Warning to Recover Data from New Seagate C6 C8 Drives

,

To recover lost data from new Seagate C6 C8 hard drives becomes more and more challenging, specially when the patient drives have PCB or ROM failure.

These C6 C8 drives have double rom chips and the main chip is locked and closely connected to the firmware security and the main chip and rom chip may work together to affect the hdd recognition and even physical heads’ r/w capabilities.

For the Seagate C6 C8 drives, users just need to read one of the two ROM chips, generate unlock ROM and then write unlock ROM. One rom chip contains valid hex data, the other rom chip contains encrypted hex data and is not used.

For the Seagate C6 C8 drives, if the PCB is damaged, it’s very difficult to fix it by simple PCB swap. Many users have tried to swap PCB to fix cases, but most users failed and wasted many donor PCBs and even destroyed the heads.

For the Seagate C6 C8 drives, users can read rom by the following two methods:

01: Read/write rom by programmer, users may need to solder the rom chips off and read and write;
02: Read/write rom by rom chip adapter without soldering rom chips off;

Chip-on HDD Flash Programmer Smart

All-in-one ROM Chip Adapter Smart
