WD4005FZBX-00K5WB0 - Firmware unlock

[IntratecDR]

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 ...

... 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).
