@kwf I just noticed that UpdateYoDell is *also* your work. Thank you so much for making that available, it's saving me incredible amounts of time right now.

@kwf seems to be from here. Http used to show instructions for use, was that removed?
@kwf ...of course I also just noticed that ftp.updateyodell.net is FUBAR, I just get the default Nginx page currently, and no FTP server at all.
So I lost power while doing an ATA SECURITY_ERASE on 4x 4TB HDDs. I can't remember what throwaway password I used, since I knew it would be erased along with the data.
There was once a program called A-FF Repair Station by hdd-tools.com, but they're long since gone and you need a login to launch the app.
It's not worth buying a forensic tool like Atola Insight or a DFL-USB, is there any other way to recover these drives, or are they just e-waste now?
(FWIW: all 4 are WD4002FYYZ-01B7CB0 model#.)
