Had drives fail on me, Sky+ box drive, and drive in a Yamaha HD/CD recorder fail, I replaced the Yamaha one, the Sky one I just replaced the box. I keep back ups of computer HDs but to be frank the best back ups are the original physical item, though with downloads and digital photos that is no so easy.
I have audio tapes going back at least 40 years and most I have tried seem to be still ok, but these too will fail in time
I have a few WD HDs not good that folks have had problems with them. Most brands seem to have issues, Seegate having maybe more than others reported.
I hope you recover your data. That Yamaha drive has lots of cool music on it, lost
