i didn’t realize it was such a delicate process. I knew catastrophic failures could cause data loss. Especially while reading or writing, but I didn’t know that could be the case just opening and repairing the drive. TIL
Yup. Shit has to be aligned perfectly. Just a head transplant has someone putting a specialized comb into the diner drive to hold things perfectly in place to be moved.
And some drives or even filled with inert gasses to pump back in.
The process is specialized and to non-trivial for the average person.
