• This is truuly amazing. ive been having a headache because of my harddrive and almost ordered a new one. So so thankful for this.

• That’s crazy no one ever thinks to just take apart the hard drive and move that hand out the way, and save so much money!

• There is no such a thing as fixing a harddrive under 5 min hack… Maybe just for that case, but the tittle is just a completely misleading.

• A Samsung Drive are basically a Seagate, you can tell by the model number.1 TB and up Seagates have a very bad reliability problem in higher storage capacities, in both 2.5 laptop drives and in the 3.5 desktop models. It's like they're built to fail.

• Shouldn't this be happening in a clean room? How do you keep the dust out?

• I hope one day you'll give me ideas how to wipe my OS drives so I have no data is on them

• Was it Windows or Imac ?

• So he has to do that every 3 days. 😂

• Looks like a video of how to undo screws and then do them back up again 🤣🤣

• The way to fix a HHD is to get a SSD best fix you can make. Throw that moving parts hard drive in the garbage.

• Very good arrangement idea, at least to pass the information to another hard drive, thanks

• When I opened mine it wasn't parked on the platter. Does this mean no luck?

• Thanks for the video very helpful but I thought I had a dead pixel on my monitor for a second 🤣

• What screwdriver dis you use

• slaps roof of hdd
  You can fit so many bad sectors in this puppy… lol

  Gonna try this with 2 drives I have. Not much to lose since one hdd is an IDE from Win98 (or early XP) era and the other just crapped out with me swiftly moving the laptop. Didn't think it was even using the hdd since I was in a usb boot environment.

• Thank's for your sharing…..

• Finally something useful. I kept telling people i Just want to recover the data onto a new drive and they're telling me about software and all this crap and that it's "Too risky" to take it apart and they refused to help. I have 2 laptop drives that I know the heads are stuck. Thing is, now I have to find a screw driver for them lol

• Thank

• Thank you for this. Question is, why do Tech shops charge so much to recover data? This is why people have to resort to try and do this themselves. Of course some issues may take a lot longer to fix but when it is something like the issue in this video, they will still charge way over what they need to.

• I have a 8TB external desktop drive. When I connect to file explorer I can see the file directory, but when I try to copy or transfer files, it stops and then I get an input/output error. Deleting files is also giving problems, sometimes resulting in the I/O error. In Disk Mgmt it says the drive has healthy status. I ran Chkdsk /f. The first time it said the disk had RAW files and couldn't do a chkdsk. The 2nd time chkdsk completed as normal, but it said there was an unspecified error. I'm not looking to repair the drive, only to recover data.

• Another computer life saving youtube video. I don't know what I would do without you guys.
  Thank you (and I already clicked thumbs up)

• wow …thank you

• Does this work for desktop hdd? Thanks
