Anyone got real good experience recovering data?
I know about a few tricks over the years, I've dealt with a few dying drives, some unrecoverable some not.
Anyhow, thing is this drive is a weird one.
No reported bad sectors.
Spindle motor is totally fine, not ceased (so freezer trick is meaningless)
Drive isn't better when cold or hot.
Issue is the drive is reading at /literally/ .05kb/s in some sectors of the disk, it'll "I/O ERROR" in Ztree when copying some files. Others - it copies without a care in the world (slow as HELL!) but it'll copy them, no errors.
I dunno if it's mid sector remapping or what - chckdsk simply isn't an option. Takes long enough on a 3TB disk that's running 100MB/s - current speeds it just dies / drops out.
Any ideas? The data isn't SUPER SUPER important but I'm happy to leave it in a caddy running for weeks on end if some kind of tool can coax the data off.
Also - anyone seen this before? SUPER slow disk? What could it be?
