I do video work and have a 4 drive raid 0 with 4 500 gig sata drives (2 terabytes). One of the drives failed. I am lucky that all of the drives are manufactured on the same date Dec 28, 2006 and all the boards are the same number. I am able to place another PCB and get the drive spinning and recognized (it would not spin before). I plan on doing a sector by sector transfer to a new drive and getting the raid back.

I am getting read errors trying to do the sector copy. Do I need to have the EPROM chip moved from the original card? I am doing a sector transfer from one of the 3 remaining good drives so I will have a spare board.

Or should I be able to fix the unreadable drive with a utility to rebuild the file tables?

Or is the head also fried?

The drives are WD5000YS

Sticker on the boards is

Number on the boards is:
2060-701383-001 Rev A

You can read some sectors, but not others, that means your board is fine and there is no need to temper with a boards anymore.

There could be several reasons for errors, bad heads, Media damage, SA (Service Area) issue.

You need good diagnostics and good software/hardware to fix your problem.

when I tried the sector by sector copy. I receive a read error every time, after about 9 of these and no data moved I stopped it.
