Welcome to the rock and a hard place zone. It's nice of you to drop by.
There is a place here in California that sells used drives. You may want
to contact them or visit their site. They may have what you're looking
for.

I hope you're able to recover the data. I've been there several times
and can relate to what you're going through.
Sincerely,
