My WD External Drive crashed, stopped working when the AC plug was pulled from the outlet. Now, I cannot get it to do anything so I took it to have it checked out & the techs could not figure anything out. They said it can be scanned to see if the files can be recovered & charge me $300.00 to pull the files out. 

Is there really anything that can be done to save files on external drives when my computer will not recognize the drive. I have many files of photos that I would like to salvage if possible. 

Thanks for any help.
