GNU ddrescue as the free software data recovery tool from files or block devices is out today with a big feature release. The new GNU ddrescue 1.30 is improved by “orders of magnitude” for the automatic recovery from drives with a dead head.
Who tf chose that AI “photo”. Phoronix, keep the quality.
Why do you say it’s AI? I see no reason to say that.
The head appears to be sandwiched between two layers of metal. The right hand side has a random piece that has shadows and depth that makes it look deeper than the disk depth on the left.
Also what is that foam cutout over the disk? I have never seen that on drives I have opened.

Seems to be a thing, idk but I’m guessing it’s too control airflow (or, well, hydrogen gas flow)
