WD5000BMVV-11SXZS1 head selection.

[Gordon Bulger]

I need heads for this drive. Will any set of heads with the same model and month/country of manufacture work or are there any characters that must match in the DCM code or elsewhere.

Thanks

same model with DCM TJ or VJ same as patient would be okay.

Good Luck...

Gordon Bulger, Hi, my experience is to look for a model with *SXZS* (in this case). When the DCM fits (TJ, VJ or T2) would be even better. Sometimes the sizes are diffent, but should not be a problem (important is the numbre of heads). I had a lot of different successful cases, where the sizes where different. Hope this helps you.
