No Use Crying Over Lost Data

My external hard drive crashed, so unfortunately I can't continue to make corrections to my previous films. It's also unfortunate that I can't do data recovery due to the fact that no one else on campus has a 2TB hard drive to recover the data on - not even the IT department. So, in lieu of cutting myself, I'm just holding out hope that I can recover the data when I'm able to save up for a new hard drive. It was a desktop external by Seagate, and it did tip over once, but it kept working for three weeks after that. I'm not sure what the problem is since, like I said before, IT didn't have a large enough drive to recover the data on.

If anyone has a good lead on an inexpensive 2TB drive, preferably portable, please feel free to write to me and let me know.
