Contact SupplierMy Passport Western Digital hard drive was damaged since it was drowned. The hard drive was Western digital USB WD10JMVW, which is a popularly available model in portable 1 TB WD USB disk. The hard drive was dried immediately, but due to the accumulation of salt particles and minerals on the surface, the hard drive was non-readable. The client had connected the hard drive to USB port to check for readings, but the drive was not getting detected in any system. The ocean water is mixed with Salt and Minerals which corroded the PCB board and the metal surface of the upper and the lower parts of the hard drive, thereby damaging the PCB board, connectors of the head and the terminal which connects between PCB board and read-write head, the motor contacts. The water had entered the sealed media as well.
