Hello Friends!
As you may know, when heads cannot pass the test during the initialization process, Western Digital Marvell drive does not allow an access to the service and user areas. If one of the system heads is in good condition, you may edit the head map in RAM, get SA access and resolve the Slow Responding issue. If both system heads cannot write in the service area, they should be replaced.
But some new Western Digital drives can get the service area access even if system heads cannot write because they are weak, or have been taken from a donor and not fully compatible. Such heads can even read the user area but are usually extremely slow.
In this short article, we will review the method to bypass this issue and to read the data as fast as possible with the current heads of the device.
We continue our articles on how to select the right equipment to better organize your data recovery facility.

Please keep in mind that this procedure works for the drives protected by the user password and is inapplicable for master password protected drives.
Hello Friends! SSHD drives usually work faster and more efficient than the common HDD drives due to a special NAND part, where the recent data cached, that’s why people choose them in order to improve the PC perfomance. But what to do if such drive stops responding, and we can’t reach the User Area access?
From example in this short article we will know how to fix the NAND problem and reach the data in Hybrid Toshiba drives.
Dear Friends,
In this article we would like to describe the procedure of password removing for old Seagate drive. We have tested this method for Night Hawk Plus family of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 series. However, this approach works for other families of Classical Seagate Architecture as well.

Hello, Friends! Today we are proud to present you the long-awaited solution to the very disturbing issue of recovering data from locked Seagate F3 Rosewood HDDs. The latest PC-3000 v.6.3.12 update brings you the ability to repair damaged Rosewood hard drives and extract data from them. In this article, we will show you how to access the Service and User Areas of your locked patient device in a few clicks.
Attention! Special Restrictions! Due to the fact that the FW has particular features, we strongly recommend that you do not apply Recount translator commands (both, ATA or terminal), Clear G-list, Reset S.M.A.R.T and spare heads in ROM commands. This will clear Media Cache and you might lose user data forever.
