Seagate Drive spindle get OUT

[zebong]

Hi to all,

Receiveid this seagate disk, that was in a external BOX, that have drop to the floor in the disk on.

when open it i notice that the spindle it was different .... if you touch it you notice something strange there.

i remove the plattes with the spaces " without lost the aligment " and notice this:

see picture :

For replacement the chassis off the disk, what should i match ?

Thanks

" without lost the aligment "? interesting.

Well it is easier to retain alignment if the spindle is sheared

Seen this a few times, always been recoverable.

Any 7200.10 chassis that's visually the same will be fine.

yes, any chasis from the same model disk (even different capacity) should be fine.

I think this is still recoverable if you transplant the platter carefully though you may have hard time taking out the data but with proper tuning using Pc3k DE, it should be fine. We had done quite a few.

Alignment and proper placement is a challenge though.

I have done this job last month. yes, any 72.10
Good luck my friend
