Have a try with Piriform's Recuva, here's a copy-paste from another post about something similar to this:
"I pulled my own 1TB Seagate expansion drive apart after the USB terminal broke and I found it contained a SATA HDD which I plugged into my computer, I had to format it however, but it's been working fine in my computer for a year or so."
