The question is more what you want to do – for data recovery you can exchange your head. I would no longer use the plate after such an operation!

So when it comes to the data there are options – but there is also the question whether the whole tools you need will justify the effort than a prof. Data recovery lab would probably be cheaper.

If it’s just about the plate, forget it – every repair would buy you a little time – the plate will fall out like this or something…

You click comes to 90% of a defect head -> headswap and to 10% of a firmware or PCB problem -> firmware repair with MRT / PC3000 or PCB swap.

Why would you open it? They are now often glued and sealed. There’s nix in there to fix or watch.

a hard drive opens

They’ll make the departure, say, destroy

What are you gonna do? Scratch the data off the discs?

Reading Firmware data, using the serial interface or by interpreting the SATA status bits, but you need appropriate tools for this. For opening the HDD by the way…

Well, if this is still within the WD manufacturer’s warranty, ne RMA will make up and then it will be replaced

Here you can check the HDD https://support-de.wd.com/app/warrantystatusweb

but since the NAS belongs to nem, the entire NAS must log into RMA and since you opened it (glue removed, that was a guarantee seal), WD will probably refuse the warranty

yes, then recycle them, buy you a new one, build them and then get the data from BackUp back and finished
