Bill sorry for butting in gain but I did just a while ago have this same sort of problem with a La Cie 1TB.
I took this thing apart and inside was what looked like a small circuit board fixed to the bottom of the case with chips on it ??controller and just an ordinary SATA drive. Now I still have that drive somewhere around and I might just throw it on one of my machines and see what happens (with one of those gadgets) if I come up with anything I'll get back.
The drive by the way I just threw in a new HDD and away it went.
Mate I am no expert but will try a bit of "cracking"
