Hi,

I am needing an assistance on finding a donor drive for a head replacement for the HDD below:

Brand: Samsung Spinpoint
Model: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB/JP3
Date: 01/2014
P/N: E7023-G941-A56C2
Heads: 4
Preamplifier revision: *PAUNI_T5563 Pwg=0000*PA VID=000C PN=0049 Rev=0003- PA_UNI Found

QUESTION 1
However I cannot find a drive that has an exact similar donor to these. Is there any alternative to this?

QUESTION 2
What is JP3 stands for? Is it necessary to match this? Some HDD I've come across has different extension like AV & EX2.

QUESTION 3
I also have read somewhere that we can use ST1000LM014 USB HDD as a donor drive for my HDD. Can anyone confirms this?

QUESTION 4
Can I use Seagate HDD as a donor drive for my Samsung HDD?

Hello,
-matching G941 should give you a compatible donor.
-JP3 is irrelevant
-ST1000LM014 is a Seagate SSHD, completely different, perfectly incompatible with yours. However, there is ST1000LM025 which might work.
-You can use Seagate hdd as long as it is the Samsung branch. Not the native seagate ones.

Is it important to have a match Preamplifier revision and do we need to find the exact or closest manufacturing date? And I have also seen somewhere that we need to match the fifth, sixth and seven alphanumerics of S/N. In my case, its J9C.
