Hi, maybe i can help you?

We have the PC3000 SAS+DE and succesfully recovered a Raid SAS case last week where two sas drives needed cleanroom operation.
After succesful operation in the cleanrrom both drives where image 100% in PC3000 SAS.
The raid was hard to crack but this was a 100% recovery (And i know that no automatic tool could crack this raid, this was a manually cracked). All job done in 1 day (10 hours).

SAS/SCSI are workhorse drives and doesn't often crash as an regular drive and when they crash it is pretty often hard/impossible to recover/image them because many times scratches on platters. Sometime PCB issues or Translator, but not so often.

Just PM if any question.

Thx
eazycut

Agreed.

No ezycut wasn't. I was just saying I was having a bad week. This was a different drive. Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your the bug.

Sotry everyone, I really confused the post. This is a different drive, different job. Ignore it.

No problem m8, your welcome!

A bad week with only one DOA drive? It isn't unusual that we get a couple of those a day.

LOL. I could have told you that I had an unrecoverable 3xRAID5 a 8xRAID0 and two drives with platter damage, but then I would have really confused the post

We recently had one like that. Customer sent 6 SAS drives from a RAID '5' and said that one drive had not been working since they installed the machine. Managed to image the others without problems, and fixed and imaged the bad drive, then examined the images to work out raid parameters.

Turned out to be RAID 0 using all 6 drives and failed drive was the reason for the problem.
