Efficiency source Seagate 7200.7 hard drive Hot swap data Recovery tutorial

Seagate 7200.7 is the Seagate K7 hard Drive, which is now a significant part of the data recovery market due to its large output. The most common problem with this 7200.7 HDD is the F-class.

What is Class F?

Seagate hard drives are divided into many modules when designing instructions. At the same time, the instructions are graded differently to facilitate the memory and management of the development engineer. Class F is the registration that works only in board mode. This level is not dependent on the disk itself.

The heat exchange technology is also one of the means to solve this kind of hard disk body is not ready. The principle is to use a good disk that is ready for normal recognition, to load the firmware into the cache of the hard disk, and then to stop the drive's motor. This good plate to replace the circuit board to the bad disk, so that you can avoid the bad disk at startup time to read the required firmware parameters, the hot-swap circuit board will save the hard drive firmware parameters, so as to avoid the need to read the startup firmware, you can solve the problem of the non-recognition disk. However, after the heat exchange, the hard drive can not power off. After the power outage, the information on the hard disk board will be reset, and the bad drive will be re-read the firmware on the disc body. In the heat exchange when you need to find a bad disk with the same model number, the same circuit board model of the good plate. For the Seagate Hard Drive, 7200.7 and previous hard drives, the heat exchange effect is obvious, 7200.8 after the effect is not ideal.

The following is an example of a Seagate 7200.7 hard drive, which describes the specific operating procedures. The model of the disc is: model:st340014a;sn:5jx35951;fw:3.06. The disk after the terminal program has been shown the status of "busy", into the command mode, power off after the display of information as follows:

Because the disk needs to retain data, it can not do F-level repair, Class F repair will destroy the data. Use hot swapping to make the hard drive ready and read the data directly.

After the failure of the hard drive, turn off the power, take down the bad channel, and connect the other parameter matching 7200.7 good hard drive, model: MODEL:ST340014A;SN:3J

x2x0hd;fw:3.54. Turn on the power and wait for the hard drive to ready.

After the status is ready, go to the "Other Actions" panel, click "Stop Motor", wait for the prompt to complete

After completion, the circuit board of the good plate is removed and connected to the disk body of the bad disk in the case of constant electricity.

After the board is good, click "Turn on the motor" in the "Other actions" option and the hard drive will turn up. The status of the hard drive shows a moment of "busy" or "very busy," but wait a minute

The hard drive will be ready.

When the hard disk is ready, you can view the data in the Sector View panel.

To this, the heat exchange process is complete, the data is normal to see, and then through the relevant data recovery software (such as: Datacompass), in the case of continuous electricity can directly extract the required data files!
