Without buying hundreds of 2.5" WD drives and manually looking at the PCB numbers how else can I identify drives that might have that PCB number ?


What I mean by this is; is there a way to link the PCB number with a drive's model number ?

So if searching online for a PCB number yields nothing then maybe searching for the drives model number instead may get a result.

for example : 2060-771692-005 = WD6400BPVT-80HXZT1

Short of building a listing or buying a listing from somebody who has collected this info, not really. Otherwise have to search manually.
