And you think it is going to explode...why?

What measures have you taken to copy that data off to some other device?

Quit using the drive and contact a few data recovery companies and get quotes for how much your lack of backups is going to cost you.

Smoke == it is far too late for you to do anything with it. Stop screwing with it.
If there is life changing critical data on it....send it off to some data recovery company.

This will cost actual money.

I will admit, where I have had a lot of hardware fail over the years including up to letting out the magic smoke, I have yet to have a HDD do so. Impressive that it will power on at all.

Is this an internal or external drive? What is the model?
