BlackST,

Do you have any luck with such cases, or is it to costly and time consuming to even try?

I couldn't do it (I can't afford as many head stacks as I would burn), but I bet some others here could.

Yes, it's matter of how much is data worth. Some data is unrecoverable and might be time consuming too (the last problem).

Agree. The fact that there will be many heads get destroyed during the process (not to mention "unlimited" time consumed)

I've ventured down that road a couple of times, just to see if luck would be on my side. Luck WAS on my side...bad luck, that is. After destroying perfectly good head sets in a matter of seconds, it just isn't worth the time wasted. Send them to Seagate for their Signal Trace Technology. :D

This drive is recoverable but only partially.
There are more options, tricks to do that. ;)
The price is definitely too high for worth it...

Guys,

That's what I thought, but I just wanted some confirmation from the elders here.
Thanks for the honest feedback.
