Hi guys,
I managed to buy an WD MY book essential USB 3.0 HDD case(WDBACW0030HBK-01) with the PCB from ebay ( PCB 4060-705089-001 Rev.P1) . As i have few internal drive lying around, i thought i could connect the drives to the PCB and access it over USB 3.0 - as an external drive.
I also have an WD My Book USB 2.0 500 GB Case lying around from my previous adventures ( wd5000c032-002)
Now. when i connect any drive with the USB 3.0 pcb, it takes some time for the drive to be recogizned, but it will not show any existing partions or data on the drive.
Whereas the same drive on WD My Book USB 2.0 (wd5000c032-002) shows up perfectly with all the exisiting partions intact and data intact too.
So what is happening here, What wrong am i doing here ?
You got scammed dude. Those controllers are encrypted and only work with the original drive that came with it.
