wd 160g head matching

[redseaksa]

Hi

I have hdd WD1600AABS-00L8A0 DCM GRNHTJCH (bad hdd)
Donor hdd WD1600AABS-22L7A0 DCM GRNHTJCG

My question is : Is the donor head can match the bad hdd to replace it.

Note :Firmware is different

Thank you

Should be fine I think. However it does not mean that the drive would work after the transplant.

Thank u Pepe
If the drive not work after transplant what you think the resoans ?

I think what he is trying to say is that it might not be the heads that is the problem, or not just the heads. So be prepared to tackle other issues.

hi Pepe,

What led you to conclude that the heads were bad?

Pepe is correct (as usual).

The heads are compatible, but there's a very good chance the drive won't work with them without some "jiggery pokery".

Agree with Mr.Pepe, Mr.Jono and Mr.Sean

It's ONE head drive, then I think the transplant process should be easy enough. Sure until the head is the ONLY problem.

I did not consider it might be a one head drive... Then the chances are better of course.

its a 1 headed drive but prepare for a surprise. The head on a patiend is head 0? Donor can come with head 1 only. To save time consider ordering fullsized 320.
