The pictured hard drive failed and left its owner in bad shape. If anyone has an old disk sitting around that’s the same make and model, it might help up in data recovery.
IBM Deskstar DTLA-307045

The missing text in the overexposed area says “Deskstar.”
If you have one of these, please let me know. We could give you 10X what ebay would give (for one found locally and know to work). Or you could donate it because you pity the guy and have been in this same predicament. :)

You may have found these already, but ebay has a couple of them.

Expensive, but probably worth it.

Wow! I guess we couldn’t afford to give 10X what ebay would.
