Is PCB WD 2061-701640-802 compatible with 2061-701640-002 ?

Hello,

Does someone know if the PCB with suffix 802 can replace the PCB with suffix 002 ?
It's for a WD Caviar Green ; drive model and P/N are same.

Which is the signification of the suffix in the PCB-number of Western Digital drives ?

Thanks.

I've seen some anomalies with that number being off. For example I've seen where you could read but not write data using a certain set of heads because of this number being different. Definitely try to match the whole PCB number, but if you have it handy, it doesn't hurt to try it.
