Seagate 7200.11 not working

Hi,

Drive:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, 500GB, ST3500320AS, SD15

Background and symptom:
In external SATA enclosure, it spins up, makes the normal reading noise (Not clicking) for 1 second and just keeps spinning quietly...

Trying to see if it is possible to revive the drive and recover data

Not sure the purchase date, I read it could be 0 LBA error or BSY error.

Anyone has experience with this type of issue?
I just hesitate to do anything to make it worse before I know more this subject.

Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Jack
