WD40NDZW-11MR8S0 SpyGlass 2??

[colanco]

Does anyone have any information about this family? Spyglass2?

Doesn't look like SED, SA access is clean, however the data seems encrypted somehow....

Hi ,
Can You Upload C5 Module Of This ,If You Can find out its SA based encrypt or a sector has key ,Might be you can read that into file and provide tool a file and decrypt it

It's Spyglass2.

This is Spyglass2 family
The drive uses CPU Key as part of the data encryption process, so original PCB is a must for data recovery.

Doomer Sir ,
This Means We Convert Each Original PCB To SATA And Work ,Is That So

In a way, yes.
But Spyglass2 PCB is locking access to the SA (the same way as Palmer and Charger drives), so converting it to SATA is probably not the best way to recover the drive.
Imaging drive without disabling certain features (that require SA access) is dangerous and could lead to data loss.

Spyglass2 drives are truly hard nuts to crack and nightmare to work with.

3 of them so far, had to work with them via USB.
Luckily, I was able to access parts of RAM and work with it to make it go faster.

The particular problem here is that by native PCB (USB) there is no access to UA, by SATA full access to SA and UA but data is encrypted in UA. There is no slow problem.

Conversion to SATA gives clean and full access to SA (Not SED), at least in this case.

ROM changes when changing to SATA PCB (I read about a possible modification) Discarded in this case as no exchange was made (it was reprogrammed).

SATA PCB is unlocked I haven't tried with a locked one...

Why?
What's the drive behavior?
What's the initial problem?

[colanco]

Why?

I don't know, so I'm asking...

What's the drive behavior?

normal operation, just like a passport with a password, although in this case it is a elements

What's the initial problem?
