Hi,
The preliminary donor selection can be made on the basis of a small label at the bottom
It should be the same central part of the P/N designation

That's interesting. I notice that the ST1000LM024 model has 3 versions of this code -- G94A, G941 and G141. I believe that the the third digit is the number of preamp channels (1 channel per head). In this case there are 4 channels.

The 640GB (3 heads) and 750GB (3 heads) models also have a "4" in this position.

The 250GB (1 head) and 500GB (2 heads) models have a "2" in this position.

The ST2000LM003 (6 heads) and ST1500LM006 (5 heads) have a "6" in this position.

Perhaps the OP could compile a list of these codes together with the preamp IDs in terminal. I suspect that one of the characters in the code (the 2nd character?) could reflect the manufacturer of the preamp while another (the 4th character?) might identify the actual device.

Mine was G84A

If you compare the preamp ID reported in terminal against the 4-character code, you may be able to decipher the meaning of each character. That should help with future donor searches.
