WD5000KS destruction after a 12v-5v swap

It reminds me of one customer, after receiving a quote for physical recovery. He said, "I will buy myself the SSDrive and soon all of data recovery people will be out of business because of SSD technology". I simply asked him a question in responce, "Did you see any piece of electorincs that never failed?" He simply walked away with his head down.

It's not whether electronics fails, but how frequently it fails. I suspect that physical data recovery will go the way of blacksmithing, or pyramid building. Both are lost arts.

In any case, I suspect that end users will ultimately be able to do their own data recovery in most cases, with affordable, or even open source, tools.

You are wrong. users may attempt their own data recovery but most will fail, this is a fact....
