Cool. So the speed of the spinning does not need to be some constant?
- kstenerud 15y agoYou just need to get the drive spinning. The motor will set it to a constant speed, but when the drive has seized, it can't start the platter spinning to begin with. However, once you open the drive, you have VERY limited time to copy the data off since it's designed to run in clean room conditions (internally).
