Hi all,

I'm really disappointed, I got this HDD 4 months ago (warranty has run out at bestbuy) and it's failed on my. EaseUS Partition Master is showing me 100% sector failure. Can't wipe it, can't access anything in it at all with it, linux or windows tools. So I have a fancy paperweight I guess.

My next steps - should I consider taking it to some kind of repair place? I imagine it would be worthwhile to fix it rather than get a new one. Or is something like this just unfixable?

Thanks all.
