How to Read and Write HDD Mini ROM Chips

,

There are many new hard drives using new mini bios chips on the PCB containing the rom modules and hex data. Some PCBs have one mini bios chip and some PCBs have two mini bios chips: rom chip 0 and rom chip 1.

Mini rom chip size: 4mm x 3mm and 3mm x 2mm
HDD Mini ROM Chip Reader Pro. 4-3
HDD Mini ROM Chip Reader Pro. 3-2

If the pcbs have two mini bios chips, users need to read the rom one by one and name them as rom 0.bin and rom 1.bin and when users are going to write rom, users need to write rom0.bin to rom 0 chip and write rom 1.bin to rom chip 1.

These new drives are mainly Seagate new drives, Seagate helium drives, WD hitachi helium drives and also some other new drives too.

To read and write the rom contents, users need to use the latest Mini ROM Chip Reader here.

How to Select Correct HDD Head Replacement Tools

,

Dolphin Data Lab offers the most cost-effective hard drive head replacement tools to data recovery engineers worldwide for successful physical hdd data recovery.

In many patient drives, the actual platter and head number are different from the designed physical platter and head number. Some of the heads can be cut physically and are not used at all. For example, the patient HDD was designed to have 4 platters and 8 heads but actually the patient HDD has only 3 platters and 6 heads.

The following is one example HDD-MQ03ABB200M:

Users can check the parking ramp carefully and can find the parking ramp has 4 separators(4 platters) and therefore users need to select one head comb with 4 separators.

Recover Lost Data from WD Hitachi Helium Hard Drives with UNC Common Firmware Failure

, ,

Data recovery labs receive more and more data recovery cases to get lost data back from Western Digital Hitachi Helium hard drives. Among all of these Helium hdd data recovery cases, UNC firmware failure repair and recovery is very common case.

It’s not possible right now to fix the common firmware failure of UNC by the existing hdd repair and data recovery equipment in the market but from now on, Dolphin team have found one unique data recovery solution to fix the UNC common firmware failure and finally get the lost data back.

There’re many WD Hitachi helium hard drives of 8T,10T,12T,16T,etc. Users can connect these patient drives to desktop computer SATA ports and test the hdds by one software to see if they report UNC error. Users can also connect these helium patient drives to the existing hdd firmware repair hardware and see if they report UNC error.

After the UNC error is confirmed, users can use the special common fw repair solution to get the patient drives repaired and finally get the lost data back. Sometimes users may get ABR errors from the patient Helium hard drives but ABR error usually indicates the patient helium hdd head damage failure or other failures. If physical failure, users need to swap heads to continue the recovery process.

If you wish to recover lost data from Western Digital Hitachi Helium hard drives, feel free to email to sales@dolphindatalab.com or add Dolphin Skype ID: dolphin.data.lab
