Those drives are shot, dude.
I pasted this thread up 5 times before I decided to check it out.
Thats a good way to let out some frustration. Reminds me of the movie “Office Space”
It was pretty fun. I hadn’t used my mosin in a while nor put some AP ammo to its intended use. Probably should have named the thread something more appealing.
I’m about to do that to one of mine. Crashed the heads, and the data on it isn’t worth the cost of recovery.
I would say those drives are completely unrecoverable.
A quick and easy way to render a drive safe for disposal. Recommended.
