    ...there aren't too many other sounds from modern life that can evoke the same rippling spine chills and horrific gut twisting as those from a failing or failed HDD. *_Especially_* when they occur after a reboot and you realize just how long it has been since your last backup... **shivers**

    Brings back memories. I was the guy who was in charge of a TI 990/12 with two DS80 'platter' drives (only 20Mb each!). I used to change heads on those. The head units were the size of a large soup ladle.

    I bought 5 of these drives as backup to my RAID. The only time they got used was when I filled the drive from my RAID, then left it to one side for when I ever need to restore my RAID if the RAID ever failed. A year later I needed to recover my RAID and tried to offload all my data from the Seagates. All 5 drives failed like this and Seagate claimed they were all out of warranty. Now I don't buy Seagate ever again. They are the worst manufacturer of hard drives I have ever come across. How they can make drives which don't even last the time it takes to read off all data just once is beyond me. How are they still in business?

      I used to be a Seagate fan boy.. I've bought hundreds of their drives over the past 15 years. I would tell everyone that their drives were the only reliable drives available. (Going all the way back to the SCSI days) After buying 7 of these ST3000DM001 drives and having all but 1 fail I will never buy Seagate again. They have permanently lost me as a customer. And their response to the ST3000DM001 debacle has been to sweep it under the rug. Worst company ever. Now I go out of my way to tell everyone to never buy from this company.

    Great video ,can you not build yourself a pwm circuit using a relay then set the on/off contacts to short and adjust the frequency of the relay contacts to get around what you need .that way you get 10 20 or 50 short contacts per second .or do you need to hold the short state for a time to work just an idea if you do this procedure regularly.

    External hard drive users, sometimes switching to another fixed USB port will work. I connected my external HD to an external 4-way port and I had the click of death. I next used a port directly built into the pc and it worked as usual. It seemed that not enough power was flowing into the external port? I noticed I had issues with other equipment using the external add on ports. Though the external drive did work in the fixed USB port, I transferred the files to my PC and will be buying flash drives or a new solid-state external drive. Good luck, everyone.

    @Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been reading articles about mechanical hard drives. The Seagate, 3 terabyte hard drives were * FAMOUS * for dying.
    Back in 1992, there was a labor dispute between Seagate and the Thai workers, which started when some fat fingered employee entered the wrong amount on a computer. Pay receipts said employees were entitled to more money than they actually were. Instead of working things out with their employees, the Seagate managers fired 600 people!
    In 2000, Seagate incorporated in The Grand Cayman Islands, a well known tax haven. Even though their headquarters was actually in Scotts Valley, California.

      Seagate has their own Data Recovery Service. I wonder if they have their own backdoor commands to unlock the drive. I doubt they have to go through the same hack of shorting the terminal read pins which is different for every pcb.

    Very useful video. I had a seagate SSHD drive start clicking on me about 6 months ago, it still worked but I was worried. Luckily it was covered under warranty still. I sent it in to seagate and got a replacement only a couple days later.
    I now have a 2tb WD Green drive that works, but it clicks every 10 seconds pretty much on the dot. Luckily, I replaced it with a 6tb WD Black drive this week. I'm going to reformat that 2tb drive and see if the clicking stops.

      Ive spoken with Adam and explained to him that my drive is in a NAS. I have two 3Tb Segate Barracudas but only one is faulty with the clicking head problem mentioned in this video. He asked if it was Raid 0 or Raid 1 and im sorry but i cant remember. I set it up for maximum capacity with zero redundancy. :/ I know bad choice and im regretting it now. Anyway Adam went on to explain that recovering the data from these drives is very unlikley with a 1 in 10 success ratio. He said its the plater thats the problem and not the heads and that even if you replace the heads due to the problem with the platter it will within a few minutes damage the new heads which is not long enough to recover the 6Tb of data. Also when asked for a quote on a successfull data recovery he said it would be £800 or about $1200 I guess which is not feasable for me in my current financial situation. So what are my options ? How expensive would it be to attempt this myself ? I looked for the Head seperator tool and its crazy money for all it is. As for a PC3000 im expecting it to be horrendously expensive also. What can you suggest for someone interested in the topic of data recover with maybe an interest in making a living out of it from your own personal experiances ? Thanks for your advice and time dude. You rock btw. Cheers from Scotland.

    It’s only been used for 2 years.
    Thanks for your time

    How do you know the donor drives head is not broken?! İ mean you don't actually donate a head out of a fine hdd ?! Or do you?

    So this exact model I have was in a external case. I had a power outage and it formatted the harddrive into .RAW format.
    I took the case out and plugged it directly into my computer because via USB would not work.
    I used easeus Data recovery software and was able to get most of the data to appear in the software but at the time I did not have another harddrive to switch it over. Now, the harddrive will never connect/be recognized by the computer. It turns on, spins, and does not make odd sounds. Disk manager doesn't list it, Bios doesn't either, I can not find drivers for this harddrive.
    I can not get the harddrive to connect so I can do recovery. I fear the harddrive is dead dead.
    Do I have to just do what you did in this video and get a exact model harddrive that is healthy and start switching out the parts in hope that it fixes it? Just so I can recovery it all to another harddrive that isn't this god awful product by seagate.
    Thanks if you reply.

    Great Video! I'm currently working on data recovery jobs using plain old ddrescue and some other freeware stuff, but planning to get a pc 3000 udma till the end of this year. This video brought up many concerns for me, it shows just how complicated working with this devices can be. I was wondering if You can do an overview on most common Rom faults or priovide some literature where I can get an idea of what I'm go na be facing soon. BTW i Just love Your Channel, You are one of the few who bing up details on data recovery in this very competetive market.

    • @hddrecoveryservices

      PC3K UDMA would be a great start man make sure you get Data Extractor with it otherwise its useless for data recovery. HDDGuru is a good place to start, register on their forum and see if you can catch up with concepts. Honestly, you would need to learn as you go, and be prepared for some hard work. PC3000 is not an easy tool by any means. Took me a few years to get really comfy with it

      You have to transplant eprom which contains platter calibration registers even same firmware.
      It works most cases but if handling of eprom changed between firmware change, it will not work.

    Hi, nice video. I'm in trouble with my Seagate barracuda 1tb. I have a donor but not own the weird wrench to move the header pins (I'm from Italy, no idea how that disk surface readers are called; we call them "testine", small heads). Can you tell me please the name of that small grey tool to separate pins form disk? Best Regards Al

    sometimes it is not necessary to open the case to manually position the needle.. the problem may be in the power supply or in the connectors under the pcb, which oxidizes with time... you probably know that ( as i can see, you have a lot of hdd there on your shelf to be fixed ) let me ask you a question ? don't you worry about dust sitting on top of the disk while they are open ? your environment is far from being perfect for handling this type of device.... On the other hand, I heard that when the drive is spinning, the dust or any particle just goes away. anyway... nice video anyway !!!

      saying is one thing, but getting the drive that is dead to a point where that same drive gives proper ID and puts out data is another thing. That other thing without being properly equipped for the job just does not happen :)
