you should run a full drive scan with hitachi's dft.. if the head was stuck to platter, it has damaged part of the platters and the heads, its going to die eventually.
-
Really? I am greatly surprised. Quite strange. You have any idea why it hasn't gone out yet? It should have. You know, dust and all...

This one may just be lucky, or it may just have not had enough run time to destroy itself yet...its only been powered up about 3 times since this video was made. Or maybe any particles that were in it were caught by the internal air filter and itl be fine...who knows. this isnt a mission critical drive at all, and you are right that it isnt fit to be a main drive again...in a customers PC anyway...i may still fit it in one of my own as just extra storage or a swap-file-drive. Or moms computer...

Forget about installing it anywhere. You got it to run and get recognized, that's great. All it's good for now that it's open is to take the data off of it asap. It's been open outside the clean room you cannot trust it even to store the solitaire game.

@parahumanoid Its been back together now for about 2 years...and like i said in my post 2 weeks ago, it powers up and passed a full scan with chkdsk fine and a few days ago i just used it to backup a bunch of files.

Actually i just found this thing in a pile of my junk last week and hooked it up, it still works and passed a full scan with Chkdsk with no issues.

@HighVoltageFag "it has no more bad sectors" The drive still has damage/bad sectors even when you think it doesn't or "fixed them". It just ignores the bad sectors and doesn't go near them to minimize risk of spreading the damage.

@quittix3 When did i ever say "it has no more bad sectors" ? I am well aware of how a hard drive works and the internal functions/algorithms...I believe its possible the only thing ever wrong with this particular drive was the head locking mechanism was jammed...with no bad sectors of any kind to begin with...all i did was run chkdsk on it and then a full format...low level utilities to map out bad sectors were unnecessary. and AFAIK this drive is still working fine.
