Dead Hard Drives and PCB boards

October 10th, 2011, 17:17

I have some old hard drives that have PCB Circuit board failure but would like them fixed for experimental purposes.

I have different branded drives that are 3.5 inch, IDE and SATA.

The hard drive details are below. Any PCB boards will be appreciated. If not then a dead hard drive that I can take the parts out would do.

IBM / Hitachi Deskstar
HDS722580VLAT20
HDS722540VLSA80

SEAGATE ST3400832A Barracuda

MAXTOR 7850AV

Western Digital WD WD400BD-75JMA0

ExcelStor J840

As you can see from the above list the drives are old and I am confident that there are readers who either have dead drives or boards that are stored away. if so and are willing to give them a second life that will be put to good use and be used for educational purposes.

please get in touch

I am based in the UK
Please PM me for more details

Thanks

Post in HARD DRIVE MARKET section or ask for moving.
P.s. I have almost all the drives you want, all working 100% but need DCM/alpha for match!

Yes but WHAT DO YOU EXACTLY NEED and what are the COMPLETE details of the drives ? Too many variables at play !

P.S. complete working drives fulfilling specific requirements , sourced as donor part are NOT CHEAP.

Dont need donor drives
just need circuit boards for the mentioned drives.

the drives are intact but need new pcb boards. all the drives are old ones so im sure that readers must have spare pcb bpards for these hard drives

please see below hard drive list that I need pcb boards for
