5+ year old 3TB drive (WDBYFT0030BBK) and the white light is blinking but the PC doesn't recognize it. Been working fine for years with no problem. MiniPartitionTool doesn't recognize it either but when it's plugged in and the cable is removed from the PC there is a sound of recognition but nothing ever comes of it. Any way to save the data on it? I do have the data on my PC and just ordered a new drive but I was wondering if it was salvagable.
