What's the exact model of the SSD?

Made a mistake it's an HDD
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/78/3.....d4e727591d.jpg
4000gb and a model for a desktop
I sadly don't know hot to check for a specific model name as the computer was built for me by a friend and he put all the parts in

It should be where it says SN on the label
Does the disk spin at all? Or is it totally bricked?

SN: Z300DXET
I'm not sure if it spins. Like I said, I've had no idea what to look for when it comes to problems with my hardware
Removing the drive was all I could figure to do and my tower now boots up semi-normally, but the data's missing and a lot of core elements that were designed in don't appear anymore.

If you've got it laying around, an external plug in solution would be a good way forward for extracting data if possible.
If the disk still boots up you may want to run a free online utility, this video sums up the process pretty okay.

If it doesn't spin up I don't know how to help

Will do! Thank you so much for the information!

Also, don't forget to check if you have a warranty of the HDD. You could get it replaced

I will definitely watch this and hopefully I can glean some needed information here.

I’ve sent you a message. Ive done a few days recoveries before.

Data*

If you can get it to boot, the 'User' folder just past the C: drive tends to contain most of the PCs files minus the programs needed to open them, and those tend to be trickier to just yank out and still have em work.

It sadly doesn't boot at all when the HDD is connected to the tower :/
It tries to start up, goes through the first screen or so, and then starts chirping at me for a bit before trying to boot itself again.

Hey Takeo! I had my BF send this over to me and i work in IT and fixing cellphones/laptops for a living.
So this is mostly theoretical. BUT Chirping i assume is going to be a hardware failure and recommend not trying to boot the device much more if you can help it, and seeing as its not talking to the tower at all. i wouldn't risk it.

I would go to https://rossmanngroup.com/ They do data recovery for HDD's and if its a hardware issue they can definitely get it done, but also if a part just needs to be replaced that would be the most optimal thing because all they would do is replace the piece that went bad inside the HDD safely and get it back to you.

If any doubt, you can check out their youtube and WATCH them do it. now its still spending money either way. But if you're not able to boot up the drive and the PC is NOT seeing or communicating with the device i would not plug it in and ship it out as it COULD cause more harm than good. Just make sure to pack it well and follow any other instructions.

What i could recommend later though is the 4,000GB or 4 TB HDDs can have a higher failure rate than traditional 2TB HDD's. and to stick with that. THEN if you would wish to have a larger drive, it should only be for backing up whats currently on the PC.

TLDR; I wouldn't reccomend from here on out if you're not getting the HDD to show up on the PC, dont connect to it because it can further damage the HDD. Send to dude i listed above. Rossman of rossmangroup, and get a quote. andsuggested to have 4TB as a backup drive and 2TB for a normal every day use drive. <3 I hope this helps at all.

woops. something to add is this the beeping noise? https://youtu.be/hUTPLWSjW_c?t=34
Because thats the Rossmangroup i was referring to showing you their process of how to do it.

Unhappily, those prices are pretty accurate for clean room work.

Something you CAN try, is to find a working twin to your dead drive, take the interface board off it and attach that to your dead drive and hook that up to pull your data off the dead drive. There's no guarantee that it'll do it.
