Some of these boards (which appear identical in every other respect) use an Asmedia ASM1051W bridge whereas others use a JMicron JMS538S. At least one PC3K user was having problems decoding an Asmedia HDD with a key that PC3K recognised as a JMicron. I don't know if this means that there may be potential compatibility issues if the OP ends up with a JMicron bridge. |

This is true, but I doubt the rev. number OP is trying to match would make any difference. |

Yeah you can do that, but better ask what kind of encryption chip is on the actual bridge they're selling, as fzabkar suggested. |

The "encryption" chip is the largest chip on the board, either Asmedia ASM1051W or JMicron JMS538S. It could be that two these chips are functionally compatible (they appear to be pin compatible), but it's best to be certain. |

Just thought I'd post an interesting finding ... In a recent thread at Tom's Hardware, a user tried the following:
4061-705094-301 Rev AC is the donor. His patient was a 3TB My Book Essentials. The donor turned out to be from a 4TB "WD Elements 107C USB Device". When the encrypted patient drive was installed behind the donor bridge, the result was that it identified itself with the patient HDD's serial number, but the bridge reported the capacity as 4TB. Also the data were not decrypted. |

I may just buy one and see what happens because teh DR guys from Dubai are charging over 1k USD. Quite frankly I'd rather buy all the equipment and start a DR center myself here. |

Am assuming your drive is either 2 or 3 TB, and more likely HEADS based on your story from dubai. good luck |

One of my friends has the same model as I do, he didn't drop it or anything and suffering from the same symptoms. He says restarting it multiple times and playing with the USB cable helps windows discover it. I'm praying it's the PCB tbh. |

Ah ha. You never did say what your problem was. But now you say it has the same symptoms as a friends device. You could at least get the usb port connections on your pcb checked. Its not difficult and might save a lot of expense. It is only a matter of checking continuity between the usb port contacts and any suitable sm component/location. Only takes a couple of minutes to do. Also did you see the other thread? The suggestion there was to try a usb 2 cable. And it worked! |

It's a USB 3 port. |
