Good day everyone. I recently damaged my WD EasyStore 20TB drive while it was plugged in to my desktop. I had it on an uneven surface and it slipped on its side. My desktop can no longer recognize the drive. I took it to a data recovery company near me but they couldn’t fix the drive or recover the data because the drive is hermetically sealed with helium. The heads have been knocked off course, and without being able to open and replace these damaged components, there is no path to the data.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution? Are there any companies that can troubleshoot despite this issue?

Thanks in advance!
