Hello! Quick question for y'all. I got a 20 TB Seagate Barracuda recently. I had been using it for under a month in my PC internally, and the other day it simply stopped spinning up. I put it in a USB dock and it didn't work with that either. I can kind of hear a noise when I plug it in, but it's very faint. Maybe it's the motor trying to spin up? Not sure.
Any idea why this could by? I've read about people disabling the 3.3V pin on the SATA power connector with shucked drives - would this technique help with my drive since it was purchased as an internal drive? I would try it, but just left on a trip. Are there any ideas for any other things I could try? I just had some files on the drive I'd like to get back that I hadn't backed up yet.
Thanks so much! I should've bought an enterprise drive. I used to test new drives before starting to use them but fell out of the habit lol.
