I'll be surprised if the data on this thing

probably due for a low-level reformat YEARS ago. Speed accuracy is
poor at best -- assuming it's a 3600RPM drive, it's running at least
60RPM slow. Compared this to the CDC, which is barely 2RPM off speed
at any given time...
60 RPM isn't bad at all--less than 2%. Your data separator should
have a capture range of at least 5 times that. What matters more is
ISV.
