Unresponsive HDD, need advise on how to clone it to an SSD
Unresponsive HDD, need advise on how to clone it to an SSD
TL;DR HDD is dying, need a solution to transfer the data to another drive
In march 2021, I bought a 8TB Seagate Barracuda Compute on amazon, the drive was delivery in a shitty state (not even boxed) but functional.
Yesterday the drive is now giving the last breath, sometimes pc pc can only go past post if the drive isn't installed, had to buy an SSD (Samsung 870 QVO) that will only be delivered in December
Now I'm just waiting to get the SSD so I can (hopefully) transfer everything from the HDD to the SSD

Does it show up on the system? If you want to diy it I'd give ddrescue a shot and see if it can get most of the data. DDrescue is made for failing drives and can restart, and try to get bad parts of the drive later on.
