Need help choosing a parts doner Fujitsu MHW2120BH

August 30th, 2023, 19:28

I am in a bit of a nightmare trying to do data recovery off of a 2007 MacBook. While dumping the entire thing with DD, the drive died 80% of the way through.

Is there a resource I am unaware of to determine which hard drives I can have a reasonable expectation that I can swap arm / head parts?

I have attached a picture of the drive, but this is the information I have on it.

Fujitsu
Model: MHW2120BH ID: YTTN
Part NO. 0A06820-B38800AP
SER. NO. NZ41T762B7HE DATE: 2007-06-02

REV.NO: A 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 BOLD is crossed out.

I have found several of these drives available on amazon and ebay, but they have varying amounts of similarities to this drive. Can I just use any of them, or should I be looking for something specific?

As far as me trying to fix it is concerned, I already have a arm/head comb, and I am pretty confident with swapping parts around. I am just trying to get the drive alive enough to rip all the data off it with DD, and they get it out of my life forever.

Anyway, thank you for the advice! I hope I posted this in the right place. Sorry if I didn't or I missed an obvious thread or something. Thanks!

Of course after I posted this, I found a reasonably priced drive searching for a Apple part number 655-1349B

I would still love to hear any other suggestions people have.
