I have a WD40EZRX-00SPEB0 drive which is presenting with puzzling symptoms. It IDs correctly and all UA sectors give ABR error. Attempting to start utility results in PC3K thinking that the drive is ATA locked and SED locked.

After disabling SA access in ROM, I was able to check modules (all important ones good on both copies) and apply slow response fix. Still no UA access.

I'm out of ideas as to why this drive is malfunctioning. Any ideas?

Figured it out, turns on under "Edit HDD ID" I had to disable both "drive is locked" and 'self-encrypting drive'. Problem solved :D
