Default Re: External Hard Drive Damage..Need Advice :(

It sounds like the drive failed the 3' drop onto carpet test. If you are lucky the heads weren't doing anything when it was swept off the table and nothing was lost once someone can get at the platters. Worst case, you were writting something and the heads plowed a nice furrow in the platters as the drive hit the deck.
