i everyone. I have a WD hard drive and the USB port is broken. I converted the drive to SATA, but I can't get past the "SD drive locked" issue. Is there anyone who can help?

You need to read the ROM via external programmer.

Unlock the rom via pc3000.

Write the unlocked rom back to the original PCB.

Do you have the ability to read and rewrite rom to the pcb?

I usually perform the readings via the PC3000.

I had moved the ROM to a donor drive a few times.

If I remove the SATA port from another motherboard that has a terminal block and solder it to my motherboard, and then solder the terminal block from the motherboard itself, would it work somehow?

If you are serious about data recovery, buy a ROM reader. They are $50.

The user data is encrypted by a key in the CPU of the original board.
The service area is not encrypted. 
The rom is locked.
You can unlock the rom to work  with the service area.
You can write the unlocked rom to a donor SATA board to work with the service area. 
You can read user data with donor but it's encrypted.
You can solder a SATA connector to the original USB board and work with the service area and decrypt user data.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. My post was intended to be helpful. Perhaps, I'm paranoid, but I would think that someone could use that tracking metadata to profile you.

If you get a ROM reader you do not need to.

Use a pogo pin adaptor or chip clip. Just be sure to dump the ROM at least twice and compare the two dumps.
