In the beginning of January, Allan Odgaard managed to short circuit his harddisk. His hope is that someone has an identical harddisk, from which he can borrow the control print to restore his data. "The model is a Seagate ST3660A and the drive parameters are 1057CYL-16HEADS-63SECT-545.5MB." Also see his original message.

Seagate ST3660A needed : Comment 9 of 34 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Joe "Floid" Kanowitz on 16-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 8 (Anonymous): I'm sorry that I can't help, but has he perhaps tried Pricewatch.com? He might be able to buy a same-model drive for $30 or so, and even with international shipping (somehow I doubt you're in the States) it might be cheaper than what a data recovery firm charges.
<This is not an ad, I'm trying to be helpful>I think I might've seen one of these going cheap on compgeeks.com but it's not there right now... If importing a drive (that'll probably cost no more than US$50 plus whatever outrageousness int'l shipping requires) is a possibility, my first thoughts would be to suggest compgeeks.com and compdisk.com; the former tends to have all sorts of old junk at reasonable prices, and I've had a pretty good time dealing with the latter (they seem to be the sort who keep rarities around for odd cases like this)...</"">
On the backup note, some of the newschool OEMs (Amiga partners, or anyone else for that matter) should look into finding a cheap, or at least sunk-into-the-cost-of-the-system way of providing MO storage. After looking at the options, I wouldn't screw around with anything else for business backups (aside from RAID, anyway), although the new burnsafe CD-Rs might make a nice solution if you wanted to do automatic dump-and-dispose backups. Of course, we could've had this years ago (and really nice portable MP3 players now) if Sony hadn't decided to sink MD-Data. |
