Someone brought me a dead Hard Drive with important data on it. Only the electronic part of it seems to be broken as a short circuit occurs when connecting it to power. I tried powering it up with another controller and the disk spins but since the “test” controller does not have the same capacity I still couldn’t access the data.
The thing is:Where to get a Replacement controller ?
In the old days before the Internet it was near damn impossible to get a replacement controller short of finding a similar drive somewhere which would often not work since there are several revisions of Hard Disk Controllers.
Lucky for me, I stumbled onto this website which offers controller for a large number of Hard Drives.

They have a nice wizard to help you pick up the proper controller.
I’m waiting for the controller.
I just wanted to let fellow techmates that this is now easier to find and can save your butt.

It works perfectly ! Even Better than Siphon.
