WD SED drive recovery help

[terminator2]

hi all
I have got WD10SPZX SED drive (palmer family) ,This is first time I am dealing with SED drive.
Unfortunately this family is not supported in my udma (I think mine is v6.4). Disk is getting detected but getting lots of read errors.
I cant run WD slow solving solution from utility.
Is there any way ,I have to recover only single folder .

Backup all resources first if you can first, try to read via utility

Hi,

the first thing is to diagnose it properly. You need to be able to decide wether it has bad/weak heads or if it is running defrag in the background. These drives can surprise you with some interesting behaviour and i think the currently available commercial solutions will not be of much help to achieve your goal...

Wo great Thanks a lot pepe sir & cpm1993

Yes I totally agree with you , now major hurdle is since this family is not supported in UDMA , I cant enter in utility.
Can you pls. suggest nearby matching family so that at least I can start utility and take backup of fw first.

hi HddDonorMarket

Thanks. This article gives details of TRIM command implications on SSD's.
In my case drive is SED type .I cannot enter in utility ,neither take fw backup or do virtually anything.
All I can do is to use DE without utility support. So i cant create headmap nor use WD slow problem solving function.
In short nothing.
