Were they all in the same machine? The regular hard drives I'd normally say "eh, *** happens" but if the SSD died as well, might be your MB.

EoL are the HDDs spinning up at all? I have tons of different programs that we use for data recovery for our students. Obviously the HDD has to power on for that to happen.

one has a loud clicking that goes on. I know that one... itd be hard to recover. might try and do a manual switch over (those scare me... I have done it once before. Moving the actual plate with everything over. ) This one is less important. The other one powers on. but makes a very high pitched whining that I know is also not good and often, if it hasnt failed yet, will mean failure soon. I just ordered a Sata to USb adapter to see if these HDDs come up on someone elses computer. If they do, my mobo is bad and I MAY be able to save some data! I am finally less pissed off about the situation and am thinking more rationally. hahah I really do love dealing with all these problems, but when it all happens at once, and to me... no me gusta.

Yeah, that's a hell of a coincidence for three HD's to go out at once, not that it can't happen. You might check with the tech department at your school, if they don't have an official program to help students in your predicament, one of the staff/students might be willing to lend a hand. If nothing else they might be willing to extract your school work so you're not totally screwed.

it is possible. I am seriously banking on something having got corrupt in the SSd cuz I don't wanna lose that one purely for how much it would cost to replace. lol. As for the other HDDs, I am currently out of school, BUUUUT back when I was in school, I came across a problem I couldn't fix, brought it in, they dropped my mac and bent in the corner. Soooo, Never again. ahha

I got lucky once and was able to save a years worth of my photos by making the main drive a slave drive, after installing a new os on a new drive. Buy a cheap hdd to try it with , hopefully you. Can save some of your data.
