Hello friends,

I have Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS with broken heads. It looks like simple case.
I swapped heads to new one from compatibility drive (I think it is compatible ;) ) I can read data from H1 and H2 without ANY problem. From H0 and H3 data is read but TERRIBLY slow.
Heads worked fine when i back them to donor. I try swap both magnets too, top magnet only, bottom magnet only, nothing change.

I think it is quite popular problem with Seagate .10, .11 and .12. I have few cases like this. If anyone manage with this problem and could share this info I will be grateful. PM is enough.

I think you better continue reading it, even though its very slow.

Yes, but it goes REALLY slow. It can take about 3-5 months to read it. I'm sure it is heads issue with compatibility. Surface is fine, SA is fine.

Even with headmap? (clone first the working heads that read fast then the remaining). Otherwise I would try first another headstack then move pack and heads to another chassis, rather than playing with SA...

Yes, even with headmap... I try two different headstack. I clone from two heads first with normal speed. Then from two others, but it goes very slow. Heads are ok, when I put them back to donor they work very good with nominal speed.

Is it possible it could be the pending bug?

NO.


And the argument for this accurate answer is the fact that two heads out of four are reading perfectly.

Are there no output messages when imaging the slow heads?
Did you enable the option where full report is shown on terminal?

No, there is no output while reading. At this moment I read this drive about ~15 mln/24h so don't want interrupt until reads.
