Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

I have received several WD5000AAKS drives which PCB's doesn't match the HDA's. The previous owner apparently has tried PCB swap.
For the older WD drives the PCB serial number was written in a firmware module. Is it the same with the current models? If yes, which module I should look at?

Let's try another question.
Assuming I could read both Flash and SA modules.
Which module should match Flash content if the PCB is the original?

Portions of many modules contains flash info.

OK. Which portion of flash info is unique for each drive and which module contains this portion?

You don't have that many choices
