Are you a troll, or just that misinformed? It was dead the second the head hit the platter. Disks basically Raid0 across platters. It was dead by then. Now, one disk’s literally been snapped off, and the whole thing has met grass, dirt, fingerprints, scratches, an effed head, and, atop all this, literal shock from the BASEBALL BAT! Even a few nanometres of misalignment makes it unusable. Also, not to mention a PORTION OF THE F***ING DISK IS MISSING IN THE GARDEN!
Neither.
What you don’t seem to understand is neither how physically data gets stored nor how data rescue works.
On your very picture a magnetic disk is visible - that’s where the storage is.
You don’t need the original case, head or even platine.
Now don’t get me wrong please: I highly doubt that w complete reconstruction is feasible. Instead what I’m trying to convey is that the amount of data still on a trash heap that you transformed this disk into is for me utterly impressive.
Holy shit you seem like you’re taking this personally or something. We’re not talking about your grandma here.
Look, if you’re coming straight off of Reddit, we’re nicer than this to each other on Lemmy. Let’s show some respect towards our fellow lemmers here now guys. Here we go now.
I’m sorry if I came across as a bit of an arse. Maybe I am. Issue is, though, that you all are GREATLY overstating the possibility of data recovery. It was gone the second the head crashed. But, to tie this up, I’m sorry if I sound rude (for me, it’s kinda late and I’m tired), but I AM correct.
Seems like it’s not as bad as you think? I follow someone on YouTube as well that recovers data, and often they need to switch out a broken head, yet they can still recover data.
Yeah, but that doesn’t change the fact it’s been literally used as a baseball. 10k Gs aren’t exactly recommended on an HDD where misalignment on the nanometres destroys it all, let alone the dirt, grass, fingerprints, and… air particulate.
Of course, it’s beyond saving now. I think some of us are merely referring to the head crash alone being the definitively irreparable end of the drive. 🙂👍

Look up magnetic force microscopes. http://www.dataclinic.it/magnetic-force-microscopy.htm
So…you’re say there’s a chance…?

I didn’t say anything about the recoverability of your drive. I will though:

I dunno. Maybe everyone is correct. 😉
