Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

This drive is part of a 2 x RAID 0. Drive had significant amount of bad sectors on 3 heads. Completed a head swap. Drive has issues initializing but gets there after 5-10 seconds. Whenever we try to image the drive, it images for a while and then all status lights apart from BSY come on and the drive shuts down. This happens in both PC3K and DDI. We thought the slow initialization may be due to incompatible heads so tried second set. Exactly the same issues. Tried different board, same issues. After the drive shuts down it will not power up again, at least BSY status light will not show, but 5v and 12v status lights do illuminate. If we leave the drive for about 1 hour, the drive boots back up again and we go through the same cycle.

If drive cloning normally (not tech-mode, no strange sounds etc.) so reduce cloning speed (to PIO mode) or/and requested data block, send hard reset (with corresponding timings) for any cloning delay.

Try to read via utility and see if the problem persists.
If not, it's a matter of tweaking.

Done both of those things. Can't seem to get past the first couple of minutes...

So it's not normal. If I remember correctly there was applied idle process in some FW. There should be solution for that.
