All of that residual waveform > stuff is no longer detectable on modern drives. Too hard. You show evidence that it cannot, including all variants of platter imaging. Didn't say the drive "as delivered" could do it. I worked in the most advanced read/write end of the industry doing modeling, etc.. If you have, you probably wouldn't ask. If you haven't you might not have the PRML analysis, head design variant knowledge, knowledge of excess written space in data imaging on tracks, and spin stand background to follow the evidence. Didn't say it was easy or cheap. Did say it isn't trivial. Chuck
