WDC WD40NDZM-59A8KS1 Spyglass 2 Ultra

Another one for ya. It's pretty must the same as PCLAB's method just using wee bits of solid conductor cable instead of wires.

Personally, I'd recommend trying to reconstruct it using a different tool, such as, UFS Explorer Pro or maybe R-studio. Each tool works from a different set of logic. One may work better on one drive (or RAID array) and another tool on a different drive. Also, are you positive you have the...

Got another one for your list here.... WD2003FZEX-00SRLA0 (WD Black) - Rainier (currently not supported by Ace)

Hello folks! I am looking for a recommendation on a particulate counter. I picked up a fairly basic laminar bench and I am about to start practicing on some of the drives in my pile of 300+ recycled drives that I have collected over the last year or so. I would like to make sure that the gear I...
