Have you contacted Seagate to see if the drives are eligible for
Rescue Data Recovery Services?

Screw seagate with a hot branding iron., they used the marketplace to
test a tech that wasn't ready for prime time and likely never will
be. In my employment history I learned a thing or two about helium as
I probably tested the pressure regulatores that gave John Glenn his
first rides, primarily that man has no material that will contain it,
the molecule is so small it walks right thru 2" of monel metal, about
10% of it a day.. Seagate filled those drives with helium because it
allows the head to fly closeer to the disk, but a month later the
helium was gone. Then it turned out they were shingled, meaning the
tracks were partially overlapped. They used me for a lab rat and I
damned sure didn't appreciate that, not when it was my $250. Seagate
will never again get a penny from me.
26 years of lost data is huge. If you can ship your failed drives to
Seagate and get back new drives with all or part of your data, then
that is worth a try. Fill out the Seagate web page for each drive,
submit, and see what happens. Document everything.
What is the make and model of the failed drives? I see your
complaints in the mail list archives starting around May 30, 2022, but
not those details:
I was so pissed at the time I pitched them into the trash that they
were. They simply dropped off the end of the cable, and the bios
couldn't find a trace of either. Cable good, probably got a drive (SSD)
on it right now.
