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

I dunno. Maybe everyone is correct. 😉
