Hello, has anyone used the software WDR-UDMA?

here is the manual: http://www.drivestar.biz/files/WDR-UDMA_Manual.pdf
and here you can download the demo version: http://forum.chinahdd.cn/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12#p13

when my bosses told me that they bought WDR, I just laughed silently and told them that if this software does what it say... it's The Holy Grial of Western Digital hard disk drives repair.

What do you think?

- excuse my english - this is my first post. i have worked with PC-3000 over the last 3 years, that's the reason why i think that.

Thanks in advance

This is the chinese TREX copy that someone found a while ago. I don't really see anything it claims to do that isn't possible in UDMA.

I thought that these things like write Firmware and Rom, clear SMART and PList, you can only do it with the help of hardware, like PC-3000, and any software without hardware would be useless. but it seems that i was wrong, anyway, I will test this software soon and figure out by myself.
Thanks for the reply.

I thought that without special hardware equipment (like PC-3000), write Firmware and ROM, clean SMART and PList and a lot of things were impossible, guess i was wrong, seems like UDMA is the key... anyway, thank you for your reply.

They say it attaches to the bottom of the drive? so it looks like its hardware & software
Prices very depending which version you get + they do STR300 UDMA for Seagate HDD

Yes, they say it operates directly on the bottom of hdd system... like i thought, is software and hardware... and this is the Packing List:
1. PC line 1pcs (PATA, SATA)
2. Dongle 1pcs
3. Software DVD 1pcs

when they say PC line, mean a PCI board like PC-3000? or a motherboard? isn't very clear... and there is no photo of it...

thanks for the reply

Ei tkach, how was your adventure with the WDR-UDMA? It would be interesting to know your opinion after you tried it.

Hello world.

Well, the first time i used WDR-UDMA, it surprised me, i didn't expect too much, but it really exceeded my expectations...
You can load and repair firmware, change number of heads, clear smart, G and P list... about the "super format" function takes a long, but if the drive has sectors, these are relocated.
Another function that works fine is change model and serial number.
I hope that this information will be enought, any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Best regards

@tkach thank you fr your feedback. So do you recommend this tools? Have you used another one for firmware repairing?

Anybody else has some feedback about the tools from chinahdd.cn?

Anybody had the oportunity of compare them with the SD tools?

First chinese modified TREX to work with LPT dongle and they named it WDR ver 2.0 .


The newer version of WDR is the windows version picture is provided by huangensen.

Then I suppose that it works on windows only to take advantage of the windows API for the presentation layer, I mean to provide the software with a graphical interface, windows, buttons, dialogs, mouse & keyboard control etc, but I suppose that it will "attack" to the hard disks directly to the controller instead of use the BIOS and windows API.

Do you know if I'm correct? Because if I don't believe no this piece of software.

Hey, actually i have the WDR-UDMA version 3.0 that works in windows with USB dongle, thats the one that we were talking about... the pack also came with WDR soft that works on MS-DOS and has the LPT dongle like you said, but i did'n use it yet




Well, i could not tell you, im not sure... but think that works directly because you can work in a drive that windows has no recognized
