Try using actual good software like R-Studio, UFS Explorer, DMDE, etc. Not that garbage. No, formatting again will make the data less recoverable, not more recoverable. Anyone who says otherwise has no clue.

If it's the very outer edge, then it might not be catastrauphic. But, it's no sounding like a DIY case in any event.

I don't care if you want to talk about or discuss your business on here, but that post was just an outright advertisement. Spam somewhere else. This forum is for meaningful discussion.

Information is useless if you don't have the tools and expertise to handle a case. Do you own a cleanroom, head combs, PC-3000? If not, you are out of luck my friend. You can't even properly diagnose the issue without those things, let alone recover the data. It's not that we don't want to...

Test these with a multi-meter to see if there are any short circuits. Those are the TVS diodes. Also, did you try connecting just the PCB to the computer to see if it still trips the power supply? It seems odd that the same PCB would work on one HDA and trip the power supply when connected...

Did you check the TVS diodes on the PCB to see if one is short-circuited?

Translation: I also have a hard drive of the VeniceR series. same error situation as yours, i am thinking some module error, not head error

I just sent you a PM.

I was referring to the second picture with that plastic tab stuck to the platter. The busted parking ramp makes sense and I've seen cases like that before.

Uh oh! Seems you've made a "friend" already Fairuz.

If you want to save some money, you can also just buy replacements on AliExpress. I've used these and they work just fine: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001038455207.html

Looks like maybe that plastic thing is something the prior company used to remove and inspect the platters??? Never seen that before.

My money is on G4311A since that's what the SATA MQ04ABF100 uses.

Welcome to the forum Freddy, nice to have someone with your level of experience join in!

If you resume going the SAME direction it'll pick up where it left off. If you REVERSE the direction, it's starting at the opposite end of the LBA range and therefore will not resume. It's doing what it was programmed to do.

No, if you switch directions it will restart from the end and work backwards. The most common use of the reverse trigger is to image up to a bad area, then image backwards to the same area without stressing the drive trying to image through a really bad spot. It's working as intended, but you...

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding your original query then. Adding the -R trigger will make it restart from the end and work backward, regardless of where it had last attempted in prior runs. It's just still only going to actually re-read sectors that weren't previously read based on the logging.

It probably is, but the issue could be as simple as a lot of bad sectors in the file tables or something like that. So pclab's suggestion of using a Linux tool like HDDSuperClone to attempt imaging is a valid suggestion. If it's just bad sectors causing the I/O errors, it may succeed in...

Did you use the same log file as before? That log is how it keeps track of what is and isn't read.

I moved it to the Samsung section and left a permalink in place so it'll still resolve. No worries, there's no nazi moderators here, just normal people. I couldn't hear it either, even at max volume. Can you tell if the platters (disks) actually are spinning, or is it just a beep/hum and it...
