Particularly like this bit...

Creative way not to show customers your facility

Once the drive is opened a spindle motor tool is used to check if the spindle is free and able to move.

I would just love to see such an advanced hi tech tool. :lol:

I'd like to know how they converted a SATA drive (7200.12) to an IDE type.

AFAICT, Seagate never manufactured PATA versions of the 7200.12 series.

Well it is good to know that they are trying to protect you from "data lose".

Trade secret revealed = )

lol. Class. Is that what you do to customers who don't want to pay? lol.

If that was a Seagate 7200.9 I would have thought that is how you repair the CE Error [u]LOG[/u]. :lol:

Flush that log away.

Back to toilet duck data recovery, wonder where they have come from. Anyone here noticed any of their technicians have failed to turn up for work today???
