SpyGlass / SpyGlass2 drive, userdata is most likely encrypted.
Read by original MCU or decrypted afterwards.

The latest PC-3000 has a menu just for salvaging/rebuilding the level 2 translator. Try to get as much of those modules as you can using ignore error reading.

Or is it just the header error and no actual bad sectors in those modules?

Have not seen any 4 TB Intenso drives here yet. Will order one.
The sectors you are reading, do they contain any data or just zeros ?

Thank you data-medics and digisupport

I will check today.

For Intenso HDDs - in external drives or in retail boxes you can find different brands(Seagate, WD, Toshiba). No garantie, that if you buy 4TB external drive, you will find inside WD or some other brand.
