moLD Sectors

[Philip Shaw]

Good morning. I have a Seagate Slim drive that images well under Heads0-2 and most of the time Head3. But it will hit spots throughout the drive where it reads the moLD sectors one after the other. Any ideas as to whether this is a weak head that works most of the time or these sectors are physical damage on the platter? Or something else?

Thanks.

It's corruption to the secondary translator caused by weak heads. A head swap can help (sometimes) or altering AFH (available in MRT) will also help.

Recently, I see video from another MRT-LAB they do the head adaptative parameters to fix 241A and read the sector correctly without change the heads

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lKvzmVMBM4

I ask ACE TS to apply this method in PC-3000 utility

That what they replies:

This is a very dangerous action - reducing the gap between the head and the surface.
Developers are aware of this but will not add this action to the utility.
Very high risk that many drives will have scratches on the surface from head touching the surface

========

Our developers experimented with heads adaptives.
The results are poor - about 80 percent of the time the heads fail to read.
Only replacing the heads helps.
The utility does not and will not have such an opportunity.

Too much guessing here! Seagate slim doesn't have a second translator...

your case seems to be bad heads, next time better give drive model, seagate slim it's too wide...
