Got this little gem that had been to another repair shop, obviously missing its label.

Drive is horribly unstable but SA is fine.

3K ID's it as per the label but I'm a bit confused as the label gives me the idea its a 160GB drive yet the 3K shows it to be 1TB drive.

Long story short, I need to match a donor yet the model number takes me down the 160GB route

Anybody know the likely DCM headmap for this thing, or possible matching donors I could try ?

Model : WDC WD1600BEVT-00A23T0
Serial : WD-WXE1A10S4950
Firmware : 01.01A01
Capacity : 1 000 GB (1 953 525 168)

Looks like a 160 GB Jamaica and WD also list that serial number as WD1600BEVT-00A23T0

Is the PCB native? Could that be the cause of the instability?

ISTM that module 02 is not native, or may have been edited. That would explain the capacity problem. There may be backups on 802F and/or 802E. I think C5 might have some hardware configuration info.

Would it be helpful to upload the SA resources?

Answered on the other forum too....

You checked the serial on the label... Can you trust it's the original label?
That's why I told you to check the PCB...
Jamaica PCB's are 2061-771672. The one from your drive is the same?
