I know this question has been asked in the context of rescuing data and I know the answer is complicated. All I want to do is replace the PCB because the SATA connector is broken on a 1TB Seagate HDD that has already been replaced thanks to a backup on Backblaze (lifesaver!). I just want to make the drive usable again. If I'm going to reformat the drive anyway, is there any problem replacing the PCB then reformatting the drive?
