Weird. That's interesting. Why did I think WD and other companies would just keep churning SATA interface drives forever and ever.
- justinclift 7y agoWonder if the physical hdd part itself is identical to the SATA models, and swapping over the control board from a (eg dead) SATA one of same capacity (& platters) would work?
- zaarn 7y agoUnlikely, in a modern (high capacity) drive, the firmware contains quite a bit of calibration data for all the components. You'd probably have to perform a factory reset and reformat of the physical disk blocks.
- justinclift 7y agoGood point. Probably not useful for extracting existing data from a (eg dead) drive. :)
