I don't get why they should all vanish in one go. Unless there is a problem with all the heads and all the platters then you should still be able to recover a lot of data. But what do I know, I returned an 8TB drive three weeks ago after it started developing bads and soon crashed with 2TB of workload in less than 24h of runtime. First the OS did not see it, then the BIOS stopped seeing it and now I think I won't see it any more. Good to know it has 5 years warranty but it shattered my trust in the model.
