@fzabkar you are right about DMDE you said it many times in other forums to, its very good. I have been watching YouTube videos comparing the DD Command and DMDE since its a good way to get a visual on their completed steps before I start and come to those steps. Both approaches seem quite...

hello xiayizju has any of these steps worked out for you? I'm in your same situation with a WD RAID 0 POS! and weighing out options on many of the same routes you were thinking of.

...and mine to, my first-and-last, RAID 0 comes set up by default from Western Digital in my experience, I don't know about other brands. But for a regular computer user that has never dealt with RAID configurations before, I agree with what DSzymborski said "but for >99% of consumers, it's...

After reading alot of stuff and watching lots of YouTube videos these past few days, I'm thinking that this is a burnt out voltage diode on the either the PCB attached to the external drive casing or the PCB in the housing enclosure itself or both because this was a water-damaged short somewhere...

If I bought a SATA Hot-Swap Docking Station (if they come set up for RAID 0 drives, I don't know?) would the drives sync up and work or would they not because the RAID configuration may be stored in the PCB of the old housing - the WD MyBook Studio Edition II housing that it came with? Also if...

I didn't even know what RAID 0 was until this happened to me and it was explained as such. I just bought the drive and it came like that by default. If I had known that RAID 0 was such a stupid concept then I would reformatted the drive before using it. But nothing I can do about it now.

Why am I not able to upload a photo of the drives from my computer as an attachment or inline in the content body? Do I need approval from an admin to upload photo media?

well I can't abandon the effort, I need the data so I have to try anything I can. the RAID 0 was set up that way by default I think because it said 6 TB for disk info when they are 2X 3TB drives. yeah, I using that SATA-USB cable, but its probably not transmitting any real power to spin them up...

Upon closer inspection I see that one of these PCB's has a darker discoloration on some of the metal mounting points on the PCB. I took side-by-side pics of them here. So I'm guessing that one of these boards had the water affect it more than the other and maybe has shorted out causing this...

to USAFRet - these WD MyBooks are strange whereby the drive is plugged into a power source via AC adapter but does not power on unless you plug it into the PC so I had it in that configuration I believe?... but now thinking about it, I'm not sure because this was more than a month ago. to...

I have tried the SATA-USB cable direct route and it didn't work. the drive itself is dried out, there isn't any moisture or water on the drive, and I hope not inside it, but I would be too scared to bake it at a high temp for a long time, can anything else be done?

Hello, this is my 1st post and the reason why I joined. I have a water-damaged hard drive 6TB that had water on-or-in it for 1 day and then I dried it out. I see no water corrosion damage anywhere on the drive itself or the internal control board in the chassis or housing. This hard drive would...
