HGST HTS545050A7E680

[ddrecovery]

I seem to be getting a few of the same issues with these drive, ie not reading the PSHT and not being able to load it into the RAM. However I can normally edit the NV-RAM. This drive is a little different. I can open the NV-RAM through Service Information Objects in PC3K but cannot edit it. Is this normal or am I missing something obvious?

Why custom? Choose 5450A7 and detect super on. Under custom it would be like this.

What is difference between HGST & Hitachi as both are related to Hitachi. Failure rate of HGST slim drives is high.

Hitachi = HDD built by Hitachi
HGST = HDD built to Hitachi specs but now owned by WD (FYI HGST= Hitachi Global Storage Technologies)

WD bought their hard drive division but not rights to the Hitachi brand name.
