Last night I helped my son with two hard drives that were not communicating. One was an external USB that was SATA within its enclosure, the other a SATA internal drive. Both it turns out, had varying SATA electronics issues, rendering recovery impossible.

One would perform limited I/O and had a damaged SMART service, the other would not respond to any I/O command on the SATA bus whatsoever.
