Hi to all!
flash rom good that the chances of successful recovery of data from these HDDs?

is this HDD lying on your kitchen table in the open (no clean environment) ?

this HDDs burned due to a fire!
the spacers and filters this melted due to the heat!

hello sempre, we had recovered drives like that, but it's hard to know if it's still recoverable or not, WD's are not as sentisitive in platter alignment as seagates, perhaps you can give it a try.

Check VCM magnet. If it still works, you have a chance. If not, platters most likely are demagnetized as well.

The magnets can lose their properties at high temperatures (although recover once the temperature drops)

I do not understand that your relationship to data recorded on plates.

Magnets loss their magnetic properties when you apply high temperature for long period of time, if indeed magnet has lost some magnetic property case is lost.

Sorry, but lost its magnetic capacity

Thanks all reply!!

some hope to have the data back?

all information will be welcome!

[jermy]

Most likely even if you do retrieve some data it will be partial and mostly corrupted, but you'll never know until you try.

I'd estimate chances by looking at the melted parking ramp. Photo indicates that recovery will be painful.

We have one or two similar drives right currently (and had more previously), you can expect things like 3 hours or more just to read the SA. After that SA still isn't fully extracted and the drive won't get ready on its own due to the gaps in it.

As for losing the magnetization, I think that mostly depends on material properties.
And it definitely would be interesting to look at the information on Curie point for platters.
