(To be) bricked Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 hard disks

I have also an hdd with that problem.
The original Nokia CA-42 cable is 50€ expensive. There are cheaper "clones" but i heard that the clones have different or no colours on the cables inside.

Seagate customer service does not repair hdds, you get a new comparable one (without data.) For data rescue, they charge a few hundred bucks.
