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

Hi,
Can someone help me identify the fault by listening to the sound the hard drive makes?

Drive can't spin? Most likely cause heads are stuck on the platter.
Diagnosing anything via a sound is stupid.

100% heads stuck on platters. If data is important, take it to a pro.

You appear to be very unlucky with your drives lately or are these client drives?

I'm honing my data recovery skills by working on faulty hard drives I have. I'll be opening the drive in a clean environment.

And then? If you have no proper skills to solve the stiction you risk to make everything worse. So if this is a client drive and the data is critical - DON'T DO IT!
You will need special hardware in the next step to prevent to mess up the second level translator and other firmware modules.
