Hard Drive Issues

I've got a Western Digital Cavier Blue 1TB as a storage drive. Lately it's been making a lot of grinding sounds and occasionally my system can't read/detect it. It's happened again, but this time I can't seem to get it working at all. It's showing up as a listed drive, but I get two error messages. One tells me it cannot be recognized and the other tells me it needs to be formatted. I bought it 3 or 4 years ago, but I haven't used it that much, maybe only for half that time. Any help would be appreciated.

Eh, nothing I can't live without on there. Disappointing though if it really is dead. I just had to RMA a PSU and an AIO a week ago. How much more unlucky can I get.

Hi,

 

I'd like @Boogieman_WD's input on this, maybe there's some way to get the data back...?

 

Anyway, if it does come back online, MAKE A BACKUP IMMEDIATELY.

here is what you do if you want the data back without sending it off

 

- Make a image with ddrescue in linux(i don't know of any other programs that do the same thing)

- Use test disk in linux to repair the data or use photorec to get the files off of it.
