News Detail
Seagate 7200.10 Platter Swap
DataRescue have developed a system for exchanging platters in the Seagate 7200.10 series hard drives. A very common fault in these series (available in 250Gb, 320Gb and 500Gb flavours) is that the spindle motor freezes solid. You can tell if your drive is suffering from this failure by listening closely to the drive, while power is applied. You should hear a fairly quiest "buzz - buzz - buzz" sound and the drive refuses to spin up. This is usually caused by an external USB device being dropped, but can also happen to desktop drives. The only solution is to remove the head stack and platters and re-assemble into a good chassis. This is usually a relatively straightforward procedure, but inside these drives there are plastic platter guards in between each platter. This prevents regular platter replacement tools being used. We have developed a system to overcome this obstacle, while retaining platter alignment relative to each other (if the platters go out of alignmant whatsoever, it's "bye bye data!"). We offer this service both to retail customers and to other Data Recovery companies (many of which have taken us up on this, please call for discounted prices).
