Greetings. I realize there is a Hitachi specific form here, but I'm not sure this belongs there.

I own a Netgear Stora "NAS" device. I thought my issue with connectivity was the well known end of life for that device. So, I removed the hard drive. Turns out, the drive itself is "frozen".

I have several SATA HDD's which i've not used in several years. This is one of them. I bought a USB / SATA adaptor to explore my old data. When I attempted to do so with this particular drive, no luck. It simply makes no sound when the power is turn on, on the USB adaptor, unlike other HDD's the same age which are functioning fine.

I scanned an image of the top of the drive for the numbers, etc. Not sure how to share it w/out picture file upload option.

Please advise. Thank you!

I don't fully understand your problem, so it's better to talk with a specialist. If you need one, try to get in contact with https://www.salvagedata.com/hard-drive-recovery/. They are the best of this kind and in this domain. On top, they have a lot of locations, so it will be easier to get in contact with them. I'm sure if you check their site, you will be pleasantly surprised, and you can even find an answer via their posts on the blog. I usually find many of my answers there, so I'm sure you'll find them too.
