Apologies if this has already been sloved, i tried searching but none match the symptoms of my harddisk.

I have a WD 2 TB hard drive, the drive is able to spin up and able to open immediately upon plugging in. I can see the files in the hard disk but is unable to open even a 40kb file. Copying files will start for 2secs and drops to 0bytes/s. I do hear faint click sound.

Is there anything worth to try before going down to simlim to get slaughtered?

Since it is still accessible, google for data recovery software and try it out.
