can you read modules / tracks?
did you check them?

1) translator regeneration
2) smart hot swap

no way, you need scsi of course.
if you do not have forget to fix that drive...
if it is a raid 5 and you have got 2 drives a bit of luck you can retrieve data..

Could 160 be the connection speed? And maybe you mistakingly think it's the shown capacity?
These drives usually show either full capacity or capacity 0

Not an easy model to deal with

Why?

Did one of the good ones drop out the raid a while back?

Holy crap!
These drives are a total nightmare to recover (if needed), and as said, you need PC3K SCSI to diagnose and possibly fix. If you need to open them up for head swap etc... well.... you will have to to deal with A LOT of challenges. Better to avoid it.

I say you go ahead and re-cosider the chances of recovery with 2/3 drives.
Ask DR-Kiev to take a look, he will tell you what can be done.

Good luck mate.

Then I suggest you outsource this drive to someone who owns a PC3K SCSI mate, no other way 'round it.

Weird, indeed.

Usually it was a go/no go (0 MB).
