Yes that is true, but the pcb can be quite hard to get for older models that are likely to fail about now.Not sure whether it's 100% true as I've not actually tried it myself but, I have heard of folk on extreme overclockers forums etc being able to recover data from, and even re-use a HDD with pcb failure by replacing the pcb with a pcb from the exact same model of drive.
You need to be positively sure that the failure is in the PCB (or in the HDD).Not sure whether it's 100% true as I've not actually tried it myself but, I have heard of folk on extreme overclockers forums etc being able to recover data from, and even re-use a HDD with pcb failure by replacing the pcb with a pcb from the exact same model of drive.
I have two hard drives and back them up to flash drive and DVD.Best plan is back up early, back up often.
