WTB: dead WD 3tb drives

[mikey976]

I know this is an odd request but looking for dead 3tb drives specifically WD greens.

trying to potentially recover some data. on a pair of drives that failed.
I'm fairly certain the controller went on my drives.

please let me know what you have and your asking price via PM

Interesting bump!

looks like you may need a board match and a firmware transfer

I actually have one that just expired the warranty. I am waiting to see if WD will replace it and if not we can probably work out a deal.

I'm pretty sure you need to get drives that have perfectly matching pcbs.
