[sdiy] SCSI hard drive?

[Tim Parkhurst]

If you REALLY need the data off that drive (you HAVE been making regular
backups, right?), then I would suggest

1) find a spare Barracuda and just swap the boards, OR

2) take it to a data recovery specialist. The really good ones have clean
rooms where they can disassemble the drive, yank the platters and mount them
on another setup to read / archive the data to a new drive.

Best of luck!
