Hard Drive Recovery

How can I recover data from a crashed external hard drive?

I have a Western Digital hard drive, and it’s been ticking for a couple of days now, and now it won’t even show up on My Computer. There is a TON of music on it, is there anyway to recover the data from it? I know ex HDDs are supposed to be for backups, but if they go bad, what’s the point! My cousin, and now this, both Western Digitals, went bad. I will never buy a Western Digital product again.

Never heard of an external hard drive “crashing”
