I have a drive that has failed and under warranty - WD10EARS.
There was no obvious noise attributed to this failure, click, whirl, spin up or spindle, the drive just wouldn’t work one day and seems dead and I have the feeling it’s maybe a PCB failure.
Trouble is the data on the drive wasn’t backed up (not my fault ) - will WD just replace the drive or can we try a “new” (I know its no as simple as that) PCB (component)?..re no backups.
