ORIGINAL: WhoreMods
Of the three computers I've lost to drive failures, one of them headcrashed. Now, if you can suggest a way to retrieve data from a disc that looks like more like a demonstration of the sort of non-euclidean geometry HP Lovecraft used to insist higher beings would use for architecture than a disc, I'm all ears.
If the disk plates are intact, you can, with little difficulty, take the stack out of a fried drive and install them in the housing of another drive.
Hard drives are magnetic media, and if the drive has not been in proximity to a high gauss magnetic field, the data should be retrievable.
This actually is a common practice with air craft crash investigators, the flight recorders are so badly damaged, they take the disc stack and put it into another drive.
On a side note, upon discovering that drive size was dependent on the number of discs in a stack, I attempted to create a super hard drive....
It was not as simple as it seemed in theory and my attempt failed.
My goal was the first petabyte hard drive (1,024 Terabytes.)
However, now that solid state drives have hit the market, and being the hardware tech/nerd/evil scientist type that I am, I have given up on the petabyte magnetic media drive and am working on a design for a 100 petabyte solid state drive.
I am also working on a mother board layout that would basically be two individual computers in one case.
Dont ask me why this seems to be a good idea, because to be honest, I am doing it to take a break from a home brew ham radio design I am working on.
