Most likely heads will fit, but this probability isn't 100% perfect - once we've had one, where everything except the S/N was the same, but heads didn't match.

But be prepared to a concentric scratch. If the drive is clicking and unable to id, then I'd say that probability of scratch is 95-98%. If it identifies, but one head isn't reading, then chances are lower, but still high.

The exclusions are drives, where heads got stuck and died because of that or just turned inside out / smashed.
