The drive had an awful squeeking sound, I thought it is not even worth to open it to see, just give it back to the customer, but he stated it had this sound before and it is coming from the bearing, and insisted to take a look inside.
So I opened it and it was definitely worth the time :lol:
I am only sad because my camera is out of order and I could only take a picture with my phone. It would be interesting to take a picture of the heads and the arms closely. I would rather say the place where heads sat some time ago :lol:
I would be really glad if the customer left it here as a gift.

I hope U enjoyed the sight, I did. I feel really sorry for the guy.

Ouch!

That's some serious data corruption.

I think even DE would struggle with that one! ;-)
