Do you think is appropriate donor hard disk head?

Judging by the question, I guess you are not experienced in head swaps and data recovery in general.

Are you sure you want to do this yourself? With that particular drive, chances of success are... zero?

PS. You are willing to spend $200 for a donor but you won't consider pro help?

Can you tell me why is not suitable donor?

[northwind]

I didn't say it isn't.
I said it will not work if YOU do it.

Northwind is right. Even if you have diagnosed it right, and even if the head change goes well, you will struggle to extract the data without specialist equipment to maintain stability and compensate for read errors and slow surface access which is very common after such repairs...

I have a clean room and equipment

[hddguy]

What equipment?

[newtontr]

Hddsurgery brand head replacement tools

[hddguy]

I think you missed my point......

In short, the donor part is compatible enough. Try at your own risk.

Thank you hddguy .
