Drives, please drop me a note off-list. I just had a PS failure and it
"took-out" a drive with some fairly critical data. I believe the board
(rather than the platter itself) took the bullet, and I want to explore
options before sending the drive out for $6K+ in repair costs.
You need to find a HD of the same type, and replace the circuit board.
It is easy and if it does not work, I suspect what those $6K+
companies can do.
