IвЂ™m assuming youвЂ™ve already tried disc recovery software? Software will likely recover your assets as long as the drives themselves are not physically damaged. Regardless, best of luck retrieving your data. I really donвЂ™t think itвЂ™s the drive, but likely the controllers or the Power Supply in all those cases.

WeвЂ™re in the process of moving all our assets off of those LaCie drives to a NAS Archive and then weвЂ™ll likely dismantle the LaCieвЂ™s and use the bare drives as hot-swaps in our Server storage. Sometimes it takes multiple tries to get this to work, but it eventually does. Then quickly turn the drive off and on again while itвЂ™s still spinning. Our best TLC solution has been to turn on the drive an allow it to get to itвЂ™s вЂњstopping pointвЂќ where itвЂ™s not making any more progress. They spin up and sound like the heads are accessing content, but it never shows up.Д«asically the only solutions weвЂ™ve found are to either replace the Power Supply (works in most cases) or show a little TLC. With ours, the hissing has gotten worse over the months until the drives no longer show up in finder.

If you notice, they probably hiss when plugged in. The problem weвЂ™ve found has been most often relegated to the Power Supplies. ItвЂ™s very frustrating and because of it we wonвЂ™t be buying any more LaCie drives. We have 4 LaCie drives which have this sort of problem intermittently. I am good with this solution if there is not some other step(s) I can take to get this thing working long enough to get my prized materials off before sending it in for warranty repair.ДЄnyone else been successful working around this issue? The drive is under warranty but LaCie says вЂњdata will not be returnedвЂќ and to contact Drive Savers for that process.

The drive was backed up immediately after all our footage was captured but over the course of the edit process (on several different systems) more ancillary footage and elements were added to the drive and the problem occurred just as I was preparing to update the backup.

It sounds like the drive is spinning up when powered on but again wonвЂ™t mount. I have tried different cables, different ports, different power supplies, different computers and positioning my eyes and legs differently while doing all these things only to be met with the same result.

The drive will only show up in the system profiler as an unknown device.
