HDD data recovery
  • Yeah... That probably because either the drive thought it was falling and triggered the HDD falling mechanism (often found on 2.5" hdd) which would move the arms off the disks to prevent them from hitting it and damaging the platters to unrecoverable states.

    Or if done on 3.5" without this feature built into it, could just damage the platters.

    Would probably be less risky to open it up and unstick the arms yourself.

  • I was aware of this trick also, the first thing I tried. Nothing changed. I even tried it in 2 double double zipped freezer baggies for a week. No difference in acoustics from the drive after spin up.

    However thanks for bringing this up; I forgot I tried this lol.

  • HDD data recovery

    I have a HDD 4tb Toshiba drive I had in a Raid 1 NAS device (NSA320) that failed in the raid and I replaced it and rebuilt the raid and life was good.

    I have finally moved to a better custom TrueNas scale setup with 2x 8tb HDD in a Raid 1 with weekly encrypted backups to online cloud. I have 2 4tb Toshiba HDDs that match closely with the dead hdd.

    I want to try to recover data from it mainly because I want the experience... Let me explain. The drive clicks, yes you can hear the disks spin up to speed and then you hear clicking as it's trying to read.

    I want to know if I can start off trying to swap the circuit board to rule that out without much issue? I have true HEPA filter air purifiers and I can rotate and angle them to have a positive pure air pressure if I need to open it up and swap out the arms.

    Is it worth trying? Anything I should know or think about in my decision to try this?

    TIL that there are two types of earwax: wet and dry
  • Yeah from what I was reading it's used professionally in dr offices. IIRC they use like slightly more concentrated h2o2 (hydrogen peroxide) but I wouldn't even if you could get your hands on stronger stuff as it could cause DMG and it's mainly, again from my understanding, used to speed up the process so you aren't sitting there for like 30 minutes or something. Again, probably wrong and may have forgotten this incorrectly. Consult a Dr not some rando online.
