Hi

I have this HDD with a strange behaviour.
I hear no clicks.
It's well detected, can read all resources without any problem.
But When I try to read sectors, I get Read Error 48-bit Device error detected UNC.
But sometimes the same sector can be read.
On PC3K, head test is OK, but on DDI, the head's show failures, altough I could already imaged a piece of the drive.
I have tried to clear G-List, SMART and translator regen, but the same happens.
If I selected the option Read/Write Options - Use utility and I can read the sectors without the UNC faillure... I can image the drive like this, but the speed os 1kb/s. It will take forever...
Any idea how to speed it up?
Thanks

Have you tried replacing the PCB? It could just be glitchy.

Hi

No I haven't tried...
I'll test it too.
Thanks
