Its probably the ribbon cable going to the laser. Sometimes they lose their rigidity and start raising up and hitting the disc. It was super common with ps2. Use some clear packing tape and wrap it around the ribbon to keep it more rigid under the disc area.

We'll see! We still haven't figured out what the value of a KZfaq Short is yet to a creator. What are your thoughts on them?

RIP

Try running scandisk. Hopefully, bad sectors are bypassed. If the reading head is damaged, then a data recovery specialist is required.

Depends on how things fail internally and how the drive detects the issue.

ba dum tis

I've seen a 15k RPM SAS disk head crash and it looked much worse than this.

Both the disks and vinyl records are commonly referred to as "platters".

Probably not. That’s the death of a hard disk.

Some but not all. The data on the areas physically scratched off is gone forever, but the unaffected areas could be recovered if the disk was sent to a data recovery company.

Nope you can't do any thing unless you buy new one

Sadly it's unlikely you'll get your data off of it if the heads crashed like ours did.

I tried recovering the drive itself, since data was mostly gone but for some small files. I tried partitiong the good sectors from the bad. Ended up with 70 partitions. I threw it out after.

Nope. Those very visible track marks on the platters there are visible damage to the magnetic material on the platters. When a head crashes like this, the areas physically affected are basically destroyed, in fact you can see some of the 'dust' in the bottom of the disk enclosure - that's particals of the scraped off magnetic materials.

Depends

Definitely not possible. It’s already scratched. Done for.

​@@Hiatriccould it be that only that head is scratched? i have no idea im new to this

​​@@markobosnjakovic4952platter scratched like in the video = not possible for recovery

What?

$4k to a data recovery company and cross your fingers.

possibly. if you have important data on a drive that has crashed heads like this, stop using it and send it to a data recovery company. They'll tear the drive apart, and remount the platters on a different drive to attempt to recover data.

the repair cost base on the what size u purchase if I'm not wrong because the technician repair this kind hard drive it need to take a long time to read ur all files and u need brought a new one to copy into it from faulty hard drive

No

If this disc change another one then???​@@egg9758

It’s dead, bury it with honors!

I know I already did lol

the disk has a ring from where the head made contact, basically making it unusable

Nope, it’s dead dead.

@@2GuysTek oh dam it

​@@2GuysTek i asked cus i punched my lap tom in posision were is hard disck and now my lap top is sayin things like :Automamic reper, Diagnosing your pc and other stuffs like that

@@2GuysTek HDD PLATTER DAMAGE

I would highly recommend you reach out to a hard drive recovery company to see if they can recover your data. In a situation like the one we show in the short, if your drive is being destroyed by the heads, DO NOT POWER the drive! Package it up safely and ship it off to a company that can pull the drive apart and (hopefully) recover some of your data!

Nope
