If this hard drive fails, can I recover the data stored?
My WD external hard drive failed. How do I recover the data stored?
You could take it to a computer repair shop and see if they could get your files off, or you could do it yourself. I had an external drive that broke once, and I had to take it apart and put the drive in my computer. Luckily, it wasn't the actual drive that failed it was the board in the drive enclosure. If it is your drive, most of your data probably could be recovered, but you would have to take it to someone who does that, and I heard it isn't cheap.
