Hello, everyone.
Just wondering if hdd pins have any obvious difference than others. (like other than cpu pins, cd/dvd rom pins ect?). I mean the base metal under and yield difference.
I depopulated 350 hard drive PCBs, removed the chips and wanna know which process i should follow for the pins. Or is it worth the trouble? (i mean hobby-wise. even a single gram of yield would make me happy. cost of procedure doesn't matter.)
Roughly half of them SATA, half of them IDE. (Hard disks from between 2000-2015. Mostly samsung, seagate, western digital and maxtor)
Thanks in advance for any kind of response,
Zuma.
