randyhersom Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 Further data rot research reveals a statement that the usual point of failure on high capacity external hard drives is the chip set that converts to USB input output, rather than the drive itself. So if your external hard drive fails and either it's out of warranty or the value of the contents is substantially more than the cost of the drive, try to crack open the case and remove the internal hard drive inside. Your data MAY be fine, and you now have an INTERNAL hard drive that contains it. Quote
