Module 02 question on WD drives of the same family

March 22nd, 2025, 11:06

Hi,
As the title says I have a question regarding module 02 on WD drives of the same family (scorpio). Is it the same?
I'm thinking about replacing module 02 from WD3200BUDT with an WD800BEVS module. Is it possible they are the same? The 320gb is locked with an weird Advanced format while the 80gb is all working.

IIRC it was some weird decoder vendor which modified the 02 module and I have to just modify it. I already have the hddsupertool readu and I should figure out how to read and rite the module 02 on the run, but who knows.
