Wanted: Seagate 1TB 7200.11

[SouthBit]

Hi guys,

This time I'm after a Seagate 1TB drive 7200.11

Model required: ST31000333AS

At the time these were pretty common drives, if anyone has one please let me know.

Many thanks

My sub numbers are 524 and 340. What is the difference?

 

[SouthBit]

For example, the ST31000340AS has 4 platters and 8 heads, whilst the ST31000333AS has 3 platters and 6 heads. Nothing that would affect the average computer user, but for recovery it obviously needs to be an exact match.

Hey, i PM'd a user on Carbonite, if its still available then he will respond here . "holds fingers crossed"

Lets hope you get sorted man.

 

[SouthBit]

Thanks

I got a 7200.11 - ST31000 524 AS drive... Sorry.

 

[Praeses]

I might have that one at home, but I'm using it What sort of deal are you willing to make?

 

[SouthBit]

If it is that model and you'd be willing to ship to CT, then you can PM me. Thanks.

 

[Praeses]

Ok, I'll have a look later today if it's the same model

Heheheh... My faulty Seagate collection was also growing... I am sure there are other more rewarding hobbies!

Please define the 'non-working' concept Completely dead, don't spin up? Clicking? Bad sectors?

All of the above. I have various samples in various states of non-workingness.

Will check home tonight and report back. I have 3 different 1Tb Seagates so i am sure i might have a match.

I've got a ST31000528AS that I can send down - If you cover shipping and the replacement cost of 3/4 of a new 1TB, not sure if that's any good to you.

Thanks, but it's a different family of drive so won't work unfortunately.

 

[AstroTurf]

Nope, Sorry, All I have lying around is a ST310000340NS and a ST31000524AS

 

[SouthBit]

I'd like to say a very big thank you to Praeses, he went out of his way to organise his ST31000333AS drive to be sent to me. Many thanks and much appreciated.

Glad to hear. Praeses did ask me about you, Southy. I told him you're not too dodgy.
