Hi All,

I got Model : ST3000DM001
Firmware : CC24
Capacity 3,000GB

Each time I supply power to the drive it makes one beep sound, stops it's motor and became ready state BUT without real recognization.

I attached the drive to PC3K treminal and got the following terminal output:
Boot 0x40M
Spin Up
FAIL Servo Op=0100 Resp=0007

Any Idea what does this mean?
The drive has some very light (and almost unvisible) scratches on the top platter.
(Opened in ISO 5 clean room)

Best Regards,

Cannot reach servo due to media damage and most probably head(s) are gone too. Service area may be inaccessible. I should see the drive to tell more, but at a glance it is a case in the mid-high difficult range or with embedded "surprises"...

What are the chances to reocver that drive and what are the chances to lose parts than to reocver the drive?

It's relatively not your problem : first assess the amount of media damage then get paid in advance for parts. If media damage is beyond repair, pass - if the customer agrees about you have to get paid in any case even for the attempts, go on checking and replacing the hs in case it is damaged, the risk is to loose parts and some time. I don't see too many options.

Thank you for your opinion.
We think in the same way. I already told that to the client..
