Yes, it supplies 5v to a pin on the drive.

It's possible to make yourself too.

pcimage, how to make one up?

Starling, the safe mode does not work with Diamondmax plus 9 SATA model 6Y160M004721A

Yes it does

I just tried it

BTW, I made a mistake. The 5v to pin solution is for Sabre SATA, not Calypso. The one Starling states correctly is for Calypso.

wat can be done to the drive when it is in safe mode?

[pcimage]

u can fix firmware problems etc.

But u DO need proper tools (i.e. PC3000, Salvation etc)

[rameez]

also it is used for fixing hdd with bad head for eg clicking drives .

[acforensics]

Is safe mode also called PCB mode?

[pcimage]

yep, in WD it is (Salvation products) (or "kernel" mode in PC3000)

[acforensics]

So you can make ROM changes in safe mode, but you can't make FW changes since FW changes involve writing to the SA and heads are disabled in safe mode. Is this correct?

Sorry about turning the topic slightly.

Thanks,
