Testing head performance...
Getting SA information error!

When I try a logical test, it reads but really slow.
Don't have donors and I really want to know if there can be something I can try before I buy one.

Thanks for any help.

This is a hitachi dle6 drive ,i hope you are selecting the right utility

Amarbir[CDR-Labs], Thank you for your answer, and I am deeply ashamed for my newbie actions.
MRT wrongly detects it as Toshiba, so I didn't realized that. I'll see what I can do here now.
Thanks again

Amarbir[CDR-Labs], Now, with the right utility, I have backup of everything, and access to every sector, but still extremely slow.
Really don't know what I can do to improve that. Doesn't seem to me that is a faulty head...

yeah, most probably weak head. As it has only one single head you see the full lba range slow.

pepe, Ok, Thank you... I was hoping there were something I cound do without opening it. Not used to this model at all. Thank you so much for your answer.

i could probably do it without opening it but you need to swap heads probably.
Good luck with it
pepe
