My 1tb seagate expansion desktop external drive seems to be dying. Its only a year old but i've filled it upto 90% of its capacity and that is when the problem started. Drive will show in my computer, disk management and even folders/files are visible/accessible but somehow i cant copy them. If i try copying, i'm slapped with extremely slow transfer speeds as below. Besides that it wont read some of the files so i have to skip them
I have even tried recovery programs and all of them recognized the drive properly but couldnt recover anything. I am on windows 7 x64 and I feel there is a problem with the usb enclosure and so i want to pry it open and connect to the computer just like an internal drive. Can i do that without voiding the warranty? (in warranty till nov 2013)
I am also attaching screenshot of HD Tune pro here. I have some important photos to be backed up but not all of them are readable right now. What do i do?
