The subject HDD appears to use PCB # OA90351.

FWIW, my Google searches would suggest that the same PCB is used in the following models:

    HTS541010A9E680
    HTS541075A9E680
    HTS545050A7E680
    HTS545050A7E380
    HTS545032A7E380
    HTS725032A7E630
    HTS725050A7E630

    HTS721010A9E630

One question I would have is whether it is possible for 7200RPM and 5400RPM drives to use the same heads. ISTM that the heads would fly at different heights if this were the case.

Wrong question - two answers:
compatible heads -> pepe
compatible PCB -> Fzabkar

somehow i thought you are looking for heads...

@Frank: I mixed heads in samsung SI/SJ back and forth, and many other families, including hitachies as well.
Since adapting FH is not a big problem for me i did not really care. Many times i have to do it even with heads from same family...
