Is there actually such a thing? I lost almost all my drives to a power supply issue the other day (3 drives on one cable). The platter drive isnt even trying to spin up and none of them register in bios anymore. It sounds like swapping pcb is not so useful these days but I saw one thread on a different board that was talking about a diode placed on the pcb's that burns out with electrical surges to protect the rest of the circuitry and can often be replaced or bypassed to make the drive function again. The thread was from 2012 though and I am having a hard time finding anything newer.
Does anyone here have good ideas on what I could try out or know where to get some good info? I would guess that data recovery places should know but wanted to see if there is anything I can do myself. The platter drive is just a 2GB segate and the one I care about the least, the other two drives I lost were two 840evo's, one a 500GB, the other 1TB.
