Hello,

Could you tell me what criteria should have donor for head replacement for this drive.

Patient detail:
MQ01ABF050
Drive rev: AAE AA01/AM001J
Date 12Jun2015
made in Philippinies

Are drive revision should be the same, or what part should be the same?

Marcin

Toshiba drives are very forgiving of heads compatibility. Just match the model and the rev code up to the "/" and you should be fine.

Jared, if for example we have Toshiba MQ01ABD100 (which has 4 heads) and we need to change heads because head 0 is faulty, can we get heads from donor drive that has only 2 heads (example from MQ01ABD050) so that we can clone surface 0 ?
