Hello,

my customer did a format of this hard drive,

The t2 analysis gives me:

Reading method.......................... : VSC command (T2 Data read)
Translator data reading................. : Ok
Translator data decode.................. : Ok
BAD node count.......................... : 0
Root node............................... : Correct
Node state set.......................... : Ok
Intersection check...................... : Completed
Lost LBA area........................... : NONE
Wrong entry nodes....................... : NONE
Zero areas check........................ : Completed
Zero LBA area count..................... : 8 (99,991%)
T2 analysis............................. : Completed

So what I see is the newly created ntfs partition, the rest is zeroed out, hidden by the translator.

I'm also able to read the SED key, but this doesn't help me, because I think it's only the current key.

If I disable sed, I can't decrypt any data, also not with the read key.

Is there any way to restore data on this sed drive?

Sure,
but "Restoring the second level translator" option doesn't exist on my device,
that's why I fear this drive is not supported.

Did you prepare hdd for PBA access and create new task in PBA mode?
