Hi,
can i remove with a photographer pump brush some dust created on the surface of plate ( into a clean room obviously)?
thx

use a can of compressed air.

wich kind of dust is it ? some times the hdd when head crash, at the moment when heads shocks with platters the MR sensors from heads are burned from the impact and u can see that dust over platters


Regards

if you opened the drive and there is dust inside

your find out that somewhere on the platter possible damaged
by the headstack touching it.

if not you can use compress air or infact works well is a photographer pump brush
