Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Working on a 3TB Seagate.
The HDD goes smooth image in few areas, then very slow, then again smooth image, then again very slow or bad sectors.
Tried to image by selective head... To all the heads/surfaces the behavior is same.
Is it media damage? or something else? Any thought?
The access till 4XXXXXXX sectors are smooth by all heads... the the behavior happens.

I've seen this on a dropped DM as well, heads 'seem' to be OK, but it goes fast/slow/fast/slow with the slow parts often timing out. Happens in random places on all heads.

It was not dropped.
Slow would be ok, but bad sectors/can't image!
Based on different opinion it's suspected very likely it has media damage. After discussing with customer, I didn't open the HDD to check further.
Customer decided to send this case to SEAGATE DATA RECOVERY SERVICE!
