JACK.

what he means sometimes BASED on your work (experience) you end up with a RULE (your own rule), seeing others posts SOMETIMES breaks 1 or 2 or your TESTED RULES

which ends up to: No Rule Based on your Rules..... heheheh confusing issue sometimes..

[Jack Karis]

Hi, you guys....make me wonder at times.

No one ever comes out so straight....but i know why.....no one is ready to trade His/her skills with others as it were...

Looking forward for a day when people will share info freely.

Jack.

@ Jack: einstein9 and tawfeek said it best.

Once you think you have a "rule" figured out, you do a head swap that breaks it.

But there are some criteria that increase the probabilities of success, and I shared the ones that work for me.

What do you want? Something case in iron or stone? I don't think it exists . . . there are too many exceptions.

[Jack Karis]

@ Jono glad you tried to help,But the info you provided was shallow....wish you tried to expound a little.

Share your info with no hard feelings.

Dear Jack,

I can give you a small TIP on how things are going either HERE (forum) or maybe in your LIFE (in general)

Seeking Advices/2nd. Opinions from DR`s (Doctors) costs

there are CHEAP (5 cents) Advices - useless
there are DAMN EXPENSIVE Doctors (who spent AGES of experience) - costs here.

so for this case scenario, DO NOT EXPECT Free Advices from those Damn Expensive Doctors, UNLESS they see its a normal thing to know/share

this applies to all (in my life) - you should PAY your SCHOOL fee`s - as those Doctors PAID ALREADY THEIRS

this is what i have for you here, and good luck

but

Remember something for HERE:

when people HERE used to YOU, and they FEEL you know GOOD, expect many PRIVATE PM`s for TIPS/Advices
but do not SPREAD IT.


good luck

I've found through years of experimentation and practice on old drives that you can have some really weird situations where two drives should not be compatible at all, but the heads end up working perfectly. I've highlighted a couple of cases on this site, and others I haven't. I will say that for the most part, everything I thought I knew about drive compatibility 10 years ago was completely thrown out the window.

Wait a minute...

You're asking for WD donors and you show a Hitachi drive??

Which one is it??
