I seem to have a low success rate with swapping rosewood series drives. Is there something that I am missing. Has anyone else experienced this? Tight spacing when inserting head combs is not an issue after receiving Apex tool labs latest rosewood set.

It's not the head swap process problem. It's the shit they are made of. Both heads and platters... and the firmware... and construction itself

These are particularly sensitive to media damage and contamination. If your platters aren't spotless, trouble ensues.

When Rosewoods started to show up here, a high percentage had severe media damage. Was not excited at that time. Now I do several every week, success rate is on level with other model / brands. Kind of like them now

Yeah, it's hit or miss. The platter quality is just trash. I have a case I just handled that worked after a head swap, but the drive was nearly 100% full. At around 50% recovered it started to get read errors and then the heads died. Open it up, and what do I find??? Rings in the platters now and I can literally see straight through the glass platters.

The coating on the platters is just insanely thin and degrades fast with any minor damage.
