If it wont work then we know why it looks like this. * Quantum TRAILBLAZER TRB850A / 840AT 850MB P/N TR84A011 Rev. Quantum TRAILBLAZER TRB850A is working fine but not all was smooth sailing. Initial testing revealed some problems with the Quantum. The read /write graphs in HDD Tune were kind of bad. The tests were made using an Abit Serillel adapter, AT PSU, ExpressCard - eSATA card, on my Acer Aspire 5315 laptop. The most important fact is that it has no reallocated sectors and the motor works well.įirst, the HDD was put through several cycles of ERASE and VERIFY in HDD Tune, followed by another set of ERASE and VERIFY cycles in HDDScan 3.3 - on Windows 10. #ELPINA MOTHERBOARD LPINA SOCKET 7 V1.6A WINDOWS# HDDScan has shown some sectors with delays. The files on the HDD were from 1999/2000 and they were ERADICATED! These delays were consistent and I was pretty sure that the years it stood in storage, a bad PSU, inadequate storage and other factors have made the HDD to not function properly. I ran a HDD Regenerator test on Win 10 to see the real state of the HDD. Next I took the HDD and I put it in the rack from the PIII-550 build and I ran three passes of HDD Regenerator. Look how nicely the read graph goes down and remember how it looked before. I also ran Atto, and Roadkil's Disk Speed tests on Win 98SE. Seagate Medalist ST38420A - the situation wasnt pretty at all. I hooked it to a PSU and when I saw that the motor was not working I knew it was kind of done for. I removed the PCB and after I saw burn marks I knew for sure it was done. This was the motive that it looked strange with the removed metalic cover. Today I took my sweet time and I've returned these two beauties to their original glory! I kept the PCB, the screws, the magnets and the rest went into the trash.Ĭase closed! I'm not keeping broken pieces of hardware and especially broken HDDs.ģdfx Voodoo 1 - Diamond Monster 3D PCI 4MB & Creative Labs Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT - CT6710 - 16MB AGP - IN THE HOUSE!!! The owner maybe didnt check the PCB or he tried to spin it by hand.etc etc etc. Some battle scars remain, but a V1 is still a V1 even knee deep in the dead and a TNT is still a TNT under a foot of rubble. #ELPINA MOTHERBOARD LPINA SOCKET 7 V1.6A WINDOWS#.
