![]() ![]() I went ahead and hooked up the cloned drive to the controller, and still nothing. I know that WD will use a type of encryption on these drives, so you have to run them from the controller. Unfortunately there is no partition data at all. I decided to just take a look at what I had so far, to see if we were getting any decent results. PC3K was repowering the drive about every 10 seconds, and if I selected any other reset method, it would just lock up completely.Īnyway, when it got around 15% into the drive, so roughly 150GB, it hit another bad sector and I had to reset the drive. The only problem was when it did hit a bad sector every few hours, you just had to restart the drive. I found that PC3K was not a good solution for imaging it, so I used Media Tools which seems to get better results. It images very slowly, but it does move along at an acceptable pace. Anyway, to make a long story short, the drive spins up, and is recognized without any problems. I was able to get the spindle free, and then spent a couple of days working out a couple of residual issues that I had with regard to bad vibration. The last drop essentially seized up the spindle tight as a drum. Had a case come in, where a lady had dropped her 1TB WD Mybook Essential, the bigger 3.5" disk, not once, not twice, but three times over the last couple of months.
