Question: Hi – I have a 6 month old LaCie STFY10000400 10 TB d2 Professional Thunderbolt 3 hard drive, it’s been great until this morning when I tried to access it after a few days away and it won’t turn on. I have tried 2 different power cables, unplugged it and plugged it back in and tried holding the power button down for a few seconds. The blue light flashes very briefly and then nothing happens. HELP! I am on a Mac, Mojave OS. The drive is less than half full.
Answer:It is likely but 2-3 screws and some gentle prying to get it open, I’d guess…
I’d consult with 300 dollar recovery ASAP if this data is important…
Or, you might be able to buy a 2nd one (you might have contemplated this anyway if your current one died?) and swap drives….(no certainty there, and it would NOT work if drive was hardware encrypted by the enclosure’s circuitry/PCB…
