Maxtor DiamondMax 10 compatibility question

[raf-pl]

Dears,

I have another question regarding compatibility for HDA replacement.
I have bad 6L250S0 model with parameters:
- Code BANC1G10
- N,M,C,A
- SN: 6L...
- TLA: 6L250S006731A; AAB

and I can buy something like this:
- 6L250R0
- K,G,C,A
- SN: 6L...
-TLA: 6L250R0A63401; AAB

I know compatibilty requirements for Maxtor drives but I can not find suitable drive. I am desperate now so help me please.

Thank you for any kind of help.

Regards,
Rafael

I don't think you'll be lucky replacing the heads from the 6L250R0 into the 6L250S0, but if you don't have any other option just try it.

Hi,

Head types differ, I think.

even NMCA and KMCA is not same

Prodata,

does it mean all letter should match?
I have read that only third letter is important.

Hi,

at least first and last. But even this won't guarantee compatibility...

Pepe,

you are saving my money;) Thanks a lot.

BTW: Do you know other requirements?
As far as I know model and second letter of SN is important (number of heads).

P.S. There is something like AAB ( I saw AAA on similar model). What does it mean? Anybody know?
