Donordrive

[jonbang]

I have a seagate ST31000333AS, P/N 9FZ136-100, Firmware LC15
I amlooking for donordrive for swapping HDA.
The motor has stopped spinng, and its stucked, so i need to swap the platters to another HDA.

you can use any Brinks or Pharaoh(4+heads), probably Moose as well (1TB version) HDA i think. However, prepare yourself for quite some suck if you 'just' swap the platters over.

I like to make sure that the bottom side of the motor matches between patient and donor, too. Some are flush, while others are indented slightly.

Individual platter swap can be done, but it isn't easy and certainly not something you'd want to do without having PC3000 available.
