Don't worry, it was already effed (you can see the head crash), so we just took it out back and played Baseball with it.

you all

I didn't say anything about the recoverability of your drive. I will though:

It was gone the second the head crashed. […] I AM correct.

Seems like it's not as bad as you think? I follow someone on YouTube as well that recovers data, and often they need to switch out a broken head, yet they can still recover data.

I dunno. Maybe everyone is correct. 😉

    Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact it's been literally used as a baseball. 10k Gs aren't exactly recommended on an HDD where misalignment on the nanometres destroys it all, let alone the dirt, grass, fingerprints, and... air particulate.
