I remember when we had to manually tell the hard drive to park the heads before shutting down the computer... and if you didn’t and moved the computer even slightly... bye bye data. I nudged he desk once with the computer off and caused a head crash. Trashed a load of Lotus 1-2-3 files I’d been working on. I was NOT happy as the guy who had been on before me told me “Nahhh, you don’t need to park the heads. They probably do it automatically.” But then again, in the late 70’s hard drives were notoriously fragile.

When I worked for a PC manufacturer back in the 80's, the Seagate drives always gave us a lot of problems. IMHO I do question the quality of Seagate but I haven't used them ever since. I do use mainly WD and never had issues with them, where some drives (according to SMART) been running for many years. Interesting to see that without the spacesuit and extremely overpriced charges for some data-recovery companies, a good technician can do a very decent job in recovery/repair. I guess the moto is when you do have a drive-failure and important data: pack it, label it, ship it. And do not touch it, do not screw (pun intended) with it anymore, leave it to the professionals.

Not to sound stupid, but the "patient" drive was a 1RK172-568, and the correct donor ended up being the donner drive that was a 1RK172-568 while the incompatible donner was a 1RK172-070. Wouldn't this be a much better "guess" to use the actual part number vs. a DOM?

It appears to be the part number, which matches the drive marked 8202, and not the C202. The C202 also had different firmware indicated. If I had to hazard a guess as to which was more likely to contain compatible parts, I personally would have gone with the 8202 donor first despite the manufacturing date/location info. I skipped around a bit through the video, as it was a bit too long for me to sit through the entirety... which head stack did he end up using, the C202 or 8202? (Later Edit:) Oh, wait... I misread your comment, you said pre-amp connector, not drive. Yeah, I missed seeing that one. Good catch, now I wonder, too.

46:40 "what the drive is drawing in" - I once had a Seagate drive which fell off a table to the carpet below in a HDD case whilst powered up. It worked nearly normally as a low priority stuff backup drive for some years and then suddenly began clicking. I was about to replace its PCB but suddenly it came back to life once powered up by another PSU. I then checked the original power supply from McAlly and found that it fails to power up most of another HDDs I had back then. So the real reason behind was a PSU deterioration that began to deliver less power than necessary.

I would just like to point out something about the masks. I'm a farmer and I'm speaking from personal experience using these masks when dealing with chemicals. Those masks are only good for an hour or so and then they get wet. When they're wet the filtration is not effective anymore and all the air you are breathing escapes near your cheeks. You could leave them out to dry but that would probably defeat the purpose. Just a friendly fyi. Cheers and keep up the good work!

@marscruz 4 жыл бұрын
@@_PatrickO They also work for germinating germs and cutting the oxygen level that gets into your blood while decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide that you can exhale... since some gets trapped in the space between the mask and your mouth and nose and doesn't just float away like it should. Not healthy for the long term. Don't wear one unless you have to.
@The7thCore 4 жыл бұрын
@@_PatrickO While you are correct, you fail to see the other part of the problem. When the mask is wet all air is moved between the mask side and the cheek. So if for example someone sneezes toward you, their droplets maybe caught in the air flow while you are inhailing. But that would have to be a person without a mask. That is why it's not a good idea to wear a wet mask (at least in my use case with chemicals).
@_PatrickO 4 жыл бұрын
@@The7thCore You are incredibly stupid. When you put your hand over your mouth, the same thing happens. Hands are solid objects. Like it or not, it kills the momentum of the largest particles and thus contains most of what you exhale.

I have suggestion for you. Kind of educated guess. When you worry about type of preamp used in any of those mechanical HDDs, you probably shouldn't. Try replacing the headstack along with the control board it came with, and swap the EEPROM from the patient onto the donor part. I am pretty sure control boards will have different part number difference for each specific preamp. Are you getting my idea?

This is really interesting, for some reason, I always assumed you'd transplant the platters instead of the heads. Any advantage one way or the other?
@Agent24Electronics 4 жыл бұрын
Swapping the heads is easier and safer. In most cases to do a platter swap, the heads would need to be removed first anyway, so you might as well just do the heads. Secondly, in a multi-platter drive you must make sure the platters stay aligned with respect to each other, if they shift then you're not going to have a good time. The head stack can't get misaligned since it's all one piece. Thirdly, the less you have to handle the platters the better. If you damage the head stack, just get another one. If you damage the platters, there's nothing you can do.

Actually, its not jumpers anymore. Thats where the serial terminal interface hooks up to. The factory uses it for programming. And we used to be able to connect a Serial UART to the RX/TX pins and get access to a secret diagnostic terminal. They have since locked it down without a special access code.

Shouldn't you wait to open the patient to confirm the preamp before opening the donor?

Louis got a Radical haircut! Great video BTW, new place looks great! Old one reminded me of some back alley bunker in Siberia.

One of the donor drives matches the exact part number of the patient drive, but you used the other one; could it be that the partnumbers acutally make sense to indicate identical insides?

The other one was two years newer than the patient, the donor was only a month or two different.

@@templebrown7179 yes, I know, but in the end (around the 1 hour mark), he switched to that two year newer drive with matching part numbers and that one did match.

I would probably just take the opinion of the pro over your single observation of a video. Unless of course you legitimately think he's an idiot who can't recognise a basic pattern.
