Hi everyone,
i have a MQ04UBD200 AZA AB01/JT000U drive (4 heads, 2 platters).
I've already cloned on head 1,2,3. Head 0 was very weak and it died before finishing to clone (remaining about 263.000.000 LBAs not cloned yet).
At the moment i don't have a 2TB MQ donor drive for head swap but i've a pair of MQ01ABD050 AAS AAF2/AX0A3H (2 heads, 1 platter) here.
Does somebody know if this would be a valid head swap donor for cloning just on head 0 ?

I don't think anybody tried but it's unlikely that it would work.
MQ01 is 500GB per platter, MQ04 is 1TB per platter
