WD5000BMVU heads swap

August 22nd, 2012, 6:17

Hi all,

I have to make a head swap on a WD5000BMVU-11A08S0, but it seems it's so difficult to find a donor on the net, I tried many hdd resellers but they don't have it...

So I'm asking if this drive could be a good donor for a head swap:

Patient:

WD5000BMVU-11A08S0
DATE: 20 JUN 2009
DCM: HBCVJHBB

Donor:

WD6400BMVV-11A1CS0
DATE: 12 DEC 2009
DCM: HHCVJHBB

Thanks!!
Simone
