update. i spend a lot of time, getting this drive back to life.
first of all:
- W8.1 is not suitable for Crucial's own application, cant even recognize any kind of drive.
- at W7 the GUI freezes, i was only able to commucate with the drive under CLI, but after a few commands, its gone
- under Arch the Micron Tool 3.15 was able to start the gui reads the datas, etc and said the sanitize was complete, however the drive is in locked state, the cli program was really informatic(said i must secure erase the drive), but sadly also cant sanitize the drive, however it seem complete.
- still under linux i was found a newer version of Micron's tool(3.24), it was perfect, in the meaning of correct stdouts. but also cant reset the drive, i even tried PSID and Santize fuctions. Secure erase cant be done, i dont know the PW.

The PSID base erase can be used only if the drive is crypted? because seems like its not. just having ATA PW.
i've got one more idea, but i think its impossibe. brute forcing the Lock password.
have you ever tried it?
