Legacy External Drive

I have a Legacy external drive WD2500B019 and this was the last thing I ever expected to fail.

Now the drive is making a clicking sound and it will not come up to speed. The orange/blue light is flashing and I can’t access any of my data.

Does anyone know if there is a way to recover what I had or fix the drive. There appears to be no screws or method to open the drive from the outside.

Any thoughts?

Hi, sorry to hear you cannot access your files, there are several data recovery companies you can contact. Check the link below.
