Need help.
Failure Code: 9GANTK-8JK9AK-MFPUQ1-60VS03.
Seeking information on the potential to recover or do I just need to replace the HDD and count the data as a loss?
I am open to ideas and or suggestions.
Thank you.

Failing the Short DST test is not very promising. If it passed Short but failed the Long DST I would be more optimistic about saving data. Depending on how important your data is you might still give it a shot. Remove the hdd and attach it to a SATA to USB Adapter. Plug into usb port of another machine. If there is any life left in the drive you should be able to browse it for User folder and copy your files over to drive of host machine.
