I did send my drive to HDD recover specialist. They tried but were not able to get the drive to function properly. They have also tools for updating/reading ROM chips and my ROM chip was total dead, no data could be read from it... And they instructed me to find a compatible drive. As the only solution would be the ROM change (if a match is found). The drive would not even try to start on my motherboard internal SATA, so its very believable that ROM/Firmware is corrupted. With HighPoint SATA controller it tries to spin but stops after couple of silent clicks without mounting. |

Finland.. The recovery company has good reputation for ten years. What I discussed with them sounds very reasonable. Of course other opinions are welcome too. |
