I have two working drives that were working in a USB cradle. One is a Seagate EXOS X24 - ST24000NM002H - 24 TB (FW SE05) (the other is described in a separate thread).

In Windows, the drives appear as unallocated space. I can't initialize the drive or create partitions.
Using Viktoria, I can't read the S.M.A.R.T. itself; I only see S.M.A.R.T. logs.




The data in this case is irrelevant (I only stored binary copies there, which I made a new copy of).

Answer hidden inside your USB cradle

I tried another USB adapter, and I also connected it directly via SATA. Unfortunately, I’m still experiencing the same issue.

Can you read the data? If you can't access the SMART attributes via SATA, that would suggest a firmware problem.

The data is not accessible. I have MRT — is there a chance to recover the drive after unlocking the ROM?
