Answer 4

Everything is possible.
Was at a company engaged in the recovery of information on the HDD. At that time, about 50 HDDs were laid out on the table, connected only to the power supply. There was a process of resetting and repartitioning disks. That is, the SMART was reset to zero, the surface was re-allocated and controlled.
Without special equipment, special software and the necessary knowledge at home on your knee - it's impossible.
