Do anyone know if HTS541 heads are compatible with HTS421?
Well, I have a knocking HTS421 80Gb
Had a 80Gb donor, but head config was different
0,1,2 vs 1,2,3
So, I had a 100Gb HTS541
4 heads, so put those heads in.
No knocking, just spin up and straight to DRDY RSC
but no ID
Like it has bad NVRAM
Do we think, if the heads were bad or incompatible, the drive would knock still?
