in WD unlock utility it shows
that it is SPYGLASS2

so probably it's not compatible with WD40NMZW-11GX6S1

Based only about the information on the label - that's all you need to find a twin disc.

However, if they differ or similar - you must have such a disk (donor) in your hand.
Then - to be sure - you need to unlock the patient and donor roms.
And compare three parameters:

Surface format revision
Preamp Vendor
Preamp revision

Of course, with a consistent number of heads and their mapping....

Hi,
WD30NMZW-11LG6S1
WD40NMZW-11GX6S1
WD40NPZZ-00PDPT0

Although all these 3 are from the same SpyGlass family, you need to check the number of heads for your 3 TB HDD. The number of heads can differ from 4 TB HDD.
