Hello, did anyone find a compatible heads for ST4000DM005 in any other model? I had only one donor. Used it already and all the DM005 i find seem to be to far with DOM or SN to give them a try. As they are new, there is no other way other than to purchase and check. But maybe someone used other heads?

The only thing that matters is preamp and i think they all have the same. But check.

Yes. The only reason why people check PN,SN,date,code is to get the same preamp. At least that's my opinion.

Preamp and headmap are the only things that need to match.

You can do it from ROM dump and using Hex Editor. Works for all F3 drives except Rosewood.
