Hello gurus,
I have this drive above :

WD20EARS-00MVWB0
FW : 51.0AB51
Heads # : 6

All modules OK, heads test read/write OK but shows all sectors ABRT.
Tried translator and smart but no success.
Any ideas?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

What happens with a smart hot swap? Did you try a donor PCB?
