NEED HELP PLZ

[ThousandBlade]

Hi all. I've got a mechanical hard dive not showing up in BIOS.

 I noticed this when i tried to start my computer and the boot speed is extreamly slow. like 2 mins slow. Im using a dual ssd raid 0 and a mechanical hard dive for storage. so there's definately sth wrong. when i got into windows i noticed that hard drive is gone. rebooted and it doent even show up in UEFI BIOS. Pulled it out and the boot speed went back to normal.

I've tried to drop that drive in a different computer, doesnt show up in bios.

Tried to use a sata usb thing, does not detect.

tried changing the boot mode to IDE and AHCI, does not work.

But one thing i notices is that that drive shows up in the intel raid controller menu. so that's what's keeping my hopes up that i might be able to do sth about it.

does anyone have any idea on what i should try to do?

Its probably a dead drive. RMA it if you can, and then restore your backups.

I have some really important data on it. Is there anyway at all that i might be able to get some data recoverd from it?

Send it to a data recovery place. They can normally get your data back, but its about 300 bucks.

warrenty passed on that dive last month..... CRY....

I guess Im not buying another WD  drive anymore lol, I have like 10 year old hard drives that are still working, and that dive is barely seen any use.

THX for the help
