Common Issues with WD20EFRX Drives

  1. Head Failures – Over time, the read/write heads in these drives can degrade or fail, leading to clicking noises and inaccessible data.

  2. Firmware Corruption – WD Red drives can suffer from firmware issues that prevent them from initializing correctly.

  3. Bad Sectors – These drives often develop bad sectors, which can cause slow performance, read errors, or complete drive failure.

  4. PCB Damage – Power surges or overheating can damage the drive’s printed circuit board (PCB), preventing it from functioning.

  5. RAID Degradation – Since WD20EFRX drives are commonly used in RAID setups, multiple drive failures or rebuild errors can lead to data loss.

Western Digital WD20EFRX-68EUZN0 Data Recovery Caselog

03Apr25: Customer reported that hard drive making some buzzing sounds and it does not read any data.
14Apr25: Patient ROM is not original. Used donor PCB and donor ROM from drive with matching servo firmware version. Uploaded LDR and read SA tracks. Used module search to find DIR, then used that DIR to read all modules and check integrity. Rebuilt original ROM from SA data and programmed PCB. Drive comes ready but goes BSY when reading ID. Using kernel mode jumpers, rewrote ROM with SA access blocked (by shifting regions) and rebooted drive. Applied slow response solution and rebooted. All customer data was imaged at full speed.
