Samsung 2.5" Drive

[Philip Shaw]

The closest thing I have found to a guaranteed recovery is a 2.5" Samsung drive with stiction. I have never failed to get all of the customer's data on one of these. Easy money.

Hi Sachin. Sorry about the delay but I have been on vacation. Usually when I have this problem I gently turn the spindle counter-clockwise and also gently move the arm towards the ramp. On these drives, it always seems to come loose and move to the ramp with only minor physical damage to the platter (if any). If it is really stuck and this won't work you can try putting a business card between the arm and the platter on both sides and see if you can't loosen it. Any severe motions during this process could break off the head but I have had 100% success.

Good luck,

Philip Shaw

I have found using ER-Tools head swap tools are great for unsticking heads. You never need to touch the platter with the bad heads by dragging it across. They don’t have the correct sizes for all platters, but generally they are good.
