Samsung ST1000LM024 Head Replacement Matching Specs

October 30th, 2014, 18:24

Bit confusing. I presume you need:-
Model
P/N
Site and DOM if possible

But are the three digits after the P/N required eg: HH-M101BMM/AVN

There are drives who's three digits are very close ie AV2 are these a match?
There are drives with no digits after the P/N, so are those a match?

Advice would be appreciated.

This is a Samsung drive rebranded as Seagate...you must follow Samsung matching protocols.

The matching protocols I have (via Donor Drives) are a little unclear with how it relates to this drive

Full Model # - Yes I get that
Bar Code Side - whatever that means.
Firmware if possible?

These drives do not have the 5 digit code that is usually detailed under the bar code. So these are a little different. According to Donor Drives you need to match the three letters after the model number. So for this drive (with no firmware detailed) the matching criteria is ST1000LM024/AVN.

HH-M101BMM, plus same country plus same Seagate model will get you a good match.
