Hitachi 7K320-320 Family

[terminator2]

Unfortunately Hitachi HDD 7K320-320 ( HTS723232L9A360) is not getting detected with right family in my pc3000udma.
Which family I should select?

select from custom families

commands to read/write SA, NVRams, etc are the SAME

yeah, but addresses may be different

Once the Super On VSC is issued (for your drive starts with 03,03 6E,37 5F,03 ....) the commands to read/write SA, NVRams, etc are the SAME as the ones used for all the other ARM based HGST drives so it shouldn't matter that much ... as long you have the correct super on and you have the correct set of commands to read the firmware and you know how to parse modules like USAG to get to the other modules you should be fine ...

Dear Spildit & pepe Good Morning.
Thank you so much for all the help.
I have been successful to run utility with correct family now and have backed up nvram & other modules as well.
All important modules are healthy.Unfortunately my knowledge is so basic that I will not be able to perform any of the tasks (parse modules etc)
Though 320 GB disk has 4 heads , out of which head 0 is having large bad sectors ( may be it is weak)
I have imaged 70 GB partition using other heads. I will have to skip all data covered Head 0.

yes, h0 looks weak, needs swapping...

Certainly looks that way.

That's why you parse USAG like this ?

On that CLA3 I got the modules by parsing USAG to get the correct address to use on the VSC directly.

Thanks a lot , I always refer HDDORACLE , in fact I have downloaded it for ready ref.
