OK, that's what I was thinking. Thankfully these aren't my drives anyway. Someone gave 3 external USB hard drive enclosures to me to see if I could get any data off them. One of them was fine once I took the drive out, but the other two are screwed. I just thought I'd see if there were any other really good options available out there to try.

I haven't had a drive fail on me in so long it's almost scary. I've even had drives survive a lightning hit that destroyed the computer they were in. (Knocks on wood)
