quite impossible to clone, it reade 1 or few sectors than it hung and i have to power cycle.
Please check pictures and check also ampere.

Hello!
I recommend you to double-check resistors and capacitors near the drive interface. Probably drive is losing the readiness because of the electrical problem in current chain.
Also, try to freeze or heat the NAND chips. It could help to stabilize the reading process.
Finally, make your own scenario in DE in case of reading lose (re-power the drive when it's stop reading).
