I have this Seagate 2.5" HD that stopped working without a warning, and I need to recover some data from it.
When I connect it to a hot swap SATA port, it works for a few seconds, and I can even browse folders and see what I need to recover, but then it simply shuts down 2 or 3 seconds later.
It feels like it's some sort of firmware fail-safe, shutting down the disk to prevent further damage or something, but at the same time it's preventing me from recovering data. I don't know what to look for online to access this problem so I'm dropping this question here.
Does anyone know what's going on and what I could do to recover data from this disk?
I'm considering buying one of same model and replace the circuit to see what happens but I'd rather not spend this money without knowing if it will do the trick.
