Yep, top platter surface unused. De-popped at factory! One very lucky lady got all her family photos back! |

Lucky client Sean, I do not think that these damages left the factory, a later crash is the cause. Your client made a superior choice in you, could imagine others would have rejected this case after lifting the lid. Have seen it before that 1 or 2 heads are not used, if the failed qc or simply downgraded to lower capacity i can only guess. |

I have seen one case at Tom's Hardware (?) where a 500GB (on the label) WD drive benchmarked like a 3-head 750GB drive that had been shortstroked. |

And only the top platter was damage? No other problems? If so, why did WD depoped that head? Some kind of problem was detected there.... |
