A Reddit user's old external drive wouldn't power on, and they were about to pay a data recovery company. Instead, Claude helped troubleshoot the connection issue and repaired over 100GB of photos thought to be lost, with only about 15GB truly unrecoverable. The poster calls the subscription self-paying and is eyeing Samsung TV repair threads as a next project.
