Hmmm,
That just has to be bullcrap. As Undies~ pointed out, he is talking 5.3v as against 5.0 volts. That has to be within the tolerances of average quality kit.
Anyway, why should the...

Hi Undies~ I have heard of the variable voltage concept. The idea was to put the drive in a working machine on its own IDE cable with its own Molex. It was suggested that the slight difference in...

I can honestly say that I have never even thought about it. I have used the freezer and have replaced the control card, otherwise I have been able to use software.
If the system has critical data...

Well, a lot depends on why you can't get the data off? If the heads are screwed increasing the voltage won't work. If the platters are damaged or corrupted your software probably won't work either.

Well,
A lot would depend on how the drive "died"...............if the control card or motor have burned out, that would do nothing for you IMO.
The reliable method is to have a "clean lab",...
