Harddisk hub motor

Harddisk hub motor
It is indeed a BLDC motor. The coils are Y-wound.

The left pad goes to the center point N, the remaining are the 3 phases U,V,W. Single-coil-resistance is about 1.6 Ohm.

The disk's PCB contains a Hitachi HA13645 driver. Unfortunately I just can't find a datasheet for that.

From what I've read so far, driving these with back EMF detection on the un-driven coils could be quite difficult.
