It's got at least a FW issue and probably head and/or platter problems, that's its factory alias.

Drive is recognised by family name. If you have the right tool (atola/pc300 etc) post an SA report (If the drive will reach a ready state).

0 LBA means you have no logical data access.

Thanks guys, thought it was FW but didnt know that was the family name, "every day's a school day"

Hi Andy

In this case not much can be done without correct tools/knowledge. I'd try not to run the drive at this point, if your client needs data then it will need specialist attention.

Dropped drives are never much fun (especially if running!)

If its dropped I would say its a head problem. Hopefully you havent been running it for long.
