Re: A Colossal HDD Failure
Think it was a WD205BA or something like that. I got this drive from a dump pile many years ago, so I do not know its history -- it may have been abused in a prior life, so while it may have been solid then, don't know if it's solid now.
Oh hell there's nothing really useful on this hdd. But I thought most "modern" hdds that had voice coil head actuators (pretty much all hard drives that have under 30ms access time) could not be low level formatted as there's no way to recreate the servo data. But indeed those ancient stepper motor drives, LLF is a good thing to try?
Just 50K POH? That's it?
