I have a case where 2 drives came from a My Book Live (the older silver one) which were in mirror raid password protected. The failing drive was cloned 99.9%, the other drive was accidentally reused before it could be recovered.
I used an idential drive for the clone, switched Mods 02, 25 and 38, but the controller will not allow any access to the drive saying the raid structures are damaged. The only way I can see to unlock the drive is through WD Security, which won't allow you to enter a password unless the drive is properly configured and not damaged, and WD Utilities says the Raid volume has errors and cannot access the data, and the only option is to reconfigure it. So the drive appears as 0lba and gives no direct access to it.
I could try reconfiguring it which would probably change those Mods and write a new empty file system, but then rewrite 25 and 38 and then try again, hopefully it might prompt for the password, decrypt it properly and then I could scan the rest of the drive that wasn't overwritten by the reconfiguring.
You guys missed a lot. IF you would read carefully all UFS pro updates you would know, that bridge encryption already supported more than year, including user password support. Even for clones, no need to load SA modules to donor's sa, you can simply attach encryption key sector to the end of hdd , to allow UFS detects it automatically.
