APPLE HDD HTS545050A7E362 / An error prevented the sector from reading

This one is quite strange on PC3000 and DDI

Drive ID's and all resources backed up in PC 3000. Started imaging but every time after exactly 8.2GB reading from sector 0 I get an error" error prevented the sector from reading " sector edit the same if I go over 8.2GB and pick a random one it wont read

The first 8.2GB data both heads read @ 100% speed no errors but cuts out after with error:

Error executing command: Reading SA [0x11138D6, 0x40]
Device error detected "UNC"
Error executing command: Reading SA [0x11138D6, 0x1]
Device error detected "UNC"

HDD translator in RAM option used as well with files from backup resources same issue always stops reading at 8.2GB

Test : HDD Translator initialization in RAM
Uploading cached modules...
Loading PSHT...
Loading RDMT...
Completed
UtlAct: HDD Translator initialization in RAM

Following things I tried:

Replace heads = same issue
replace PCB same issue
DDI same fails after 8.2GB

Surface looks good with no scratches. Any input welcome

i would think PSHT is not native or corrupted. As i understood you can read up to 8.2GB no matter if translator is loaded or not, right?
