Just got one of these Toshiba 3.5" in for the first time. Any ideas on what parameters to use for head replacement?

Hi Loki

This is a 3.5" hard drive rather than the usual 2.5", so the normal parameters do not apply. ie. there is no HDD number etc.

As it is an Hitachi under the hood, based on what I'm seeing, you will need to follow Hitachi matching standards, not Toshiba.
