ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB/JP3

[Aqilah]

Hi,

I am needing an assistance on finding a donor drive for a head replacement for the HDD below:

Brand: Samsung Spinpoint
Model: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB/JP3
Date: 01/2014
P/N: E7023-G941-A56C2
Heads: 4
Preamplifier revision: *PAUNI_T5563 Pwg=0000*PA VID=000C PN=0049 Rev=0003- PA_UNI Found

QUESTION 1
However I cannot find a drive that has an exact similar donor to these. Is there any alternative to this?

QUESTION 2
What is JP3 stands for? Is it necessary to match this? Some HDD I've come across has different extension like AV & EX2.

QUESTION 3
I also have read somewhere that we can use ST1000LM014 USB HDD as a donor drive for my HDD. Can anyone confirms this?

QUESTION 4
Can I use Seagate HDD as a donor drive for my Samsung HDD?

Hello,
-matching G941 should give you a compatible donor.
-JP3 is irrelevant
-ST1000LM014 is a Seagate SSHD, completely different, perfectly incompatible with yours. However, there is ST1000LM025 which might work.
-You can use Seagate hdd as long as it is the Samsung branch. Not the native seagate ones.

Hi,

I've found this donor drives but I'm not sure if it's compatible or not because I'm still confused. Can you advise me on this.

Is it important to have a match Preamplifier revision and do we need to find the exact or closest manufacturing date? And I have also seen somewhere that we need to match the fifth, sixth and seven alphanumerics of S/N. In my case, its J9C.
