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

Trying to recover from a HGST 7K1000-1000 HDD using DeepSpar. When attempting to image, I'm getting a repeating pattern where the DeepSpar will image quickly and normally through a number of LBAs for just a few seconds (maybe 5 seconds), then the drive will click once, then I'll get maybe one 120 sector block with read timeout, then 5 seconds of good read again. This repeats over and over. This was just a quick check of the drive and I haven't changed the block size or any normal parameters yet. I was mostly concerned with the single click issue and whether anyone had any suggestions to overcome or eliminate it using the DeepSpar settings. Thanks in advance.

Forcing PIO did the trick! Thanks for the help!
