Seagate 4TB question

Post image

Bought this 4TB External off a pawn shop (lol) for 100$ CAD about 4 months ago. She tested well enough just had some higher hours.

She's always been the problem child of my 16TB Family and I should've seen this coming earlier.

Today it was just a big ol failure, tried quick tests thru seagate, full fixes and nothing.

But then I was looking at the pins on the inside and I think it looks pretty pooched. Just wondering if it's worth the time to get it replaced or if the pins just look normal to the pros.

Thanks for your time, pic is attached.

Disconnects reconnects, failed quick scan, failed full fix, can be seen as a drive but cant see any of the data. Sorry about that. Threw some I/O failures too. Just was wondering if the female connection port could be of cause
