WD10TMVW-11ZSMS4 Encrypted disk

WD10TMVW-11ZSMS4
Drive has 6 head. H3 bad
I have tried Head map in DE, All head transfering data properly with no bad sector.
But I recognised drive encrypted. Customer said never used password.

I could decrypt data. But there is scraching noises when image with decryption.


So my question, I am thinking about clone encrypted data to target and decrypt from target drive.
Is it posible to decrypt this data from target drive after clone ?
My target drive 3.5" WD10EARS

Ok.
Quick solved.

I closed H3 in RAM. Now everything ok.
I could image 5 Head ( without H3) nice and full speed.

use decryption by file (encryption module) instead of decryption from SA on runtime. maybe it will help.

I would try that later. I am imaging properly right now

Is it just me, or why wouldn’t you change heads if one head is scratching?

I guessing maybe that client is totally unwilling to pay for parts and headswap for better chances of full recovery and would be happy with partial recovery?

I gave cheap cost for partial recovery . Client accepted all risk and cheaper solution.
Imaging full speed no slow or bad sector till now. Its around 65% now. I guess, 5 head would give all data .
If she accept head swap at first , I would follow same steps. First image working head and head swap. This is my way.

5 working head imaged 100%
Lucky me and client

Good job.
Helios are always tricky

Fair enough, that’s what I figured.

If client chose a partial recovery, I would have cut the "scraching" head before any data extraction.
I never image working heads before a swap, but that is my way
