Dead hdd

My wife has (had) a Asus ZenBook UX430U with Windows 10. Eventually it updated to Windows 11 (magically, apparently). About six months later, the Asus UX430U couldn't boot. I gave my wife one of my laptops and I am now trying to revive her ZenBook UX430U. I checked it with a rescue USB drive...

Edit: wrote data and not sata by mistake TL;DR - PSU cables mixed by accident, two HDD’s not being detected. A local well trusted recovery company says they can with about 85% security recover my data, but that it will cost 975 USD for EACH drive. Is this a fair price? I feel like it is...

So a few months back one of my internal HDDs started having issues, and it eventually died. It wasn't my C: drive so it dying posed no obvious threat to my OS. So I disconnected it, recovered anything important that I could, and since then I haven't replaced it (I have 2 other HDDs so it's not...

I was gonna buy a hard drive off a friend, but when he was taking it to his pc to format he dropped it on a tiled floor. When he plugged it in, it made a chirping sound but still formatted ok. I have it plugged in and it works ok, but makes some weird sounds. He gave it to me for free so I...

Well, I took the guard's advice and have decided to stop lollygagging on upgrading my gaming PC. Skylake it is! BUT It seems that most, if not all Z170 mobos are having MUCH higher than normal negative reviews. I have usually stuck with ASUS's higher tier motherboards in the past, but like the...
