As of this morning my main anime HDD won't connect to my TV or PS4. It's about 16 months old and I've never had any trouble with it, it's a 2TB external formatted to EXFAT (as for some reason that's all PS4s read).I took it to my desktop and while Windows see's there's a disk attached it can't access it.
My linux laptop can see the files, but mpv could only play about 30% of the files I tried. I tried to use SFTP to transfer them from the HDD to my Mac, but kept on stalling.
I'm pretty sure the drive is fucked, which is a shame as I have some good shit on there, but is there any chance of recovering shit from it?
sounds like mechanical failure. looks like you will have to redownload to another drive. thats not hard, its just your autism making you want to keep all those readily available shows on one device

ok, i think is correct and you'd be better off just re-downloading all of those shows to a new hard drive. rescuing your drive is likely to cost more time and/or money than just buying a new drive and redownloading those shows does the drive make any noises when you plug it in or try to access it? you could open it up and see whether or not the heads are wonky somehow but i dont think you'd be able to fix a hardware fault that easily redownloading 400GB of anime doesnt take more than a day unless you have 3rd world data caps or 3rd world speeds
The only thing you should do with a failing drive is to get the data of it, not try to play shit with MPV
First you need to get the disk out of the enclosure and directly connect it to a PC. The USB to SATA converters in those are complete shit and can't take errors very well. Heck they might even cause the problem.
Now, S.M.A.R.T. data can tell you the status of the disk and why it is failing, use either of these commands.
Whatever is accessible on the drive, copy over to a backup drive. Start working on recovering everything else. That the drive is readable but hangs on certain files is worrisome. Odds are that you have a fucked drive, and you'd want to hire someone if you're serious about saving the drive. For future fuckups, do some research in longterm storage (Seagate is known to sell shit), have (redundant) backups that you have tested, and make redundant backups at the drive level (set up scripts to save files to multiple locations, one you intend to access often, others simply for redundant backup).
