Lol no. 3 years of picturs

disks or solid state?

I sent mine to File Savers Data Recovery. Cost depends on what is wrong with the drive. They will check it out and let you know before they proceed. Mine wasn’t cheap to recover, but the files were worth it.

Open it up and remove the drive, identify the type of connection (most likely eSATA but could be IDE if 7+ years old). There’s desktop and laptop size connectors for both types. Get a new drive-free enclosure of the same connector type and pop it in (there are some devices for connecting drives externally that contain all 4 types of connection). If that doesn’t work, then you can try a drive recovery service but they’re pricey and there’s no guarantee of recovered data.

The drive inside is removable and very unlikely you broke anything on the drive itself because it doesn’t move with respect to the enclosure. Get a new enclosure.

Random thought, but has anyone ever lost data on the cloud? Google drive, iCloud, etc?
