Hard Drive Identification
Posted: 10.04.12, 23:13
Can anyone help me to identify this drive recovered from a cctv unit following an arson.
I am pretty certain it's an Hitachi HDT7xxxxxx.
I've done a platter swap into a donor case but need to try to find a donor board to swap the removed NV-RAM onto. You never know, it just may work.
Many thanks in advance.

This is more of an exercise than an expectation of data retrieval and yes there is heat damage to the outside edge of the platter.
The pictures below show the HDA of the donor drive I used and the remains of the patient. For the donor I used a Hitachi HDT721025SLA380 but this has a different configuration on the controller board although the board size and shape are identical, which is why I think it belongs to the HDT7xxxxxxx family.
