Sometimes on WD if one or more heads are bad or weak the translator will not initialize and you will not have data access.
Is pcb native ? Does the drive id with correct model ?
Was the drive working on a pc or was it pulled from a dvr or some other machine ?


You are absolutely right here "Splidit"
One of the heads is weak, i never thought of this i will try changing it and update
PCB very much native and drive id with correct model.

Thanks
