.....it was a bright sunny day. Sidd sitting at the computer preparing to back up a hard drive.....when disaster strikes. The external drive starts making the clicking sound of death....Aggghhh 2 TB of data gone... which was all of the RAW video I shot for 2015. I will keep the drive until I can afford to send it to one of those places that can recover the data...(e.g. Their expensive ) Sidd

You mean Sidd doesn't back up his data every week? No wonder Sidd is vicious.
Sorry. Don't mean to sound insensitive. I've crashed a couple myself. But it only took one to convince me the importance of a good backup.

The ironic thing was that I was just preparing to do the backup. I took a screen print of the drive and was just starting to backup...and poof. I have a lot of the drive backed up on different drive....except the raw video files from 2015... I am crushed.

So sorry to hear what happened, Sidd. That sounds like just my kind of luck. And of course, the drive couldn't have started going out slowly, giving you a chance to get your files copied. It had to be a catastrophic failure.

Thank you Dave....sad to say chuck all I get is a clicking sound. Unit appears to power up and just click. I have backup's of everything except the raw video I shot during 2015 which ends up being about 1 TB. I have found a service that can restore the files but they are really expensive. I even tried plugging the drive into a USB 2.0 slot, nothing. I then tried a different computer and it asked me if I wanted to format the drive so I just unplugged the drive. It was a Buffalo 2TB USB 3.0 drive. Uggh is the best word I can use to describe the feeling. I think it feels worse because I was sitting down to do a backup when it happened.... How do I feel?....

Wow, Sidd, I'm so sorry to read this. I can relate to the feeling. I accidentally erase about a TB worth of captured video last year. I was feeling sick and wanted to throw up as I realized what I had done. Fortunately, I was able to recover all the files ( or at least I think so ). The recovery process created a real mess on my computer because this was my main drive and I had to basically start over with everything. Not a good feeling I hope you find a way to recover your files.

Sidd as a Vimeo Plus member your uploads are kept as your original file. The Basic membership only keeps those 1 month. I know this isn't the same as the captured video. I am really bad at backups. One rule I have for myself is to not delete the card until I do a backup. I have multiple cards for each camera and rotate their usage. They are labeled 1, 2, 3 which is helpful when we go on trips. I jot down what is on each card. If I am shooting photos just for fun and not important then I do delete the cards before a backup.

I do the same thing. I hope you get it recovered, Sidd. It is possible that it could be an enclosure problem. You could try fitting it into a different enclosure or connecting with a dock.

Ouch! So sorry, Sidd!
What Peru said. Re-try connections with different cables, maybe.
