Hi Jermy ,
I Took a Picture For Another Drive " Hitachi HDS721010DLE630 " .The Serial No Here is " MSE5235V0MRJRL " .See This Screenshot



The Last digits Are Reversed In NVRAM LR Though Serial No Is RL ,Then JR And RJ,Then M0 And 0M ,And So On .So Is This Method Called Byte swap ? Or What .What i did Is That i started PC3K With Hitachi HDS721010DLE63 Drive Connected And Opened The NVRAM Of This Then i Loaded The NVRAM Image of The Other Drive Whose Serial No i Was Not Able To Find And I Got The Result As You Gave Me Spot On ,Thanks For Helping Brother .The ROM is Not Original and Hence Is There a Point Handling This Case ? . Spildit Was Once Talking Along With Drdoc For Directly Accessing Sectors Via ABA/PBA Etc ,In This Drive Due To Wrong ROM The Drive Spins Down It would Be a Had Issue Also
