[BBLISA] Data recovery lessons?

[Shawn G. Doughty]

Scott,

Something that has been of great value to me time and again is being able 
to swap controller boards on failed drives.  If a drive appears to be 
"going bad" and is unreadable just grab a T9 bit take off the controller 
board, replace it with one from an identical model drive then try to read 
the data off using regular methods.
