It’s not as easy to re-format a hard drive as it was in the days of DOS, when all it took was typing the F-Disk command. Scroll through the scenarios below and realize that at 24 Hour Data, our engineers offer comprehensive repair and data recovery services for all hard disc drives and flash memory devices, for any cause of HHD failure. Apologies from yours truly for any inconvenience this may have caused.There are many ways in which a hard drive can fail and it’s important to acknowledge the variety, difficulty and steps to recovery for each. That fell through, so the site is now back to "public mode", as it was before. This is because I was planning to move the site to a more robust and better-organized content system. Note 3: For a while between Q4 2017 and Q1 2018, this site was set to "private mode" in Blogger's settings, thereby completely cutting off public access.
#HARD DISK DRIVE PLATTER FREE#
For that reason, along with due to a lack of free time on my part, I will not be adding these helium-based HDDs to the lists. The main point of incorporating helium is to enable such huge amounts of platters and heads to be used, in order to get around the apparent limits (six platters and twelve heads, as of Q2 2016) of "fresh air-breathing" drives. Note 2: The new helium-based HDDs basically all employ seven or more platters and fourteen or more read/write heads. If possible, please provide a screenshot of benchmark results from, for example, HD Tune or CrystalDiskMark, that display maximum sustained read speeds performed on a blank (not partitioned) volume, as well as the physical weight (use a scale!) of the HDD(s) in question. That said, if you see any drives/models that aren't listed or you feel are listed incorrectly, feel free to sound off in either the comments form of the appropriate section or through the Contact form, and I'll see what I can do. In those cases, I've pulled their information into the lists for convenience.) (Some older company datasheets - such as those for Seagate's Momentus 5400.2 2.5" HDDs - do list platter/head counts for each capacity. This is done instead of purchasing a bunch of drives at once and cracking them all open - that's expensive and wasteful! These lists were originally created because most of the drive makers don't release such information to the public anymore. Also, the contents of this database may change at any moment! For best results (and minimal heartache), please consult multiple sources other than just this site when searching for hard disk platter-related information.Ī lot of the data on this site comes out of logical guessing in other words, from working out which platter density a given generation of drives uses by, for example, analyzing benchmark results and, with that, using simple math to figure out the platter/head counts for specific drive capacities. So, here's a disclaimer: the use of this database is at your own risk, and all information in this database should be taken with a pinch of salt. Note: I try to keep the information updated and accurate, but I don't always get things right.
