Hello,
i've found a bug relative to Seagate Momentus 5400.3 (Venus family).
Utility is not able to read ATA overlays and reads ID incorrectly.

P.S.
This drive is perfect, i can read all user data on surface. I also tried to read firmware modules of another good Venus drive that i have, it also behavies with exact same issue when reading ATA and ID.
