Ordered a SATA version of the controller for the drive which decrypts on the fly and managed to recover all the data. :)
Myiannakou, could you confirm please what was it you ordered exactly, a new MCU or was it a new unlock board?

I am assuming your drive was a WD Charger with SED, i.e. didn't need the original MCU as if it was SED2 you wouldn't have been able to get data that way.

I am facing a case which sounds much like yours but with SED2 that needs the original MCU (CPU) for decryption keys.
