Drive came in and was clicking, swapped heads and same results, put the clients heads in parts drive, drive comes ready and I can read, put heads back in patient drive and I get this via terminal, could someone give me some idea of what it's wrong with this drive? thank you in advance

If those heads work in donor drive, I would say scratch on patients platter.
Was the drive dropped?

Re: Samsung HD321KJ

no dropped, at least that what the client claims, i had swapped PCB and heads and can get access to the module to be able to fix SA if something it;s wrong with drive. No scratches on platters

This is the 1 platter version...right? So you can see if head1 surface is damaged?
Could be a microscopic scratch...did you try hotswap as well?

Re: Samsung HD321KJ

March 12th, 2013, 10:39

2 platters, looked under microscope no scratches on ether platter, I had tried hotswap heads just sweep the platter and does no come ready, I'm baffle with this behavior, swapped heads again and both clients and parts heads still good :-?
thank you for your replay mr_spokk

Have a feeling : is the PCB native ? ;)

Re: Samsung HD321KJ

Put client PCB on parts drive, drive comes ready with correct parts' s /n, FW, MDL and capacity, so I can rule out the PCB, I will try another head xplant

cut it short to the end = HEADS

good luck

Re: Samsung HD321KJ

With new set of heads, drive clicks and spins down, I put the clients heads on my parts drive and parts drive comes ready and reads from all 4 heads, very frustrating, no cigar!

thank you to all who replied to my issue
