Please help! Seagate Momentus Drives

[smilesc]

I have noticed that for Seagate Momentus drives, symptoms are: once i changed out the head, replaced it with a donor, this would actually damage the donor. Can someone provide me with comments in HDDguru or (chiangchiang_1987@hotmail.com)? Thank you very much

Always check the bottom platter for damage before seeking out a donor. It can save you a lot of time and money.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the entire Seagate product range has gone down the pan in this manner.

I am seeing plenty of high-capacity, new-ish Seagate drives for recovery - all with seized bearings.

Used to be the best - now probably the worst drives available.

Seagate really have dug them self into a big turd pit. Now by sounds of this they have caught the maxtor bug. Sure partner with any company, but never use their technology. If proven to be bad, and maxtor technology was/is very bad.
