There are two Caviar21000's on sale right now @ Ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1221925254 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1221010546 --gary gary r. tennesen [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: PCBUILD - Personal Computer Hardware discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Rick Glazier Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 6:42 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PCBUILD] I Need an old Western Digital hard drive I have only really "toyed" with data recovery, and have a project I'm stumped on. I need a WD 21000 drive (actually the "logic board") to see if a HD can "give up" a small amount of data... You oldest "family" computer died extremely suddenly with no warning... It had a DDO and Ghost was useless, sort of, before or after... Vintage: 12/1/1995 Specs: Caviar 21000 1083.8MB mdl: wdac21000-ooh p/n 99-004176-000 ccc: b1 1 dec 95 dcm: bdabgap I'd buy one (cheap), if anyone knows of a place that "retires" old drives before they totally fail. Bad clusters not a problem... I'm really only after our Christmas card database, (All "those eggs" were in one basket <frown>...), and am interested in the challenge and experience. Any leads to "suppliers" specializing in this would be appreciated... (Auction dealers, etc...) Data recovery places are not an option. We have a year old back-up and an incomplete, current "hard copy".
