Likely it's a weak head. When switching to the bad head you have the bads. At your option depop head and/or selfscan it - maybe need to edit the script - the drive will turn 120 or so but will work, instead of a full 160 not utilizable.

need data!
I dont know the week head,but it could be!
When scaning in victoria it looks like
OOOOOOWWWWWWOOOOOOWWWWWOOOOOOWWWW to the end of drive
O is for ok
W is for erasing256 block

Had similar problem on diamond max9 but it did go for first few gb!after that ok

If everything ok at pcb and sa, honestly I think only a headswap can work. Or try a different imaging method.
