WD My Passport 5 TBUSB Drive WD5000BMVW-11AMCS2 Slow Response Data Recovery

Understanding the Slow Response Firmware Bug

The slow response firmware bug is a phenomenon that can affect hard drives, leading to issues such as extended response times, slow data transfer rates, and, in severe cases, rendering the drive undetectable by the system. In the case of the Western Digital WD5000BMVW-11AMCS2, this bug can be particularly problematic, causing users to fear the loss of critical data.

Common Signs of Slow Response Firmware Bug

1. Undetected Drive: The drive may go completely undetected by the system, making it inaccessible through traditional means.

2. Slow Response Times: Users may experience unusually slow response times when attempting to access or transfer data on the affected drive.

3. Unresponsive Drive: The drive might become unresponsive, leading to system freezes and potential data loss.

Recovery Log

The patient drive is not detected and causes the host system to lag. Patient PCB (USB interface) is 2060-771761-001. This is compatible with the SATA PCB model 2060-771962-000. Our first step will be converting the drive to SATA interface.

SATA converted drive

The drive now comes ready and IDs correctly, but gets stuck in BSY state after attempting to start normal mode utility. This is a common symptom of the slow response bug, we can proceed with the solution outlined in this case article.

After applying the slow response solution and configuring the data decryption we have full access to user data.
