 Make: Western Digital USB Hard Drive

Model: My Passport

Capacity: 2TB

Interface: 2.5 USB 3.0

Failure:  read problems, bad blocks

Symptoms: The data is not accessible.

The Western Digital My Passport USB drive had issues with reading data.

The firmware of PC3000 was adjusted, and a head map was created. This was necessary because one of the heads was weak, and the drive also had bad sectors.

We successfully recovered all user data by cloning it, adjusting the file system and rebuilding the data structures which resulted in a successful data recovery.

Toshiba USB Hard Drive

Compitable SATA PCB

The Toshiba USB drive experienced read issues and slow access speeds, making the USB interface suboptimal for data recovery. We converted it to a compatible SATA PCB board with a similar controller to the one on the USB PCB board and transferred the ROM information to the SATA PCB.

In PC3000, the service area (firmware) was adjusted, and a head map was created due to one of the heads being weak; the drive also had bad sectors.

We cloned all user data, starting with the good heads and then with the weak head, resulting in successful data recovery.

Should you encounter data accessibility issues with your Toshiba or any other USB hard drive, please feel free to reach out to us for assistance.
