help please! Hard drive busted

There are indeed things that money just can't buy. Although an external Hard drive costs alot, and indeed money can buy it, but the files that are stored inside are priceless. It's like a part of my history, the pictures, the files, or whatever is inside that Hard drive is a part of my being. In my previous posts i said that "WALDO" just died, yep. It's dead, and the worst part of it is that I can't retrieve my personal files from it.  I already talked to several computer experts and did several programs in order to retrieve the files in it but still no avail, they can't retrieve the files inside because the enclosure is dead, so the best way is to transfer it to another working and similar enclosure, but the not so good idea of western digital of pairing the enclosure with the hard drives is lame! It means that the hard drives can only work for the same enclosure that it was packaged with. Geez! But i think partly, i'm also responsible for the mess. I should've have "raid 1" to give more security to the hard drives' files, but due to budget constraints of saving up much memory to avoid buying another hard drive is the one that shit things up.

I really felt bad about it at the same time mad at Western digital for making a defective-expensive-supposed to be reliable-hard drive! And added to the fact that i was trying to do some stuff that got delayed due to the Hard drive crash especially on a supposed to be holiday season, i could've been to the beach or something. My friends in trend micro ph also did a level 2 data retrieval operation but find no readable files in it, although they are using a windows retrieval system but right now they're on a vacation and I have to wait for monday to go to their office and make a shot at using "DATA RESCUE 3" a software particularly for mac that retrieves data from a dead hard drive, sounds cool huh? hope it works, although the guys gave me a bad sign that they're using a multi OS based software for retrieving the files, it should've done the work. Anyway it's worth a shot, i mean it's 4 years of files/life in that hard drive and i won't give up unless i found a way to retrieve them. I feel like a part of my life is missing right now. anybody knows about retrieving files from a busted enclosure of a 2tb WD my book studio 2 edition. please help.
