Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

I have couple of Toshiba 1.8" drives that have bad PCB boards, and I need to replace the PCB to recover. I am told that the doner drive needs to be manufactured at about the same time as the drive that needs the PCB, to be compatible. How can I tell when the drive that I have was manufactured? Also is there any other things that I need to know to find the correct doner Drive.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,
If you change pcb, you will also desolder the processor on the old board, and resolder to the new one.
As the firmware and other adaptive parameters is stored there.
