If the board is wrong, you are not going to get any data, RAW or with a file structure. If WD encryption is involved, the can of worms gets bigger.

If there is no sign of a file system and the files are just weird RAW files that unrecognizable, it is likely due to background encryption.

Such cases are usually our minor rate of $450 CAD (about $350 USD).

After further exploration of the WD community, the Jose2020 is clearly another devious spammer for Stellar. They don't give a rip about you or your data and the only goal is to get a link back to their website and to sucker unsuspecting victims into buying a software license.
