Man... I would really appreciate it if you could heart this comment and reply. I have a 12tb drive FILLED with rare stuff and I just ran to grab a ringing phone and the cord caught my leg.. the drive is spinning fine, but the input jack (the jack on the drive case where the USB cable plugs in) - how much trouble am I in in trying to either get that part replaced or at least getting my stuff off of the drive. It's just the jack on the drive case - I imagine the stuff is all undamaged on the drive (fingers crossed) ...as long as that stuff still exists I won't panic quite yet.
I have a WD Elements 107c hard drive, I've had it a few years and plugged it in the other day but no light or noise. If I remove hard drive can I retrieve files from it with a SATA cable?
That depends on what is the underlying issue. If the drive itself is dead then it won’t work even if it pull it out. If the problem is the power or data connection in the enclosure, then yes it should work.
@@HassanAhmed-wt3kc Nope, they’re all the same. Just get a SATA to USB adapter. They run anywhere from $10 to $100 but for your purposes pretty much anything should work fine.
Thanks very much for this. Just what I was looking for with a nice and clear presentation.
I’m glad you found it useful. This is a great way to save money on drives.
Gracias por el video, lo necesitaba

If you open the drive up, can it be put back together again?
Yes.

@@Frostcall thanks I'll check it out, is there a specific kind of SATA cable for WD Elements hard drive?
