To get the data off of the drive or only repair the drive?
(We've been living in a disposable society for YEARS!)
I recycled my external when it went.

I'd recommend the $760 repair. You get what you pay for.
It's hard to give a price without knowing the problem.
"My car won't start. How much will it cost to get it going?"
"After a careful examination, I see that someone has stolen your engine. It will cost several thousand dollars to get this car running."

Data recovery can cost hundreds.

HDD's are cheap. If you don't care about the data, buy another (I'm partial to HGST).
If it's data recovery, with windows, assuming the drive still spins, FIRST clone it (Macrium Reflect, free). I've then used GetDataBack for NTFS (not free, but has a free demo) to recover data from the image of the corrupted drive.
With a failing or failed drive, you want to minimize access, that's why the clone.
But professional data recovery is EXPENSIVE (as in disassembling the drive in a clean room).

Can you tell if the drive is spinning? Do you hear it making a clicking noise? If it is spinning and there isn't a clicking noise, then the motor and armature (heads assembly) are still okay. If there is no power then it could be the power adapter or the electronics in the external enclosure. The external drive is nothing but a regular hard drive in an external enclosure. If you can get the drive out of the enclosure without too much trouble, you could then connect it up as a secondary drive on a system and see if you can access it. If so, then you can buy an external enclosure for a few bucks and save yourself a good amount of money.

Buy a new hard drive and have any computer shot transfer everything from your old damaged drive to the new one. $50-$75 at most.
My son bought a 4 tb drive, with two months of free Photoshop cloud, for $100 with tax.

Yet again that same old mindless quote, " You get what you pay for."
This obviously still means that you can NOT be overcharged, or robbed, or diddled on any deal.
I'm hearing this BS more and more every day.
Is there ANYONE who actually believes that " You get what you pay for. "?
