I had the same problem in the same model and nothing helped. Turns out there was a problem on platter 0 and when load firmeware from sa 0 it caused slowness in all platters. Luckily in my case platter 1 was ok so I booted from head 1 suddenly the reading speed was normal on all platters except...

I have the same problem with two cards.One has the right capacity the second has 5.7GB both are full of repeating pattern data but no files after scan.Customer claims card from digital camera not from smartphone.

But I want to cut physically or bend patient drive head 01 . When I tried on good drive to edit SA regions 1 like 0, then disable head 01 in rom, drive make one click and won't id after power on again.

Drive clicks can't id. Is it possible to recover data from good platter 0 ? Is it possible hot swap on those drives ? Is it possible to disable head 01 in rom without make drive click after power on ?

Look how I did it (at the end press modify).

Actually maybe all is right,just get nervous from this millions of sectors like this,after a while they stop then come again, is this the remnants of deleted files ?

I even can't read modules by id it was extremely slow. But I found temporary solution,I boot drive from head 01 and boom reading at full speed and backup fw. But now I have another problem,the decryption key works for first 7000000 sectors then data returns to be encryption.

I cleared smart,untick enable reallocate,and still all heads in all area reading at 10kb :( Is it can be low motor speed ?

I replaced the heads and now reading is extremely slow,did slow fix in MRT and it say ok but nothing changed. I'm not sure it is the standard wd slow issue,after power on the drive get id pretty fast but then start to be slow this will be every time I power on the drive.

Is this can be done ? I'm trying to read modules by hot swap in model wd20nmvw (shrek),after put sata pcb I can read modules from current disk fine but if doing hot swap to another (even good drive) same model and fw I can't read modules (and both drives have same dir location) .

Having accumulated experience in difficult cases with other brands I started prepare myself to work with toshiba , then I noticed you can't do hot swap and disable heads in rom in toshiba drives what raised the question how can you deal in media damage cases that I do get from time to...

So no ID and you want to READ DATA from other good platters (after good cleaning) ,what options pc-3000 has to deal with it ?

If toshiba platter 01 has huge deep scratch of course disk will click when power on,and you want to read data from other good platters (after good cleaning) ,what options pc-3000 has to deal with it ?

MRT

For example if platter 01 damaged, disable head in DE wont help but in other brands you have options to read other platters by disable heads in rom (or cut physically) or do hot swap,what can be done with Toshiba on this issue ?

Are toshiba options are very limit in these cases compared to other brands ? We can't disable heads (for data recovery purpose) can't boot from other head and can't do hot swap,is it true ? Are there other advanced options can be applied to compensate these disabilities ?

Hi Is there way to fix this wrong samsung m7e 640gb zone table ? It's end in sector 158,144,883 while drive available capacity is 1250,263,728 and the sectors for each zone not true (I can access other sectors if bypass scratches on platter). The 9D PARAM_DM module( that store the zone table...

Horrible technology ! what can we tell people accidentally deleted they videos ? They had to find another solution to speed up memory chips.

Hi This is lenovo tab2 android 5.1 no software can recover deleted camera videos from this device ,so I did a little test I deleted videos on purpose then compare the android logical image before and after what I saw is after simple deleted the android zeroed almost all data in the file just...

I found how to do it in MRT ,unlike toshiba that you can choose it directly from DE setting when select mrt utility then popup window to choose pio or udma mode,in hitachi do not choose from here but do it in the main hitachi software, then select pio mode in DE setting and it will work together...

Jared,in pc3000 when using hitachi virtual translator (load PSHT and RDMT with utility) to image the drive,can you choose the pio mode with it ? In MRT if you work with hitachi utility so all DE setting won't take effect,I can't use pio mode,error setting, and timeout setting also. In my case I...

Hi This hitachi power off suddenly every few seconds or minutes during imaging,some times when meets bad sectors some times when I power on and go the last point I can read the sector fine. It happens approximately in 10% of the drive area,I tried so far: Replaced pcb Replaced heads Clean...

Is module 0B in rom contains the directory location ? I compared module 0B on both drives and it was identical so it means the directory location are the same . So the main question remains, is wd smart hot swap is possible when ROM firmware number a little different at the end like this...

It looks similar to pc3000.

In my case drive A:WD7500BPVT-80HZT3 firmware 01.01A01 ROM firmware 0065000U Drive B: WD7500BPVT-80HZT3 firmware 01.01A01 ROM firmware 00650018 So the question is if smart hot swap is possible when ROM firmware a little different at the end because to find exact rom with all...

It appears in MRT in similar words,you can see in the first screenshot I upload in the top part,so the SA zones and directory location in ROM are the same in both drives but because the directory location in MRT grayed I'm not sure it's accurate so I also compared module 0B on both drives and...

I followed this ace video what-is-a-smart-hot-swap-t2374.html#p11716 But in Zephyr family I try it react different almost on every step, in the end the donor drive can't be unidentified. Where I can find this information,do you mean here ?

Hi I failed to do smart hot swap on wd Zephyr with same model and firmware (but last number of rom version was different) is't could be becouse I skipped the microjogs averaged step or the different of last number of rom version ? I didn't find in mrt something like microjogs edit function the...

I can confirm this heads work for me: Patient model hm641jx usb drive pcb BF41-00300A Donor model hm641ji sata drive pcb BF41-00306A Please note ! this will not work for hot swap even though the firmware has the same version and the pcb compatible ,for hot swap the hm501ii with compatible pcb...

And what tool is good for cutting physically middle heads smoothly ?

Hi I wonder what exactly bothers the heads to go over platters scratches is it the preamp ? mechanical limitations ? and it's true if we disable specific head then it can go over severe scratches and survive like this guy claims ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1OcTKDjO2g Thanks

Hi Has anyone had experience in install samsung sata drive heads on his relative samsung usb drive, is there a chance it will matches ? Thanks
