Seagate Replica Drive Problem!

Hey Rs hopefully someone can help me out with a very frustrating problem

My gf has this hard drive (she uses a pc)
Seagate Replica External Hard Drive | Seagate

She loaded a bunch of pictures onto it and now a couple weeks ago when she went to go look at them she noticed that the folder she has placed into the drive had disappeared.

Now all that shows in the folder are 4 things
autorun.inf
Rebit folder (inside this folder
Seagate folder (contains registration info)
setup.exe

inside the Rebit folder i think holds the data we are looking for
there are three folders within : Data/sbin/tmp

the problem is that within the data folder it is split up in to CFS and DB

bare with this complicated mess, and finally in the CFS folder there are tons and tons of alphanumeric folders that cannot be opened

i have tried everything to open these files and no luck. Have done the "uncheck hidden folders etc"

I use a mac. I ran stellarphoenixrecovery and found about 1900 pics but the software is unbelievably slow and after 2 hours had still not "scanned" the drive.

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
There is nothing but pics/videos on the drive
I've tried contacting seagate but no luck

what a terrible product name..haha...

looks like your drive is dead. You can start exploring some data recovery software and run it to see if it can recover anything.
