“I have a 1TB Seagate external hard drive that I always used to store my
favorite songs, movies, photos, etc. But today when I try to save some
photos from my computer to the external hard drive, after plug the
drive, the system doesn't pop up the drive folder as usual, and even
when I enter to This PC and right-click on the Seagate hard drive, the
hard drive shows 0 bytes from the properties, I've asked the
external hard drive repair
service near me, however, the hard drive recovery cost is so much
expensive that I cannot afford, can you please suggest a cheaper
recovery tool to help repair my Seagate external hard drive, thanks."
Asked from Teduhatoq, one of the customers from Bitwar on August 26,

external hard drive turns to RAW drive, that's why he found the Seagate
external hard drive shows 0 bytes on the properties page. If you do have

have to suggest you first that please do not format the external hard
drive!
Format

chance to perform full recovery on the drive. Secondary, external hard
