important to note, that even at a 10% insane failure rate, your drive would be fine 9/10 times, so singular positive experience in hdd terms means nothing. multiple negative experiences mean much, even though a reputation like seagate doesn't come out of no where. they are known to be the crappier option. i mean western digital literally sold and kinda still sells suicide drives. drives that had set load/unload timers set to 12 seconds with 300000 load/unload cycles being the maximum the heads are designed for, so they created consumer drives, that would literally kill themselves over time, BUT STILL seagate seems to be the crappier option. seagate nowadays even dares to sell SMR drives to unkonwing consumers, which by nature have higher failure rates and are more sensible to vibrations. and on top of that have massively slower continuous write speeds. they don't mention SMR (shingled magnetic recording) anywhere on the drives they sell marketing wise, like a lot of their mobile line. so seagate is shit, western digital (owning hgst btw) is shit, but seagate is more shit than western digital, if that makes sense :D

@michtoppien666 well we have limited data to go on, BUT i am for the hgst hms5c4040ble640 having a 0.45% anualized failure rate in a server environment. www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-q1-2019/ only issue is, that that 4 TB isn't produced for a while now :D i got 2 of those and 1 of the same line (ale instead of ble), they are whisper quiet on random access and in general, making them great media drives, BUT not produced anymore. i honestly can't tell u, what a good drive is nowadays, the way i see it now is to avoid the utter shit or super loud drives (most enterprise drives) and look at what's left from western digital/hgst (same company). the drive i got like yesterday was a WD MY BOOK 10 TB drive costing about 200 euros, given that the difference between those or more expensive WD drives is kinda non existent or very minor, people buy specific external drives and take the internal 3.5 inch drive out of them and use them, if nothing else they are at least cheap (33% or more cheaper than internal drives), high capacity and PMR (perpendicular magnetic recording). u may have to use a certain molex to sata power connector instead of direct sata power power from the psu, given how the drive is setup, which is what i had to do, but to me at least it's still worth it.

An easy fix but I can't help wondering how many of these have gone into landfill because of this issue. Since most of the ones affected are above 1Tb, I would fondly suggest that anyone out there with any failed big WD greens send them to me so I can fix them up and build a new server rack LOL :)

yeah the metal will contract slightly when it's cold so that can sometimes unstick the heads. Personally I've found that this isn't generally a reliable fix and I'd be more worried about getting condensed moisture on the drive which will do far more damage than just opening it up (briefly). When I've tried this method I put the drive in a sealable bag with a sachet of dessicant silica gel, and I've had around a 30-50% success with this, compared with 95% success by opening the drive and physically unsticking the heads - although once or twice I had to do it twice to get it properly unstuck - both those occasions were on Seagate Momentus laptop drives

Even if it's a 99.9% chance they're fine, why chance it. You've already taken them out, and there's a 0.1% chance they're bad.

It's actually pretty easy to unstick a stuck hdd. While I'll have to agree that you shouldn't open up hard drives, I personally have never once had a previously opened one fail down the line because it had been opened. The only really good advice is DO NOT touch the platters themselves, as this WILL damage your data. Just opening the drive and turning the platters by means of turning the hub will not in itself damage data (unless the heads have actually gouged into the surface of the platter, in which case the heads are probably screwed anyway) As for the thing about getting dust on the platters, I've nevr found this to be a problem, as long as you don't do this in a dusty environment, and obviously don't leave the drive open for any longer than absolutely necessary. Remember that the disc spins fast (5400rpm or higher) so any loose dust on the surface is going to be thrown right off the disc surface by centripetal force, and will get captured by the dust filter which is in there for this exact purpose. I had to unstick the hard drive on my old laptop around nine years ago, and while I did do data recovery on the drive after it was runing again, that very same hdd is back in the same laptop (which is in almost daily use on my workbench, doing everything from functioning as an audio oscilloscope/logic analyser, usb microscope display and ebay parts ordering machine), and nine years on, the very same hdd is still working without any issues whatsoever, so although in all honesty I wouldn't recommend opening up a hard drive unless it's a last resort, it's comforting to know that if you're careful, this can be a long-term fix. But DO back up the data on it as a precaution, just in case. Interestingly, this problem only seems to affect laptop hard drives. I'm sure that sticktion could happen on a 3.5" hdd I've never seen one myself with this same problem. I guess the tiny spindle motors in laptop drives simply don't have enough torque available to pull a sticking platter away from the heads

The data does show up (not always) when connceted by a USB 3.0 - SATA adapter. But trying to access it freezes the windows explorer and any other program trying to read this drive.

there is not much to explain, other than what you see in the video. I just carefully opened the drive and positioned my hands as shown in the video, in order to give a small turn in the platters (with one hand) while moving the heads back into the parking space (with the other hand). Watch carefully the video and believe me, I didn't do anything different other than what's shown there :) That's all you need to do. If the problem is "stuck heads on the platters", after you perform the above procedure, (and close the drive, of course) the drive will probably start and you should be able to retrieve a good amount of data. Just keep in mind that you should not experiment on how many times the drive will start: You do the above procedure, connect the drive and treat it like it's the absolute LAST time it will turn on. Don't expect it to last. Retrieve what you can, as fast as you can, because the drive's life is in a fast countdown !

