A search for TAH71DP0 turns up a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus, model 5T040H4.

SSSSHHHH !!! Shut up ! Attention please ! :lol:

If you look into one relevant module of the FW of a XW400A , header is :

5A1Y(ùº

... later...

Nikimi NIK-XW400A A1Y.1312000000000000GENERIC

This means that the drive ACTUALLY IS............ ?!? (all the seasoned pros have already answered)

There are more clues.

Oh, and Maxtor "5Txxxx" are a totally different thing.

:mrgreen:

P.S. @Amarbir, they all have some peculiarities and broken modules. If you want to do some "magic" you have to do real sorcery otherwise it won't work :D
