Post subject: | WD20NMVW Donor crisis? |
While waiting for a specific donor drive for a urgent job we've done some donor experimenting and found the following drives fully compatible on headswap even though the models are far apart especially in terms of manufacture date. Hoping this will help someone: WD20NMVW-11EDZS6 DCM: HBKTJHKB DATE: 19 April 2016 Thailand WD blue label and WD20NMVW-11AV3S2 DCM: EBMTJHKB DATE: 25 May 2014 Thailand WD white/yellow label Both drives USB 3.0, for this particular case the MJ we're close enough and did not need averaging. |

Shrek/LT's and FireBird/Lite's are friendly drives. |

The point of that post is that these particular ones made in Thailand have consistent enough manufacturing differences on all heads. |