My easyest recovery when I just flipped upside down the hard drive and the system recognized it. If you don't want to loose your data I recommend to use WD Blue, those drives amazing and mostly easy to recover at home (sorry Steve :). Ones it took 8 days to save the data from a 320GB drive, but the end 10 years of photos and videos recovered fine. I use simple PC and Linux, but there are some pretty stupid devices wich copy the data bit by bit one drive to another, it can be handy if you dealing with bad sectors only. By the way with these prices not worth the risk to try at home. I remember when recovery cost a fortune, then start at $1000, than $500, than $300 and now its $100.

The old school solution for 5-1/4 half height drives was to stand it on it's side, lift it an inch or two on one corner, and let it fall on it's side onto a towel. The sudden change in rotational inertia would often un-stick the heads by shifting the platters. No need to open the drive and introduce dust. This may work on these smaller drives too. Goal is to get the platters to rotate to a new resting position. Do not drop on the bottom or top. You don't want to bounce the heads on the platters.

@@urlocaltokz4863 Stand it on a corner. Let it rotate and fall on it's side. In falling it rotates. In landing it stops rotation of the case, but the platters due to momentum continue to rotate and free stuck platters. Normally it is not a good idea to drop a hard drive. This may recover a broken hard drive for data recovery and it not a long term fix.

This vid shouldn't be called "how to fix it" as that implies people should try (like in the spirit of louis's brand/vidos). it should be called (how they fix it). regarding the head and platter, the best analogy I was given (by a hard drive lab) was "it's like a jumbo jet hovering a couple of mm off the ground. that's how small the tolerances are. The screw tensions are entirely specific too, get those wrong and it's junked. in fact, open it at all in a non-clean room, and it's probably junked anyway. in other words. send it to a lab.

I've fixed a great many stuck drives like this with basic tools and in a non clean-room environment. It's really nowhere near as much of an issue as people think (or as much as the data recovery companies would have you believe). Sure it's a risk, but then so is walking across the road. If you're careful, you'll be just fine, and although once you get it working you should of course back everything up, there's no reason why this shouldn't be a long-term fix (and in many cases it has proved to be just that)

Good show, Steve. I actually just turned down a Rosewood recovery due to not being able to source a donor for it right now. Did a Passport 2TB head swap a little while ago, saved 1.8TB of baby pictures and family data. It's high stakes and very unforgiving but the results are worth more than the money you make. I have been waiting a long time to see Rossmann Group get into DR, excited that it is finally coming to fruition. I started my own endeavors a few years ago and have learned a lot since then, Data Recovery is a really tight industry, a lot of secrecy, glad to see people like you all and Erkin and Amirbir are finally wedging it open, I have been laboring to spread awareness myself as too many people assume their data is toast and that recovery is something only available to big corporations. I have personally saved both wedding pictures and essential fire engine inspection reports in my time doing recovery, it's a necessary evil, but I'm glad to be able to offer it to people. Been a long time fan of y'alls work, a toast and salute from Greenville, South Carolina!

The pinned comment from Mytheroo and expecialy the comments from Louis channel later are good. Ive spend many hours trying to learn and recover data. the older the drive (as in 20 years old or older) are "easier" than newer. Firmware, tiny parts, more complicated IC and firmware tricks to get new heads or pcb to read the data. Realy realy old drives, like a few Kilogram heavy IBM mainframe ones can maybe recovered using a ossilioscope and some fpga in a weekend, these modern babies are a work of art. using Jtag to find multiple cores in the controller, undocumented instructions, firmware both on eeproms and on the platters, alignment only found in the magnetic field.. I lost 20 drives due to experiments. no important data lost. 3 harddrives data lost because heads went into the platters because I did not know. a few laptop drives went total dead after I tried recovering data (I atleast got the 3 excel files the client wanted, but vacation photos where gone). With no money, I will be the last resort. Advice, go find a professional recovery company. only if thats too expensive and you or the person with the sick hdd would love you give it a try (with guaranteed dead drive), go try learn. What those recovery companies have, is money for the right tools and get information from other recovery companies on what to do with a dead drive, how to proceed. its this "closed" community is paying for, getting your invested time and money back by sharing these details. Sure its sad its a "closed" community, but if you have money to get in, you can earn that money back by the repairs. And I dont blame them. DAMM too many people ask me how i fixed their machine for free, or if I can help recover another drive for them. Dude, you dropped your laptop, I did it for a free beer because you where cool. this is the X time and it costs me 3 hours to replace those parts and copy your data. Ow well, atleast I made some friends and got some stuff for free... but someone has to pay the rent, food and buy a new car. if you realy want and read all this way, follow this channel from Louis and maybe visit, register and go find experts on hddguru dot com. (bios-mods dot com for bios mods, hacks, fixed) and learn what Jtag, serial ports and hexediting is.

This isn't a expensive or exclusive HDD. It's a budget, run of the mill HDD. Generally, more expensive HDDs are better. I can't think of a HDD where the more expensive one isn't better. You can find $120 HDDs that are not as good as a $110 HDD, but that's just retailer price fluctuations. Significant price differentials are what I'm talking about. A $300 HDD will be better than a $100 HDD.
