The quickest way is to replace it with a compatible PCB and check if the encryption is active.
Are you sure it's a crack?

[smecca]

Pretty sure. Later i will desolder the die to inspect downside and pads conditions

Already tryied to use alternative compatible pcb (usb 800067) and hdd is ok, spins, ready state, sector edit:encrypted. If it is encrypted via usb i thing noway using full conversion procedure

it was not even mentioned which version it was (no model number, anything). If it is an old model, pcb swap is possible. Let's hear some more info about the drive, pls.
