Those heads are compatible, these drives are relatively easy to work with.

Is there a solution to this currently?
I am not asking for a solution, I am asking if someone already has a method so that changing heads does not kill the data On Toshiba SMR drives.

Pc3000/MRT have planned something on this topic?. I have seen something about the next update of pc300 (7.3) But I don't know mention anything about Toshiba ......

I guess it will be SA write lock, same as Seagate/WD, but Toshiba ROM is totally unknown to me currently..... :(

I will wait to see if the new update of pc3000 advances something in this matter, if so I will not waste time, but if nothing advances in Toshiba SMR, we will have to invest time in this matter. At least here these units enter a lot and in a significant percentage it would be necessary to change heads.
