Hitachi HTS723 donor compatibilty

[Nick_CT]

Good day all,

I have a patient with failed heads.
HTS723325L9A362
MLC: DA2459

I can find a donor as follows:
HTS723225L9SA61
MLC: DA2891

Would this be a suitable donor for HSA?

Hi,

Never done it, but I think there's a good chance that it's possible.

You should check head map, happen several times here even on drives which should be 1:1 to have head map 0,1,2 and the donor 1,2,3....
