Hello, please look at this maxtor platter,and tell me why this happens????
hdd is worked good,and just in one moment start to knock,not recognised anymore,when open it,j look that picture......

It's called a headcrash, the magnetic heads have failed and destroyed the surface of the platter.

Bye bye to your data I'm afraid

If the data is important , that drive may be recoverable by a professional. The head crash is in a non-critical area of the platter. That is a common head crash area for maxtors.

thanks guys

But all we can see is the top platter, could be damage to underneath that cant be seen. Was the filter clean or black with dye?

Its very common head crash on Maxtor, on the land zone , and its some times possible, while sholuld not damaged over SA or Servo to get data back, but only by a DR Company, not by u self, if u need data, the most important its the hardware control after that
