disk, update cache for my server, or something else non critical). The read head keeps moving back and forth and making an unhappy clicking noise. Anyone know how I can fix this? Replace something? Thanks!
