Hello, my hdd WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 Saddle_Back Gen 6 (Royl) has module 006F corrupted (version AOZ30000).
Firmware is 25.12E
Someone may upload 006F module in RPM format or all firmware please?

Thank you.

What

New drives with bad 6F ?

Do you mean that this module is not important?

So why my drive is very very slow and about impossible to clone?
MHDD sector scan interrupts every few seconds, but no bad sector are found, if i push the right arrow for sector jump it continues to scan but after few seconds stops again, and so on...

If is fw issue i may need to flash it, right?
If so, it's possible to upload it so i can try to flash it?

If is a head issue, may help to depop the damaged one?

I would go for bad head.
One head might be damaged.

You can try the Solve "slow response" option in the WD utility

But Einstein is correct...

It could be Bad heads, a Faulty board,

Do a head test

But since all the modules are clean i would suspect it is the slow issue. second is a weak head

Also check defect lists, like g and p list as those have influence on translator.

no...

in PC-3000 there is a head test, but you already posted a test that shows as good. ( thow it may be wrong)

In the PC-3000, under the WD Utlility Under one of the menu's there is a Solve"SLow responding" SOlution. try that.

that is if you have a pretty recent update of the pc-3000
