Hi everyone

I have a WD20SMRM-59A4S, made in Thailand, December 2022, that needs a head swap. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find the exact same model locally, but I do have access to the following potential donor drives:

WD20SDRW-11VUUS0 Thailand Oct 2019
WD20SDRW-34VUUS0 Thailand Sep 2022
WD20SMZW-11JW8S0 Malaysia Dec 2018
WD20SDRM-59A4DS1 Thailand Feb 2020

Would any of these be compatible for a head swap?

Thanks

How exactly does the drive behave when turned on?

What is the DCM code of the patient, and then post the DCM codes and date of the donors you can get.

Hi, VUU should work. I have used VUU on these drives before without issues.
