Rebuilding translator on SMR Seagates is best when you want to kill data. Now either rollback sa (if any) or send the drive to someone skilled. Recovering translation on these is pretty complicated.

The disk at issue is 1TB SATA 7mm. I suggest a USB enclosure and try recovering files.

a very important problem with hddguru forum is the lack of :facepalm: smilie. It would come very handy in some cases. This one is one of them.
