Right off the assembly line
Hi,
I have a Windows 8 PC and all was working fine when I was copying data from my 250GB Transcend External Drive to my New WD My Passport 2TB, it was 70GB of Data being copied, simulataneously I copied another folder from a Pend Drive to my Transcend, it stopped & showed some error midway, the folder was showing on my HDD but wasn't opening (Not Responding). The 70GB copy speed too dropped from 18Mbps to 1Mbps and showed an error, I skipped copy of that file and it continued with 2mbps speed, I cancelled the copy and then removed my Transcend from my USB Port. When I reconnected it, I got the sound of connection, and Transcend showed up in the "Devices & Printers" & Safely Remove Menu, but wasn't showing on My Computer (Explorer). I had 20Gbs of most important Data in it that I can't afford to loose, the light of the Transcend is Still which doesn't flicker shows absence of transfer. I tried it on Different computers as well and it was undetected. I am in Bangalore, I have talked to some data recovery services and they said they will charge 3500 for the data recovery and my HDD can't be repaired. They suspect some CRC Error (Cyclic Redundancy Check) which occurs due to the old age of Drive. My Transcend was 3+ years old and remained full nearly all the times. Please help is there any solution or I have to go spend money for the data recovery, coz I can't afford to loose the data, It most important photos & videos.
