Whats strange is the drive takes the HDDSS.BIN and Modifies the Model (thinks its a hitachi) So it definitely isnt locked (at least to change the Brand) but the serial# is left unchanged. And as ive said, when i try to revert back to the UNDO.BIN it give me a a wrong size error. Only seems to be an issue with these WD Black LPLX models. Same issue with a 2015 and a 2017. I am just afraid to modify the HDDSS.BIN in those address locations in fear that it might brick them.
Just to be clear, these WD drives are not totally bricked. Just stuck being a Hitachi with original WD Serial#
