Anyone heard of VIVETRONIC HARD DRVES? *pic

Picture attached.

It has a Seagate 100781943 PCB on it, but I get no terminal output.
After clicking, Seagate utility identifies itself as: OOS500G128M.
Clicks, then spins down.
With the rosewood utility, I can read ROM but that's about it.

Have seen a few here of these TP53126200 500 GB. Actually 1TB Rosewood probably failed Seagate QC (did not know they had any)
Sold to vivetronic with lower capacity. Did not have any trouble unlocking it with Rosewood utility here.

Thanks!
Should I be looking for a 500GB donor or a 1TB donor?

[digitalsupport]

Most likely its a 1TB, but who knows if they would sell a failed 2 TB as 500 GB
You better check heads.

Well,
Open it up and check ,It can even be a 2 platter 4 head 2tb converted to 500gb

Amarbir,
I opened it up. 1 Platter, both sides of it look good. Heads are dirty on both sides.
Removing the heads is extremely difficult on this model and it looks intentionally build that way.

I think this thing is a Seagate FireCuda 500GB (ST500LX025) SSHD

If its a FireCuda you can id that on pcb very fast

How?

On SSHD there is a NAND on pcb, typical a 8 GB TC58TEG6

It doesn’t seem to have a nand chip on it. It’s the only one that I could find that was 500 gig that had the same chassis. I tried a couple 1 TB that looked to be the same, but they did not work.

Your pcb looks like a 100781943 88i1160 from a ST1000LM035 or ST2000LM007
I have also registered 100809471 with 88i1164 on the same 2 drives ST1000LM035 or ST2000LM007

Just go and check ROM info to confirm family ID

[osity]

Good idea

It looks like hybrid Rosewood or maybe Makara family.
