This is a self-encrypting Toshiba drive, have a look at this press release http://www.toshiba.co.jp/about/press/2011_04/pr1301.htm

I had few of these before, no recovery. Now I have one with exactly the same symptoms as you describe, can't do a thing.

If anybody has found a solution for these I would like to know.
