    The one in my recording is a Excelstor Ganymede J680 (Hitachi OEM). They're probably mostly identical to the Hitachi lineup from the same timeframe.

    @seanc: wow.. load cycle count at 375567 But laptop drives seem to be more tolerant to this than desktop ones

        I believe they started putting the 'Sudden Motion Sensor' into these MacBook Pro's which park the head if they detect sudden movement such as a drop.
        Either it's overly sensitive or possibly the drive has its own sensor and they don't get on well together. It's been working fine for 2 years. I RMA'd the first one because it developed 1 bad sector after a few months and I wasn't going to put up with that on a new drive.

            **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
            by federalhouse
            Hi everyone,

            I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


            **Background:**

            I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


            **What I've Tried So Far:**


            1. I accessed            ...

            PC case - Hard drive rails
            by tmcw
            A friend gave me his old PC case (with MB, and PSU), but no hard drive rails, he said he only used the 2.5" SSD spot inside, and used an external hard drive for data. He said that he'd have a look for the supplied rails, but I doubt he'll find them.

            So I was wondering if case manufacturers used any type of standard 3.5" hard drive rail?

            I'm used to the various Dell hard drive caddies or rails (and HP and Lenovo to a lesser extent), or el cheapo cases where you screw through the frame to fix the drive.

            Now, the case is a CiT Gaming Case, and...

            Repairing a Seagate hard drive with damaged logic board
            by karto95
            Hello everyone,

            I'm currently facing an issue with my Seagate hard drive that has a damaged logic board. I've obtained a replacement logic board from a donor hard drive, but unfortunately, I'm unable to recover the BIOS of the original board due to damaged firmware. I'm wondering if it's possible to make the hard drive work with this donor logic board.

            I have a CH341A programmer, so I'm hoping that it can be useful in this situation. I've attached the BIOS file .bin of the donor board for reference.

            If anyone has any suggestions or experience with this...
