Hi! :)
I had a problem with "8 MB BUG" in the Intel SSD320 drive (SSDSA2CW080G3).
Acting according to the guide, I recorded MHDD on the pendrive in version 4.6.
By entering the first "PWD" command, I blocked the drive with the "PASSWORD" password.
But when using the next "FASTERASE" command and using exactly the same password, the program displayed the message "FAIL".
My mistake is probably the fact that I used the IDE> SATA adapter for this.

As a result, my drive shows the full capacity of "80 GB"
but it is blocked.
Interestingly, the program can not initiate the drive, for example in windows or linux, but I can perform disk wiping (WIPE).
when :
hdparm --user-master u --security-erase "PASSWORD" /dev/sda
i/o read write error, NULL password dont work.
I dont care about data.

I am asking for your help and please tell me if it's worth anything to do with it :c.

Edit. In the integrated circuit is the normal winbond erpom. I am able to desolder it and reprogram it. Can be a password there?

Greetings and happy holidays

MHDD show that there is ATA Password. Intel SSD Toolbox show ATA Password too
 
You said you don't care about the data. So for such a small storage device I wouldn't spend a ton of time trying to fix this. I would just get a new bigger one and move on. Someday when you aren't focused on it the answer may come.
