The hard drive has been damaged and is now defective. It has 2 drives so it may be possible to salvage one of the drives. This is why i always recommend the 2.5" drives because they are made to handle a lot more shock. A standard hard drive is not meant to take any shock at all especially in use.
Thanks,
Lee
