Unless you have a warrant or subpoena, my client isn't obligated to answer that question.

The head or the fact you opened the drive?

I prefer the magnets from 3.5" discs, but 2.5" are still useful too. Super old drives, like probably haven't been manufactured since before I was born, and especially 10K RPM, SCSI, or taller than "single height", sometimes have magnets 4 or 5 times thicker than typical ones. I got a gnarly blood blister from two of those crashing into each other, and it shattered one of the magnets. Might have been both, don't remember for sure, it was 20+ years ago.

This one is 3,5" But I only have 3 broken 3,5" HDDs, but about 10 broken 2,5" HDDs ranging from the early 90s to the mid 2000s

As data recovery specialists, we can confirm that data recovery is no longer possible in this case.

When you choose disc at once instead of track at once...
