I wouldn't be focusing/concerned about the items you put in bold. Have you done a headswap before?

i did opened some HDDs covers in my sitting room before , where dust float around
just kidding , yes i did some head replacement , and i have a clean room , just i had my concerns about the firmware being different between the two .
thank you for clearing this point

I can remember not so long ago leaving H3 on one of these to image for 3 weeks. Got it all, dead slow though.
