I've come into possession of several 12tb EXOS X18s drives with physical damage to the connectors due to poor placement and handling, I'm relatively sure that the disks are physically fine, I'd like to know whether it would cost less to have the drives repaired (either PCB swapped or new SATA data connectors) or just buy say manufacturer recertified 12tb and if anyone has recommendations for where to have it done in Canada preferably (I don't know how to solder so can't do it myself)
