Zephyr WD5000BPVT-22HXZT1 Strange problem with head 2

November 17th, 2015, 12:04

Hello, I wanted to be sure. Because I have such a strange case now with drive. The hdd is a 3head and the heads 0 and 1 write and read perfect, while the head 2 Write perfect, and nothing reads, all basic operations done, ie, slow responding, recalculate translator, P-list, all modules good.
Bad head 2?

If it doesn't read you'll need to change heads. Image head 0 and 1 first, then change heads and image the last one. Don't recalculate translator or anything else...it will fuck up the SA.

Do not reading anything from the head 2. Write perfect speed about 97Mb / s Read 0.1MB / s. Backup was made still earlier this drive. The data are safe. I mean I mean same drive. HDD not clicking, no strange sounds,

Head has 2 different "thing" which do - first reading, second - writing. So in your case head #2 has working second one and not working first one.You need change heads to read data.

Well, it remains for me nothing else but cut head. What is interesting changing the head map on 4 heads, this head which has problems, it becomes the latest in efficient, passes all the tests, is clearly an SA area, UA area, while returning to the original head map, the situation repeats itself, or head 0 and 1 read perfect. Head 2 read nothing. Do understand me?

Spildit frend, drive a further deepened torture disk damage until dead heads 0 and 1. So I opened the drive in the wrong conditions, then plater literally burst into the poppy, so I ended the life of the drive. the data it had previously save, and the disc was used as a patient to learn. This is my private drive so the zero stress. Do you understand me?
