[ale] Hard Drive recovery of data help please

[Dustin Strickland]

The board would be on the outside of the drive, though you would have
to remove it from the enclosure first(and possibly buy an electronics
repair screwdriver set with Torx bits). I would go with dev null's
advice first. I try to stay away from most USB devices
except for keyboards, mice, and flash drives so bypassing the cheap
boards they use in those things didn't even cross my mind.
