New smart say that "pending sectors" are growing up.
It also confirm that the highest temperature reached in the past was of 123°C

ISTM that, if the temperature sensor is in the preamp, and if the temperature at cold start is equal to ambient (12C), and if it then rises to 123C after a few minutes, then there must be something wrong with the preamp or its supply voltages.

Hi Everyone,

The key success of restoring the data in my case is the room or ambient temperature. Yesterday thx to cold and bad weather I as able to restore a third of my data. If I can keep the drive cool, then it works without any trouble.

Thx for all you help, assistance and usefull information. For me the problem is solved. :D
