Not likely, though just looking at *how* it fails, if the data'd not |
| 38 |
already been backed up, I'd hold at least a little hope that it's not |
| 39 |
really a problem with the on-disk data, aside from what's been |
| 40 |
corrupted since the problems started, but rather just the controller |
| 41 |
and firmware. If I had a spare drive from the same batch, I'd swap in |
| 42 |
the not-dying controller card and see if that got me anywhere. Since |
| 43 |
the drive's already backed up, though... that one's a new paperweight |
| 44 |
for the desk, and if the data's anything sensitive, physical |
| 45 |
destruction of the drive's the way I'd go to 'secure' it before it |
| 46 |
goes out with the trash. |
