I had a 400GB WD drive that looked like that when I opened it, I used a disk imaging software that archived the entire disk onto a good 500GB drive, then replaced bad drive w/ good drive and did process in reverse. Took almost two days...

7200.11 or 12?

[quasimodo]

Looks to me like the ring is close to SA area if I am not mistaken

[zebong]

is a 7200.10

It looks also near the SA or the SA.

the filter also was some data there...

Recovery process will be HARD, but not impossible. Depending on how much $$$$ and importance of data.

I would like to see somebody recover that for the heck of it.

I had a WD 400GB that would barely be detected only AFTER the computer booted up and then applied power to HD. After which I used Acronis disk imager to image onto a good drive, took a long time took a day and a half to do it, all sorts of re-reads. I was lucky....
Opened up drive and had rings in it like those. May not be in the exact area though.. That's why I burn all my important stuff onto dvd-r & blu-ray every week or so from my raid protected drive. You never know, "god" may decide to destroy both of your hard drives at once

you will find that WD "Builds In" the rings LMAO
