A couple of years ago, I bricked a 10TB WD easystore by issuing "hdparm --security-set-pass" on the USB drive, un-bricked it by plugging the HDD to another USB adapter then "hdparm --security-disable". Today, I bricked a 4TB WD easystore (2.5 inch), out of luck this time because inside the enclosure it's an USB on-board WD Blue drive.

Both are using ASMedia ASM1151W.

Does anyone have ideas how to recover from this? Or it's not worth the time trying to fix?
