external hard drive

[Nmikey89]

I have a external drive drive that stop working a couple months back and I took my external hard drive out of the casing to see if I can get it to work using the apricorn adaptor but it's not working. However my computer shows that it's plug in but its not reading at all

Nothing you can do shy of spending 100s or 1000s of dollars on data recovery.

Only other thing you can try is to plug it in direcelty to a dekstop using the sata conneciton instead of a usb-sata adapter

I see... I wanted to just recovery my data on the external but it looks like I have no option

Do you feel the drive spinning up when its attached to power?

Yes I did but it is not responding to the computer and I have a External hard drive not a hard drive so am guessing that they are built differently. I plug my original hard drive from my laptop inside another computer and it worked but my external hard drive doesn't.
