It's not so much making it profitable, its getting access to the hard drives firmware to make the necessary changes to the drive after a head swap. I think most of us here have done head swaps on helium drives as R&D. The actual process is not any different to a normal HDD (except for opening and filling with helium). But most modern drives need firmware adaptations as well. That is where the larger companies have a slight advantage as they can 'poach' techs/information from HDD manufacturers and get the inside scoop. There are smaller companies on this forum who have had success with accessing firmware, but I don't think any of them are prepared to offer it as a regular option for recovery. But someone may prove me wrong..... again...
