I can find a lot of SATA drives but none with 'A04' in the second parts of the number.
There are a lot of A03's but not sure about compatibility??

Match DCM characters 5 & 6 on a Venus 4 head stack and you should be good to go. A04 / A03 isn't important.

+1 Try a Denali

Had some trouble finding a Marn5 4K HSA until Northwind cleared that Marn5 4K and Mariner where compatible :)

Thanks for the help. How do you know if another drive family will work as a donor?
