Jul 26, I was able to successfully enable TLER and disable head parking on all of the drives. Capable But Command Failed" or "Disk boot failure. Can this firmware be used on these drives to enable the TLER? Immediately after the motor stops spinning they stick to the ideally smooth surface and it becomes impossible to free them without proper tools and experience. Data recovery in such case involves removing platters from the hard drive in clean room environment and putting them into matching donor. All Western Digital hard drives are also well-known for their firmware problems.

I have them connected directly to mobo's firmwaee and as IDE, i successfully did wdtler and wdidle3, when i tried to do this, i was told the drive is not upgradable, or something like that. That's usually the only way to retrieve as much files as possible from such sectors.

Can this firmware be used on these drives to enable the TLER? If you hear your Western Digital hard drive making some other unusual noises visit our Hard Drive Sounds page for more typical sounds these drives make. GrantGochnauerJul 26, I have not touched the firmware of any of these, they're all as they were 'out of the box'. Wd20eadd-00r6b0 won't save me wc20eads-00r6b0 next time one of the drives fail though.
You can steal information but you can't steal knowledge and experience!
I honestly don't think that you would run into any issues with the different firmware versions, just like between the May 29, After some period of time magnetic media the platters are covered with starts to degrade and magnetic domains can't turn in the desired direction by writing element of the head. All the information below is based solely on our experience firmwae we do not make any claims regarding reliability of the specific model.
This is how bad sectors appear. Everything worked out exactly as described in this thread. I mean I got the message that the drive cannot be upgraded because firmware in not compatible!
Jul 31, I had to rma one of my drives and got one of those in return. May 17, Don't try to open the drive by yourself - you could damage the platters making your data unrecoverable. Jul 29, I can't speak to the data integrity of whatever you may have on the discs.
Should this occur the computer would reboot or shut down completely, you would normally notice acrid smell of smoke coming from your PC and when powered on the drive would not spin up at all and appear to be completely dead. Will it change the characteristics of the drive substantially enough to produce instability with the other stock WD20EADS drives?
All this leads to further damage to the surface, heads and causes more data loss. I was able to successfully enable TLER and disable head parking on all of the drives.
Western Digital TB Green WDEADSS2B0 Firmware?
There is one more problem that is typical for all Western Digital drives: One of them is heads sticktion to the platter surface. What model was it? We see mostly failed drives in our Lab and therefore we don't have complete statistics.
FSSJun 15, Stay away from those companies. In our lab we use special imaging hardware tools that are capable of reading raw sector data ignoring low level checksum check. Aug 4, Running them in RAID1 fir,ware my media box. Firmware of the drive is not located on the logic board as most people think.
