⚠️Main Work Ext HDD at risk of full on failure⚠️ (Patreon)

❗The main 4TB Ext HDD I use for my 3d model art/work is currently failing to read and making faulty sounds.

The total risk is the loss of a Year and a half+ of data, just gone and setting me back tons.

Model Data, Textures and any other programs I ran from it could be lost if I don't find a way to get the thing to at least read long enough so I can recover the files onto a backup drive(which I have at the ready if the main drive ever reads...).

The faulty ext drive is a WD 4TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive HDD, the disk head was not stuck on the disk/platter and the drive itself isn't spinning like the un-updated-backup drive can.. Dead silence now. The disk itself internally looks undamaged at the moment.

❗ugh seems like its the hdd motor, the cable connector I purchased didn't get it to spin. I have the correct cable as well. SATA to USB 3.0, Neeyer SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable for 3.5 Inch HDD/SSD with 12V/2A Power Adapter, 20 Inch. 

❗Next step is sending it to professionals to get the data. *I will now be shipping it off to Fields Data Recovery. I can only get a accurate Price Quote after they diagnose the issue when they receive the hardware. It was tough finding and picking a company thus far.

❗My other WD Ext HDD from my time spent on my MSI Laptop is still operational and is only backed to around Sept 2019, but worst case scenario, at least I have something.

I'll will continue to keep you all updated.

and as always, Thank You for the support.
