Hi All,

Here's a quick one......

How do you feel about HDD manufacturers offering DR Services, albeit in the guise of someone like Actionfront?

Some of my customers say they would never go near SeagateDR, because of the poor quality drives that they ship. They see that Seagate have a nice little market setup for themselves as a result.

How do you feel about it?

** Note: I'm not picking on any specific vendor/service provider **

We are in the process of busting Seagate's DR division wide open.

More news later.

Are you referring to the Platter Extraction System? And is this tool designed specifically for Seagate platter swaps where there are spacers?

If you are dont worry about it. I have been extracting platters from seagates for the past 5 years and have a current success rate of 86.54%

If this is the case then I believe that it is in fact I who has blown open the world of seagate data recovery.

Personally I quite like the Seagate Motor failures. Quick to diagnose, native heads are usually good, only part needed is a chassis and they are always readilly available and reuseable, and entire procedure usually takes about 15 minutes.

I even recover via Windows Copy sometimes afterwards!

But knowing how to recover from this fault, or even releasing a product to help with this failure is hardly going to bust seagate DR wide open.

But, as Seagate DR IS a competitor, who are we to argue lol

In 2006, a crack recovery unit was sent to Europe by a company for a disk they didn't recover. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the London underground. Today, still wanted by the manure-facturer, they survive as techies of fortune. If you have a data problem, if no one else can help, and if you can call them, maybe you can hire... The S-Team.

The Team Are

Colonel John "Recovery Guru" Smith
Lieutenant Templeton "Platter Man" Peck
Master Sergeant Bosco Albert "Beyond Economical Repair" Baracus
Captain H.M. "Howling Mad Recovery Psycho Swapping Heads" Murdock


LOL love it :OP

Just out of curiosity, how many people here have difficulty in performing platterswap on Seagate with spacers?

No - nothing to do with P.Ex whatsoever.

It's a job I received from a client who had already sent it to Seagate DR, who quoted their usual stratospheric fee.

When I received the drive, there were anomalies in that what Seagate purported to have engineered was fabrication.

Just waiting on a certain individual to decide whether to run with spilling the beans against them....
