It's Helios.
You can use ZSMS drive if you can't find TK7.

In my experience almost all Helios are compatible :
WD10TMVV-11TK7S1
WD10TMVW-11ZSMS0
WD10TMVW-11ZSMS1
WD10TMVW-11ZSMS4
WD10TMVW-11ZSMS5

With PCBs :
1820 - 1692 - 1814 - 1737 - 1761...etc

What about U4RT (example WD10TPVT-00U4RT1) ?
Is this compatible for head swap?

As i know also Shasta-3D are compatible with Helios family for head swap.

What's interesting is that very different slider patterns seem to work regardless . . .
