Any chance here? #21

I came across wdpassport-utils and I was looking for some intel.

I came across a device today that doesn't mount. The heads on this device are working perfectly. PCB voltage is fine and everything working as it should.

As far as I know this devices have an MCU encrypted and module responsible for data encryption (Module190). Since this PCB is locked I cannot access Service Area or read the rom. When I try to clone the drive the image is full of 00's (because the hdd buffer is not capable of reaching the original ROM).

I was wondering if you know any other command or really can point me towards the right direction so I can do some RE on this device. This is sad because I'm used to work with data recovery and firmware repair tools, but none have added support for this drive.

Thank you very much for your time
