the thread was about head swap ?
New Seagate (F3) adaptives on ROM module are unique to drive, yes.

Greetings !

I'm not quite sure I did understand, but Nick_ST just stated he did a successful swap using those 2 PCBs from different drives. He didn't mentioned anything about ROM.
It's quite obvious that he transferred the ROM from the patient to the donor as those are F3 arch drives and adaptives are stored on ROM.
Regarding the Seagate drives you will only get away without swapping ROM on models older then Barracuda 7200.10 and you still have to use the same ROM code / firmware version as in the patient drive.


I want to correct my previous post;
I was induced intro thinking that we were talking about a different matter,
Now that i've re-read the first post on the thread I realized that Nick was talking about HEAD swapping and NOT PCB swapping.

Note to self - Have to start reading the entire threads before posting !

OMG....DDI costs USD3600.

hm...............can anyone here show me any other option?

I bought a donor drive. Mine said WU for site. But the donor said TK for site. Everything is the same. I went to local data servicing places and asked them if you would me swap the heads. They refused because I have use their complete data recovery services which would cost anywhere from USD1000 and up. I do not know to swap these heads and afraid to do it myself


Can anyone here give me any other betters and/or advices other than paying these professions USD1000 and up with no guarantee?

Restore from backup :)
Joking a bit...but you can take out tooth your self also, would You do it?
