Hi all! After the Seagate Barracuda 2TB (Model: ST2000DM001, SN: S2F06XNM, PN: 9YN164-302, FW: CC4C, Date: 12385 Site :SU) HD was diagnosed by professional data repair company it turned out that the heads will need to be swapped. Any idea how to find donor drive for it? Thank you!

Have you ever done a read/write head replacement? If not, this is not the case to start with. These drives suck even for professionals with the right tools. Without that, you don't even stand a remote chance of pulling it off yourself. Even if you did somehow get the new heads in without destroying them (doubtful), you'd never be able to stabilize the drive and keep it working long enough to copy any data.

No, I did not make the head replacement and not going to do it by myself. Clearly this is the job for processionals. But I will really appreciate if somebody pointed me to right person OR where the HD donor can be found for it? Thank you again.

Well, if you go to the right person, you don't have to worry about the donor.

Hey, what makes somebody certified?
Apart from that i understand your concern, it is very hard to tell something about a company before you let them do your case.
But pro members can give you good recommendation, like Northwind did, knowing your location would help a lot.

sometimes that can be very annoying and painful.
imagine you gave your drive for some DR firm without knowing them, and apparently you gave it to a crap company who ruined your drive forever without the ability to recover data, then what ?
ye, of course now you know the truth about them but the price you paid is sometimes to high.
