What kind of write protect do you mean? I have never heard from a software write protect in common hard disks. I've seen quite a lot IDE Compact Flash "disks" that have hardware switches for this but not PATA or SATA hdds

There has to be some sort of hard drive state that sets the drive into read-only mode. When I try to mount the drive rw, the error message is that the drive is
read only.
Since I try to mount it as root, and /dev/sdd1 has mode 600, permission is not
the issue. So, it has to be a disk internal hardware state.
