Hi,

I have a fairly new WD drive which seems to have a locked firmware. PCB version is 004-0836131.

Is there a way to unlock this firmware? MRT does not support this version.

Thank you.

This drive is not WD ROYL but HGST CCB architecture.

The PCB is 0B36131. WD PCBs begin with "2060-". HGST PCBs begin with "0A" or "0B".

WD's warranty checker ...

https://support-en.wd.com/app/warrantystatusweb

... identifies the drive as ...

    WD4005FZBX-00K5WB0
    WDVL6
    7200
    256M
    SATA3
    6GB/S
    4.0 TB
    6HD
    STD
    HGST

I think the family could be Vela (Vela-6 ?).

US7SAN6T0 is an Ultrastar DC HC310.

Another clue is in the leading characters of the WWN (which you have obscured).
