Spinrite is snake oil that does not recover data. I wrote a blog about it quite some time ago - http://www.recoveryforce.com/spinrite-a-data-recovery-program/.
Deepspar has a great youtube video explaining why read ignoring ECC does not work any more on pretty much any current hard drive...
I'm not sure you fully understand what I'm seeing. A drive can't remap a sector when it is powered off. Let's say that you get sick and land yourself in the hospital for 2 months and your computer is powered on during that time. Don't you think it reasonable that your data on your computer...
I've been conversing with a technician at Ace Labs (the makers of PC3000) and they have found this too. Apparently, they setup 8 EVOs 4 months in advance for data recovery training and when training day came, 3 of 8 lost the root catalog and files were corrupted. 2 months later, they were up...
I just finished a data recovery project from a 750GB EVO and have learned a lot about these drives in doing so.
The TLC NAND starts dropping bits within days or weeks of data being written to the sectors. So, after time, the drive starts to slow down when having to rely heavily on ECC to read...
I don't have a lot of data recovery contacts in India. But, there is one lab that I do assist remotely, from time to time, that might be able to help.

As I've never been there, nor know the them any more than a few remote support sessions, use them at your...
The sata connection is the same, but I doubt that most laptops are designed to supply the extra power needed by 3.5" drives, let alone have the physica space to hold the larger device.
Sorry, but not a DIY case. Hopefully it is just a firmware issue, but likely caused by media damage.
When seeking a local pro, it should cost less than $500, assuming the heads aren't toast. With PC3000 and some knowledge of Seagate drives, it shouldn't be too hard.
If you let me know where...
If either the RAID unit or the desktop drive had much use following the deletions, the odds of recovery get lower with the amount of usage.
As already advised, get a clone, scan with a program like R-Studio and copy recovered files to a drive other than the source.
Just as Western Digital had significant issues with PCBs when they transitioned from a marvel chipset to the currently used ROYL chipset, there are always learning curves. Over the past year, I have found that not all Seagate DM issues are as bad as they look, but can very quickly become a...
