Hitachi MLC codes

March 14th, 2012, 13:23

I have a HDT721010SLA360 that was in a Lacie enclosure that was knocked over by customer. Did a head swap and imaged 70% with an exact donor with matching MLC. There are no other drives with the same MLC available right now. There are several available with the same model number, but different MLC. Is it possible for a donor drive with a different MLC to work as a HSA donor?

Patient MLC is BA3120
Available donor drive MLC is BA3013

Thanks for the input.

sticker in the back of the PCB 4 lines. Top 2 lines have to match. That and a model number is the guide i am using. i never match MLC anymore.

Should be fine. How has the image process gone up to 70%? Smoothly or slow due to bads?

Imaging by heads map?

Head 0 and 1 had issues, so I turned those off, but still had some other bads on remaining heads. Will let everyone know how the final image turns out.
