Seagate 9HV 144 300

I don't believe that's the correct model number but they don't need the hard drive to test and repair the laptop. They can just use a Windows PE (Windows on a DVD or USB flash drive) and it should run okay, once the motherboard is repaired. Depending on what got soaked, it may be a total waste of ti...

One does firmware repair and imaging of USB drives while the other just allows imaging of USB drives. As far as the imaging goes, the stabilizer does not facilitate selective head imaging, varied time-outs, variable number of LBAs to skip on error selection, reverse imaging, or multi-pass imaging (u...

Still would like to see a side-by-side comparison with the Dylos 1100 Pro or a certified particle counter.

Cleaning HDD Heads & Platters

I find that cotton swaps leave fibers behind -- a horrible mess. These ones, at least: HUBY-BB-002.

Dust particle Measuring Device

A side-by-side comparison with a Dylos 1100 Pro would be really interesting. Did the SPS30 come with all the requires software or was the Evaluation kit required for that? The Digi-Key cost for the SPS30 is $70 CAD but for the evaluation kit it's $128 CAD, plus shipping. The costs are slightly lower...

Head cleaning under microscope
