Not the first time i've stripped a head, but the pics may be usefull for others thinking of doing it, or scared to do it because they think its complicated. The pics show the damage and cause...... the reason for me having enough and just splitting my 2.1 TB. What are these called? Very interesting and helpful as I need to do this soon!
