I have a WD my passport external HDD that I dropped and it's not working now. Connect to PC can only hear beep sound and unable to read the data. Is there any recommended shop to retrieve my data inside and store into my thumb drive? I don't need to repair the item, just retrieve and transfer to thumb drive can already.
What's the estimated cost if it's available?

GG,
Cost is a few Thousand Dollars.
Data Recovery not Guarantee.
HDD once drop = GG.

Look for OnTrack. They are the WD data recovery recommended place.
