Probably it is SED with blocked vendor commands

Figured out how to connect terminal, you need samsung adapter for this drive:

I can read sectors for the minor amount i am able to get.

If it is SED blocking terminal commands, is there anything i can do to get around it?

Thank you for your time.

It is SED, and over USB there is nothing you can do. You would need to convert it to a SATA interface then follow the guide posted at this forum by Maxim:
