Cannot Read Data from WD External USB 1TB

[Savan_P]

Evening All,

WD 1TB 2.5" External USB Hard Drive

• The drive is detected in My Computer, spins as usual, however can hear the drive clicking.
• Navigates quite freely through the folder structure and can see all the files (mainly photos), however thumbnails take a long time to show.
• Copy and paste of folders starts and then fails by the copy/paste window just closing.
• Robocopy through cmd works, however many of the files return error codes.

Given that the drive is clicking and I cannot robustly remove the data from it, is there anything else I can do or does it need to be sent off?

Also any recommendations for data recovery specialists?

Thanks
