Yes, I definitely agree Seagate is the worse for reliability issues. I had a few die on me as well and one with the click of death.

Luckily I was able to back up the critical and personal data. I used Spinrite to scan my drives once I noticed my drives were having issues; the software started marking bad sectors while scanning the drives and doing some data restores as well. I have replaced them with Western Digital drives since then with no problems.

The data in question, are they very critical that you must have it? If yes, then there are hard drive services companies which could be able to get back the data you require. It's the ones where the customer would send the hard drive to the company. I forgot the costs but it can be very expensive, if you need to take this route.
