I need to find out the type of WD with PCB code 7016115-003. It's a 2,5" HD with a mini USB integrated at the PCB. Please help me if you know. Thank you.

Post a clear picture of your PCB.

What do you mean 'the type' ?

I think the drive model would be WDxxxxBMVV-xxA1PS0. But why you need to know the drive model anyway ?

I need a exactly donor (Western Digital 2´5 HD) to change the platters. My PCB it´s burned but
not carbonized completely, but the ePROM doesn´t survive. I can read yet a part of the code.
PCB CODE: 2060-701615-003
I don´t know the p/n, firmware or the DCM codes. However, I suspect it may belong an HD of
the Scorpio Blue or Scorpio Black series like:
wD3200BJKT
WD2500BJKT
WD1600BJKT
WD3200BEKT
WD2500BEKT
WD1600BEKT
It has two pairs of heads and two platters and micro-USB connector located at the PCB. It hasn´t SATA neither
IDE connectors.
Please, answer the following questions as soon as posible:
Anybody has a similar HD with micro USB located at the PCB without IDE or SATA connections?
Anybody knows which would micro-USB connector be included at the PCB?
Anybody has seen a notebook with micro-USB connections exclusively to connect the HD´s to the mother board
directly?
Thanks!

Seen the damage, this drive will be unrecoverable.

The platters are fine, but I don't know where these are guard. I agree it's a challenge.

Magnetic data will be erased by temperature.
Read about curie-temperature.
No solution possible

@dobre,
To me drive is partially to full recoverable but there's a lot of work to do. And it would be a really expensive case.
