Hello,nothing new when you look here:

http://www.salvationdata.com/news/20110719.htm

But what all people want to know,if it work with new HDD FUTJISTU like that MHZ2160BH G1.

Mine is locked with ATA PASSWORD LEVEL HIGH and i want to unlock it,http://www.hddunlock.com/ can't unlock it.
I looked PC3000 site and he can't unlock it,and you with HDDDOCTOR (Salvation Data) you can?

Thanks.
Best regards.

The answer is NO with the above mentioned tools.

it was 320 GB hard disk of toshiba, i am not from salvation data, bad luck i could not note the model number, but yes i managed to unlock by salvation data tools

There are many families where you can have a 320 GB drive, and we were talking about FUJITSU not TOSHIBA.

Again, I asked a plain and simple question :

"Did you test it on MHV PL and RECENT Toshiba ?"

If it was an old drive , "maybe" SD tool (and other too) DO work. On more RECENT and also other specific families, THEY DON'T.

FYI
It's not about "recent" it's about FW revision on Toshiba drives
Also about MHV drives - some of them do work the old way, its about specific config of the drive

Also I understand what BlackST is trying to say and I agree that it is very unlikely that the tool from above would be able to remove ATA password on the drives he has in mind

[BlackST]

Actually all the ATA locked MHV I had in my hands were NOT "simply" un-lockable , let alone with SD tools, that's it. Didn't notice the configuration or revision, to be honest. Same for Toshiba.

You just need to buy a fresh one, that nobody used before, which obviously has no interest for a DR person, because we usually deal with used hard drives

But anyway it is possible to remove password on all Fujitsu drives, just not with commercial tools.
