    Another source for FW (only PC3K)

    Here you go, I put a PCR file in the folder with the modules and threw it all into a zip file: Obviously they use some sort of compression to keep the files way smaller (makes sense as the SA is full of empty space). Also keep in mind that the PCR database files from DD is entire hdd brands...

    Donor Drives Updates Heads Matching Guide

    Seems that they've done a nice update to this already very useful guide: http://www.donordrives.com/blog/matching-guide I definitely describes the DCM matching more accurately than before. Now they are on par with what I've been doing here.

    Added Quick Reply Highlight Feature

    I've also added the feature where now you can simply highlight the text you want to quote, and a popup button will appear. This should make it much easier to multi-quote should the need arise. Sorry it took so long to add this, had to figure out how to make it work with the theme.

    Does Model Matter For WD LDR?

    Does anyone know if the model really matters for using an LDR so long as it's the same family and consolidated ROM version? Only reason I ask, is that I'm considering putting together a consolidated pack of ldr's for each family and not sure if I just need to do one of each version or one for...

    Easier Seagate DM cases coming in

    Has anyone else been finding that the more recent Seagate DM cases that are coming in are becoming easier? I'm seeing a lot less catastrophic head failures and more and more that are just media cache or firmware issues. I'm actually starting to like these drives coming in now. What are you...

    Tool to short read channel

    I remember seeing a post about a tool to easily short Seagate read channel, but now I can't seem to find it. Anyone know who it was that's selling those?

    Lacie Chrome SSD External

    I have to admit this is a cool looking external: But, what I can't understand is that it still requires a separate wall wart power cable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't USB 3.1 be more than capable of powering up two SSDs? They only draw a couple watts.

    Seagate Sandforce Joint Controller

    I just noticed this controller: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/seagat ... 29289.html Not sure if it's new, but with Seagate and Sandforce working together we are all doomed. They will be impossible to recover. :o :shock: :( :cry:

    Any Reason To Keep WD Tracks In Resources?

    I'm thinking of clearing out all the track files in my collected resources, excluding current projects where I might still need them. Anyone know of a useful purpose to keep these tracks around? I know I've never used a track from another drive to do anything, just the modules. Hey! This is...

    Fixed Issue With Board Attachments

    I don't know if anyone else was having issue attaching images, etc. I didn't realize that phpBB defaults to limit the total amount of uploaded files. I've raised the limit greatly, so shouldn't have any more issues with that for a while.

    Seagate Center Screw Backed Out

    Here's some pictures of what had happened internally on the drive. Perhaps this explains why it backed out. Also I noticed that one of the corner cover screws was broken off, possibly at the factory. I'd guess this all caused vibration that made it fail, but ultimately it was the rubber that...

    Seagate Center Screw Backed Out

    Here's an interesting case. Had an older Seagate IDE 7200.10 drive arrive today and the customer seemed quite certain the issue was PCB related. When I first plug it in I notice that the power connector is a bit twitchy, but with a little wiggling it does spin up fine (probably why they...

    The World Has Gone Crazy!

    OMG, can you say: "Worst role model ever!" I pulled this right from the UN homepage. Seems there will be an entire generation of kids around the world now with the word "Pink" written on the butt of their sweatpants. :shock:
