This is an external portable HDD 750gb, which suddenly has gone kaput. it starts reading/writing at 80 mbps but then within seconds it falls down to 0 and then no respose.

the following are some reports, I am no expert in this area so please guide. is there any scope of it being fixed ? or trash it ?

a few full zeros can often make it reallocate the sectors, but it still wont be a great drive.

write zeros to the whole drive, something like dd in linux will do this or seatools or hdtune on windows.
