A Wild Seagate Week

June 22nd, 2018, 17:56

Maybe not so wild given they are Seagates, but here is a selection of new Seagate drives in the week for recovery. Two are from a RAID 5.

Now that's not fair, they did make one drive in 2008 that lasted about 6 months.....

From my view, it has been some wild Shitgate years.

Just yesterday I received 5 drives for assessment/recovery. Three of the four Seagates are shown below. I think I'll open all Seagates in the garage from now on, so I don't have to constantly clean the data dust out of my clean chamber.

Seems like somebody forgot their metal lathes inside some hard disks...

Had a seagate 300gb 7200.9 this week with bent up top head and badly scratched landing zone.

With new heads and some “jiggery pokery” got 99.9% clone :-)
