HDD GURU FORUMS

Guys
I am using pc3000 UDMA V7.0.3
I have got a case of Rosewood 2TB which is showing 0mb .I am trying to unlock disk first. I am having older USB 2.0 terminal adapter. Often I get error that software can't control speed but I can read terminal so I think terminal adpater should not be an issue.
Despite all efforts I am unable to read rom. What is preventing rom reading? Can someone pls. guide.
Thank you.

I think terminal adpater should not be an issue

It is all about it

boot terminal is locked, probably...
if so, you will need to use ext programmer

Thank you so much pepe
Is there anything I can do it besides replacing ?

pepe, have a close look @the athached image 1.png 1st red marked line
he is using the old adapter

Pointing out exact issue. I was of opinion with old terminal adpater I will not be able to adjust signal levels but for basic functions it will work.
But it seems I will have to replace it anyhow.
One last question whether this adapter which is readily available will be fine or I should go for ace one ?

Terminal 2 works at 3.3v

Terminal 3 can support 1.8/2.5/3.3V.

Rosewood uses 1.8v terminal I believe.

terminal2 works just as fine as 3 for me... Speed is limited but works.

Thanks a lot pepe
Yes I remember a post from forum that even USB 2.0 adapter works fine, thats why I did't opt to buy usb 3.0 adapter.

What's the manufacturing date on the label?

I think it's of these 'new' Janus drives that older PC3k didn't support.
If so, then this question

is the key, and you will need latest pc3k to work with them.

Hi Pepe,

Thanks for the clarity there.

You know, I never tried it. I got 2 x T3 and 1 x T2 which I never use. I was told back in 2017 or so that the T3 was needed for Rosewood, but I guess it was just if you want to transfer at 6000000 .

Thanks

Louis

Its of 2013

doh, i meant the rosewood of course

Hi ,
Janus Rosewoods Work Best With New Adapter ,Its Time You Get One And Then You Can Use both ,old one for old drives and new one for ultra modern once

I never tried it to advice, but best advice is buy from Acelab might be expensive little bit but stable/tested by them
@the end of the day Terminal cable if supports as mentioned 1.8/2.5/3.3V is just a cable

Thank You so much einstein9
I have kept order pending but now will go ahead with acelab alongwith some other pending material.
Since it is going to used on day to day basis its definately good idea to buy tested one other than cheap chinese

@ terminator2 all the best
