Raw Read Error Rate hardware problem

[HadK]

I have a 1TB WD external hard drive, it is not recognized any more by the PC, but it is visible to the Disk Management (as “Disk 1 unknown, Not initialized, Unallocated”). I used “WD Drive Utilities” program to check what is the problem and the result is “SMART failure” using the “Run Drive Status Check”. The other tests did not work.
To find a more specific check results, I used two freewares “HDD Scan” and “DiskCheckup”, and both gave me the same results regarding the SMART which is as in the figure below. I want to know what is the exact hardware that is causing this problem. I need just to replace it with a new one to get my data back and then I am not going to use this drive any more.
Note: the Hard drive broke suddenly and I did not drop it or something like that.

I appreciate any help, thank you so much.

Hi,

I have never tried this. Let’s see if a user who has experience can comment on this.

Just in case, here’s a list of data recovery agencies recommended by Western Digital.
