Re: cannot access external hdd
Just to clarify. If the logic board in the USB enclosure is dead, the drive is probably still usable in another enclosure or directly connected. But if the logic board on the drive itself is dead, nothing can access the drive. I've heard that modern drives are so sensitive that they have finely-tuned parameters for that particular set of platters stored on the board, so even if you could swap in a logic board from another drive of the exact same make and model, it still wouldn't work. I assume the reason is that no two magnetic platters are ever exactly the same, even if they were made at the same factory, in the same batch, on the same day, by the same people and processes.
